Netflix’s hit reality show “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On” brought its latest season to Las Vegas, turning luxury apartment community Ariva into a temporary reality TV hub.
From customized cast residences to resort-style amenities used throughout filming, Ariva reveals what went on behind the scenes of hosting the two-month production and how the Las Vegas property became the perfect backdrop for the hit series.
Jessie Boskamp, Duty Manager of Ariva Luxury Residences — the premier resort-style apartment community in Southwest Las Vegas and the Official Luxury Apartments of the Las Vegas Raiders and Las Vegas Aces — sat down exclusively with The Blast to discuss what it was like filming the reality show on the property.
The new season of “The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On” on Netflix premieres on Wednesday, July 15. For residents of Ariva Luxury Residences in Southwest Las Vegas, there’s an elevated level of excitement to watch this season. For two months last year, the complex became the backdrop for the new season of the hit reality series.
“The production team first reached out to us around January 2025 while they were scouting locations in Las Vegas. After several site tours, they quickly saw that Ariva offered exactly what they were looking for,” Jessie Boskamp, Duty Manager of Ariva Luxury Residences told The Blast exclusively. “They toured our furnished residences and amenity spaces, met with our team to discuss logistics, and ultimately presented Ariva to their production team as the ideal location.”
From that point on, Ariva worked closely with production to prepare for filming. From mid-March to mid-May of 2025, the cast and production team were onsite “making Ariva their home throughout the filming process.”
What It Was Like Working With The Production Team During Filming At Ariva
When the season premieres on Wednesday, residents will get to see their home on the TV screen, and fans of the show will get to experience what it’s like living at Ariva.
“Viewers will see many different areas throughout Ariva. Nearly all of our amenity spaces were utilized, including our pools, fitness areas, lounges, and outdoor gathering spaces,” Boskamp said. “The cast also lived in our fully furnished, serviced residences, so those apartments became a major part of the filming as well.”
For the staff at Ariva, the experience was something they called “incredible.” They said the production team was “extremely professional, organized, and respectful of both our staff and our residents.”
“Film production moves at an incredibly fast pace, and it was impressive to watch everything come together,” Boskamp shared. “Communication was excellent throughout the entire process, and everyone we worked with was genuinely kind and collaborative.”
What Made Ariva The Right Fit For The Reality Show?
Many might wonder what it was about Ariva that fit the vibe the reality show was seeking. One step on property, and you might already know why Ariva was a “natural fit for the show.”
“Ariva offered everything production needed in one location,” Boskamp said. “Our spacious community allowed cast members to be spread throughout the property while still remaining close together. The wide variety of resort-style amenities also provided numerous filming locations and beautiful backdrops, giving the production team flexibility without ever needing to leave the property. Combined with our luxury furnished residences, Ariva was a natural fit for the show.”
Ahead of filming, the complex hosted “multiple planning and walkthrough meetings with the production team to determine which residences would work best for each cast member” as well as what spots on property would be best for filming.
“Each of the six primary cast apartments were thoughtfully designed with its own unique theme, color palette, furnishings, and decor to reflect different personalities and create distinct spaces on screen,” Boskamp said. “It was fascinating to watch that creative process unfold.”
