Omega Mart by Meow Wolf

Omega Mart by Meow Wolf is an immersive, interactive art installation inside AREA15, at 3215 S Rancho Dr, just west of the Strip off I-15 in Las Vegas, Nevada. It is staged as a surreal supermarket, with shelves of strange products, a working-looking dairy aisle and a cashier counter at the entrance. Hidden portals behind refrigerators, shelves and other fixtures lead into more than 60 artist-built rooms, which include neon forests, psychedelic caverns, music rooms and sculptural environments. Visitors explore at their own pace, opening doors, crawling through passages and following a storyline told through documents, screens and clues scattered across the space. A typical visit lasts two to three hours, although those who follow the whole narrative or return to rooms may stay longer. The exhibit is dim and colorful, so photographers do best in the glowing rooms and in the main grocery aisles. General admission costs about $45 to $59 online, Nevada residents can pay from about $36, and VIP tickets run about $93 to $99. Hours vary by day but often run from around 10:00 AM to 11:00 PM, so visitors should check omegamart.com. Crowds build on evenings and weekends, when rooms with small entrances can have waits, while weekday mornings are quietest. Non-residents typically pay a parking fee, and a rideshare from the Center Strip takes about 10 minutes and costs roughly $12 to $18. AREA15 also contains bars, shops and other attractions.
