AREA15

Meow Wolf was amazing! Beautiful colors and patterns, animated or morphing. Something new around every corner. Some objects are less beautiful,(intentional, no doubt), perhaps even ugly but maybe thought-provoking or even inspiring. Lots to see and do, so it's worth a return trip.

First time visiting here and it’s a vibe! The VR stuff inside here can be expensive ($55) but it’s a cool spot to walk around. There’s a bar with some arcade games. Great date spot in my opinion

Cool place which we entered with / for tickets to Omega Mart by Meow Wolf (highly recommend). We didn't explore much here due to time constraints but seemed like a really cool venue that you can access free, I believe. You'll need a ticket is all. Immersive art, at its finest.

So many amazing things to do here! Definitely worth stopping in if you can make it off-Strip next time you are in Vegas!
I highly recommend the Lost Spirits shows and fine dining, but really, it's all good stuff here.

Great vibe and many things to do. Entry is free but each experience has a cost and can be pricey but you can find deals online. Bars and food options available with reasonable prices. All black lights and flashy LED. Beautiful colors and so much to look at. Had a wonder experience and time.

We are a happily married couple in our mid 40”s, no kids, and have been together for just over 25 years. We love to adventure and try new things. Here is our experience at Area 15.
Area 15 is a mini interactive (mostly indoor) theme park. It has food and drinks, rides, attractions, and shows. We thought it was similar to the Pacific Science Center in Seattle or the OMSI in Portland, just repackaged.
We did the VIP package at Omega Mart, during the day. They have an adults only option only on certain nights after 7pm, which I wish we would have considered. Omega Mart was fun, but we did not do the scavenger hunt. The scavenger hunt was interactive, but we didn’t see any of the stations cleaned or sanitized while we were there, not that we were participating anyway. We simply walked around Omega Mart and took in all of the sights, sounds, and experiences. The sheer complexity of Omega Mart is overwhelming until you get your bearings. Take your time and enjoy it. The extra $35/each for the VIP was not worth it for the free pin and drink, and was of no benefit for any of the other attractions. The Oddwood bar is fun, the drinks were tasty, and the staff was nice.
We left Omega Mart and ate lunch at The Beast, which is inside the same building. We ea Cho had a beer and shared a delicious pizza and Caesar salad. Our server Carla was awesome. She was friendly and answered all of our questions. Carla also recognized during our meal that we had not gotten our salad in a timely manner and she fixed it immediately.
For Area 15 we purchased the Unlimited Experience Pass. Brainstorm, Museum Fiasco, and Wink World were just boring. Standing in line just to look at some lights didn’t seem to make anyone happier.
We skipped by Haley’s Comet, not because it didn’t look fun, but the wait was way longer than the ride. Even though it was not included in our package, we would have done it had the line been shorter.
The Asylum Arcade was huge and had a lot of fun video games. The wait for the racing simulators that were part of our package was ridiculously long, so we skipped it.
We skipped Particle Quest because it did not sound fun. You walk around and take pics of certain lights and if you get to them all the tree at the bar lights up. We also skipped the Van Gogh VR because I never even saw it or if it existed. We skipped Birdly. Long wait, no payoff. I can do it at home with VR goggles.
We ventured over to the Illuminarium (it’s just a 360 degree IMAX with very few seats) which was showing Space. We stood in line for several minutes and when the lady scanned our QR code she explained that we had to go through a whole process to check in at the front desk to get paper tickets, because Illuminarium is owned by a separate company. So even though we had paid for this experience in our package, we had to go get tickets and we missed the showtime we had been waiting for. The next show was only another 15 minutes, but the absurdity of the whole thing had us pretty fed up. It’s a NASA movie on the imax. We were bored, and we didn’t look like the only ones. So we left about 10 minutes into the show Not just the Illuminarium, but Area 15 all together.
If you don’t have kids, we recommend Omega Mart, but do the adults only version. It looks like a fun couples night, or a night out for the guys. The Area 15 food and drink options are good and prices were reasonable. Since we had a cocktail at Oddwood and a beer at lunch, we also skipped the Axe Throwing bar, 5 Iron Golf bar, and the Liftoff bar. But the Liftoff ride looked like it would have been fun.
If you have kids under about 12, skip Omega Mart. They won’t get it. If you have kids 12 or above, Omega Mart and the scavenger hunt looked like fun for the whole family. The rest of the Area 15 attractions are a great way to keep the kids busy if you want to play virtual golf or sit at one of the bars and drink, but don’t be surprised if they get bored.

If I had to summarize this place with one brief sentence, I would say "It's as if Blue Man Group ran a mall".

It's an immersive artistic experience with a central mystery that you are challenged to explore and solve. But it's also more and also less than that. How you experience it and how much enjoy it is totally up to you and how you approach this.

If you want to explore, allocate at least three hours to it. The experience will cost you upwards of $60

If you just want to do a little shopping, dining and drinking, you can just go in and see the shops. The bars, the restaurants and the shops are diverse and interesting.
