"It's not a secret we're looking at this market in Las Vegas. We are looking at Seattle. We've looked at other markets, as well. I'd say I want to be sensitive there about this notion that we're somehow teasing these markets, because I know we've been talking about it for a while.

Opening February 2026 with a Grand Opening celebration scheduled for President's Day weekend, the Laugh Factory's arrival at Horseshoe Las Vegas marks a significant milestone in the venue's evolution.
