Grand Slam Canyon, currently known as Adventuredome, is an American indoor theme park connected directly to the Circus Circus Las Vegas hotel and casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. Opened on August 23, 1993, the park eventually grew to became one of the city's more recognizable entertainment destinations, and remains in operation to this day. Sega collaborated with Circus Circus Enterprises to create and produce the venue's arcade-focused areas.[1]

Venue

Billed as "America's largest indoor theme park," Grand Slam Canyon is themed around the American Southwest, designed to recall the colors and textures of the Grand Canyon. The park's most prominent attraction is the Canyon Blaster, a double loop, double corkscrew roller coaster which dips in and out of the venue's artificial mountains. The Rim Runner boat ride plummets guests down a 60 ft. waterfall, and the Fun House Express packs riders into an IMAX motion simulator. The park also boasts the Hot Shots laser tag arena, the Xtreme Zone bungee trampoline, the Mystic Magic Theater, a traditional carnival midway, carousel, and bumper cars, among other attractions.[2]

Grand Slam Canyon is also directly connected to the Midway arcade, located in the adjoining Circus Circus hotel, which Sega overtook management of and renovated around the same time.[1]
