Meow Wolf's Omega Mart presso AREA15

I’m honestly not even sure how to describe Omega Mart because… it’s weird. 😂 You get your ticket, walk in, and basically have to figure out what you’re supposed to be doing. There’s a storyline hidden throughout the exhibit that you can piece together, and you can ask for hints—but maybe that’s cheating?! 😂 Everything looks normal at first, but then you start realizing that literally everything is just a little bit… off. There are clues everywhere, and if you really want to follow the entire storyline, I think you need to set aside several hours. We were there for a couple of hours, and by the end we finally had to ask someone to just tell us what we had missed. 😂 Even without figuring everything out, though, it was SO much fun to explore. The entire exhibit is incredibly elaborate, weird, creative, and interesting. And the secret passageways!! There are hidden doors and passageways all over the place that let you sneak from one room into another, which made exploring even more fun. One thing we didn’t realize beforehand is that Omega Mart is inside Area15, and there are a TON of other stores, restaurants, and things to do there. We only planned enough time to get there, do Omega Mart, and leave, so we definitely didn’t give ourselves enough time to explore the rest of Area15. If you’re going, I’d recommend allowing extra time to check everything else out too! Definitely a unique experience, and I’m glad we did it—even if I still don’t completely understand what happened.

They have an ATM inside. Please use this to take your money out and then use it to wipe your bum as this would be better value for money.

Super weird. If your mind doesn't wrap around super natural then you probably won't enjoy it. Very expensive for the experience you get.

Lots of the kind of art you see at Burning Man, but this is better because you're in an air-conditioned building, no dust, though same loud music. We liked the tongue-in-cheek products in the store; I even bought some of Carlo's Blue Chile Pepper sauce for my brother as a gift to take back home. However, I wish the checkout person at the register would have reminded me that it's over the limit of liquids you can bring on a plane in your carry-on bag, so remember to check it in your luggage. I get to security at the airport and TSA won't let me bring it in, and I didn't want to go all the way back to the ticketing area to check my bag. So I offered it to the nice TSA lady as a gift, and she tells me "We just throw these things in the trash." Yeah, right - I bet! You know they keep all that stuff. So I literally threw away $10. Not terrible, and I did take a photo of it to show my brother, so at least he's got that. Next: we ate at a restaurant before we went into Omega Mart so I had my doggy bag with me. As we're about to enter, the employee looks into my bag and says I can't bring any food in with me. I tell him I'm not going to eat in there, and he says doesn't matter, no food is allowed inside so I can either put it my car (which I didn't have since we Ubered there) or put it in one of their storage lockers. Fine! Lockers in my neck of the woods are 50 cents, I'm sure I have change in my wallet. Um...sorry, the lockers here are 7 BUCKS! No way Jose am I paying that to store my leftover food. I put my bag down on the floor behind a stanchion in a corner and if it's there when I'm ready to leave, great. If not, no big loss. It was there when we were ready to leave! We did have two fun interactions with people while there. While sitting in a small closed room a disguised employee strode in and just stood there. Then she left. Then came back in again and then left again. When she came in for a third time we just stood up and did a crazy robot-like dance around the room with the employee and when another guest entered the room, we told him he had to join in, which he did. And then when we were in OmegaMart standing in front of the meat counter, three women suddenly appeared behind the case and acted like workers, asking if they could help us. I asked for some of "those things," and they said they didn't have any, but I could have some of "that" instead. I said I didn't want "that." Then they offered "them things" and I took half a pound. It's great when you find people willing to have fun with strangers. When you're done looking at all the art, you can sit in the comfy chairs in the chill tent and have a rest. Yes, it's overpriced, but it's still a cheaper ticket than Burning Man's.

Fun experience. Lots to see and do there. Spent several hours exploring. The price could be made more affordable for families. It’s a bit steep, but definitely worth doing in Vegas

It was well worth the cost. Lots of cool art and things to see/ experience. The “boop” was very difficult to figure out and there were way too many people in certain rooms though. Also, staff did not approach us to help.

I was wildly underwhelmed by this experience. I expected something totally mind blowing and cohesive, but instead, what we experienced was a pretty cool grocery store, full of humorous merchandise and a number of entrances into a bunch of meaningless hallways in rooms filled with games and a storyline that made no sense. They suggest you purchase a “BOOP” card, but this card does absolutely nothing. I would not bother visiting this.

Way overrated. Best part was the actual store, which worth browsing for maybe 30 min or less. Rest is ideal only for kids and pre-teens. Some teens may find the upgraded VIP experience worth doing, which is mainly finding the tap and go locations and reading all the additional screen based information. VIP does add a pin and a drink at their bar, which was conveniently closed when we tried to get our promised "free drink" because the bartender "needed a break". We spent probably an hour here, half in the store and half in the back. Felt like I wasted my $$$. Area 15 itself is free to wander, I recommend doing this and selecting the actual items you want to experience before paying. On a good note, the sushi/poke joint was really good. No complaints there.

This experience was not as good as we expected . Ir was a little unorganized and too many people in there we once . It took us all of less than an hour to look around . Plus I needed to change my entry time and they didn’t answer .

Good experience. Kids had fun. We should have booked the VIP package so they could do the scavenger hunt
