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.
