The vibrant world of interactive gaming and dining at Caesars Palace has hit a financial wall. Electric Playhouse, the Las Vegas-based tech-infused entertainment venue known for blending digital games with fine dining, filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection on Monday, seeking refuge from a storm of eviction proceedings and millions in unpaid construction debts.

The bankruptcy petition, filed by CEO Brandon Garrett, lists between $1 million and $10 million in both assets and liabilities, according to documents submitted in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Nevada.

At the center of the financial collapse is a dispute involving millions owed to general contractor Shawmut Design and Construction and several subcontractors who helped bring the high-tech venue to life. Electric Playhouse’s landlord has also launched eviction proceedings, adding yet another layer to the venue’s mounting troubles.

“The debtor is facing significant financial pressure from multiple sides, including eviction and contractor claims related to the construction of its leased space,” Garrett stated in his first-day declaration.

Big Creditors and Big Numbers

The filing identifies up to 50 creditors, with the largest unsecured claims held by Shawmut Design and Construction, owed roughly $2.5 million, and Forum Shops LLC, the venue’s landlord, owed about $1.7 million.

Founded in 2022, Electric Playhouse sought to fuse motion-activated gaming, immersive lighting, and interactive dining into a single experience. The venue, located inside the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace, spans 10,000 square feet and hosts private parties, corporate events, and family entertainment sessions.

Despite its creative concept and prime location, the company’s rapid expansion and costly buildout have now become a financial burden.

A Vision Derailed

Electric Playhouse arrived in Las Vegas with ambitious goals — bringing an immersive playground for adults and families to one of the most iconic entertainment hubs in the world. But beneath the bright lights and interactive screens, the company was quietly struggling to keep up with construction costs and operational expenses.

Industry analysts say the bankruptcy underscores the risky economics of experiential entertainment, where high-tech installations demand massive upfront investments but often face slower-than-expected returns.

The case has been assigned to U.S. Bankruptcy Judge Natalie M. Cox, and the company is represented by Matthew C. Zirzow of Larson & Zirzow LLC.

A representative for Electric Playhouse did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Wednesday.

As the company navigates Chapter 11, the fate of its dazzling, sensor-driven playground remains uncertain — a reminder that in Las Vegas, even the most electrifying shows can suddenly go dark.
