Venture into Otherworldly Fun at AREA15

Situated just off the north end of the Las Vegas Strip—only a few minutes’ drive away—AREA15 offers easy access from major resorts. While exact mileage varies request to request, it’s generally under 2 miles from the heart of the Strip, making it a swift hop via rideshare, taxi, or hotel shuttle.

This was one of the main attractions that we were interested in when we were in Las Vegas in April 2024. (Yes, I know this isn’t recent, but this place is noteworthy!). Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, located inside Area15 was our go to experience. We purchased the VIP experience which was $90.00 USD per person. This gave us the choice to arrive at any time on the date we chose; a special ticket and lanyard; a souvenir pin; and a complementary drink at the DataMosh bar.

What to Expect Inside

  • Free general admission is available during the day, but you’ll need to reserve a free entry pass beforehand to control capacity. If you book a specific experience, that counts as your entry.
  • Experience Bundles:
    • Access Level 1 – $49 for one-day access to 6 experiences
    • Access Level 2 – $99 for 11 experiences in one day
    • Access Level 3 – $124 for two-day access (12 experiences + access to Omega Mart)
    • Access Level 4 – $250 for full, two-day access to all experiences and more
  • Individual experience pricing varies. For instance:
    • Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart – ~$59 (adult); special local pricing may apply
    • Wink World – ~$20 (adult), ~$16 (kids)

Must-See Attractions

  • Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart – A surreal, mind-bending multi-room adventure that’s a highlight for many visitors.
