LAS VEGAS, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Advent Allen Entertainment today announced the acquisition of a premier 2.48-acre development site on the world-famous Las Vegas Strip that will become the future home of Top Gun Vegas. Developed through the collaboration of Advent Allen Entertainment today and Paramount, the project brings together one of the world's most iconic entertainment brands and blockbuster film franchises with a bold vision to create a destination unlike anything ever developed on the Las Vegas Strip.

Top Gun Vegas will transform the legendary Top Gun brand into a next-generation entertainment destination celebrating the enduring values of excellence, teamwork, courage, competition, and the exhilaration of flight that have captivated audiences around the world for nearly four decades. The destination will feature the Hard Deck restaurant and bar featured in Top Gun: Maverick, immersive attractions, experiential dining and retail, and a collection of interactive experiences designed to place guests at the center of one of the world's most beloved cinematic universes.

Located at 4815 South Las Vegas Boulevard, Las Vegas, Nevada, the 2.48-acre development site occupies one of the most prominent locations on the Las Vegas Strip. Fronting directly on Las Vegas Boulevard, the property backs onto Harry Reid International Airport, creating a dramatic aviation backdrop that perfectly complements the project's Hangar 2-inspired architecture and design. The site is located just north of the iconic Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign and near the new Las Vegas Athletics ballpark currently under construction. Positioned within one of the nation's fastest-growing sports and entertainment districts, the property is also near a proposed site of a future NBA arena, further reinforcing the area's emergence as Las Vegas' newest entertainment corridor.

"This is exactly where Top Gun belongs," said Mark Advent, Co-Founder of Advent Allen Entertainment today and creator of the New York New York Hotel & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip. "Like Top Gun itself, we believe in striving to be the best of the best, never settling for ordinary, and pursuing excellence in everything we do. Las Vegas embodies that philosophy. This remarkable site, with its direct connection to Harry Reid International Airport and its position on the legendary Las Vegas Strip, gives our Hangar 2-inspired architecture an authenticity and energy that simply can't be recreated anywhere else. It creates a powerful sense of place where the excitement of aviation, the spirit of Top Gun, and the energy of Las Vegas come together in a way that is powerful."

"Securing this site represents an important step in bringing our vision to life," said Bill Allen, Co-Founder of Advent Allen Entertainment. "The combination of an extraordinary location, one of the world's most recognized entertainment brands, and our collaboration with Paramount provides an exceptional foundation for success. Our commitment is to deliver a world-class guest experience with the highest standards of hospitality, execution, and operational excellence, creating a destination that visitors from around the world will make part of every trip to Las Vegas while becoming a lasting part of the community."

"We are proud to see Top Gun Vegas reach this significant milestone," said Josh Silverman, President, Global Products and Experiences, Paramount. "The Top Gun films have captivated audiences around the world for nearly four decades, and the Advent Allen Entertainment team has found a location in Las Vegas that exemplifies the spirit of the franchise. Top Gun Vegas will be an immersive destination that authentically celebrates the excitement, adventure, and enduring spirit of Top Gun while giving fans an entirely new way to experience the brand."

New details surrounding Top Gun Vegas-including first-look renderings, groundbreaking attractions, immersive experiences, key development milestones, and additional elements of the destination-will be unveiled as the project continues to take shape, building anticipation for what promises to become one of the most exciting new entertainment destinations on the Las Vegas Strip. 

An action classic beloved by global audiences, the Top Gun franchise stars Tom Cruise as aviator Pete "Maverick" Mitchell, a daring flyer who first trains at the Navy's prestigious fighter weapons school, and 30 years later, returns to train a detachment of Top Gun graduates for a specialized mission, the likes of which no living pilot has ever seen. After the original film cemented itself in pop culture, the follow-up, Top Gun: Maverick, was a box office smash, grossing $1.49 billion worldwide.
