But just off the Strip, tucked into the vibrant AREA15 complex, lies a different kind of attraction — Omega Mart by Meow Wolf. For $43, you gain entry into a sprawling, interactive art installation that blurs the lines between art, storytelling, and playful discovery. The tour lasts about a day, but really, you’ll find yourself wishing for more time inside this mind-bending universe.
What we love about Omega Mart? First, the attention to detail in both the artistry and storytelling. The second is the unexpected surprises at every turn—hidden doors, secret portals, and quirky art pieces that make every visit feel fresh and unpredictable. A potential downside?

Step Inside Omega Mart — What to Expect

Omega Mart is more than a typical tourist attraction; it’s a multisensory experience. Once inside, you’re met with a supermarket that appears normal at first glance but quickly reveals its more bizarre side. Think aisles filled with colorful, odd-shaped products that seem straight out of a sci-fi movie. As you wander, you’ll stumble upon hidden doors and portals leading to surreal environments—each more unexpected than the last.
The Layout and Atmosphere
The entire installation sprawls across a large space, cleverly designed to make you feel like you’re stepping into a living, breathing art piece. Local and international artists contribute to the stunning visual displays scattered throughout. We loved the way the environment constantly challenges perceptions—what looks like a normal aisle might suddenly lead to a dystopian landscape or a trippy, colorful universe.
The Surprising Appeal of Hidden Spots and Portals
Reviewers repeatedly mention how much fun it is to uncover hidden rooms and secret pathways. Myra described her grandson’s delight in “finding all the hidden spots that took you to a different room or level.” These surprises are what make Omega Mart so engaging—each turn can unveil a new art installation, a secret passage, or an interactive element. You might find yourself wandering for hours just trying to discover every nook and cranny.
