‘Star Wars’ attraction coming soon to Venetian, Palazzo

As Luke Skywalker’s mentor once said: “Your eyes can deceive you. Don’t trust them.”

Later this month, Grand Canal Shoppes visitors can deceive their eyes, touch and even smell in virtual reality with a new “Star Wars” attraction.

Participants, who must be 10 or older, will work in teams of four to navigate a storyline that includes breaking into an enemy base alongside characters from the science fiction franchise, according to a statement Monday.

Tickets start at $32.95 a person, according to the attraction’s website. The Void, a startup, developed the experience with Lucasfilm’s ILMXLAB and opened two locations in London and Orlando, Florida, in December.

Tickets for “Star Wars: Secrets of the Empire” went on sale Monday. The attraction, inside The Venetian and Palazzo, opens April 27 at 10 a.m. Hours of operation are Monday through Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m., Thursday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m.
