Step beyond the neon lights of the Las Vegas Strip into a world where reality blurs with imagination and fun at AREA15. From immersive art installations and mind-bending exhibits to adrenaline-pumping VR adventures and interactive experiences you won’t find anywhere else, this offbeat entertainment hub is redefining what it means to “go out” in Sin City.
Whether you’re chasing thrills, snapping surreal photo ops, or just looking for something totally different and memorable, here are five experiences you can have at AREA15.
I’ve tried all these experiences to give you some inside info on what to expect and who might enjoy each specific one. Please note: While we only discuss five here, there are many others to enjoy, so be sure to visit AREA15’s website.
Step Into The World Of Elite Assassins & High-Stakes Action At The JOHN WICK EXPERIENCE
The sleek, high-stakes world of “John Wick” at AREA15 is where immersive fun drops you straight into the life of the legendary assassin. Blending cinematic set design with interactive storytelling, the experience puts you in the middle of pulse-pounding missions filled with enemies, strategy, and adrenaline.
You’ll go room to room tackling challenges and meeting interesting people along the way. Every moment feels like a scene pulled straight from the blockbuster franchise. With cutting-edge tech and live-action elements, this experience is a thrilling, one-of-a-kind adventure that lets you channel your inner Wick right in the heart of Sin City.
Whether you’ve seen the movies before or not, this experience puts you in the center of the excitement. You’ll laugh out loud, have a bit of an adrenaline rush and want to go back for more!
I’ve done this experience twice and both times were a bit different. The crowd you are paired with can make this different each time you do it. I never saw a single “John Wick” film (I know, I know) and I had the time of my life. AREA15 certainly has a way of making you feel that you are actually part of a very different world during these interactive experiences. The sets are amazing and real-feeling and the characters you meet along the way make this seem like you are part of the movie.
Explore In The Coolest Ways At Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart
All ages fun awaits at Omega Mart, the wildly imaginative attraction from art collective Meow Wolf. It debuted in 2021 and quickly became a must-visit for all ages.
At first glance, the space resembles a somewhat typical supermarket, but a closer look reveals it’s anything but ordinary. Hidden doors and unexpected passageways lead visitors into surreal, otherworldly environments, with each room offering its own unique surprises.
What starts in the grocery store quickly unfolds into a multi-level adventure. Each room opens new curiosity and laughs and no two visits are quite the same.
I’ve been to Omega Mart at AREA15 multiple times – possibly more than five! This experience is such a fun time regardless of who you go with and how many times you’ve been there. You’ll be climbing, crawling, finding hidden passageways, and seeing some surreal scenes. There are tons of picture perfect spots for the coolest selfies and you can spend hours here just enjoying all the interesting moments.
Get Your Party On At Oddyssey Manor And Oddyssey Noir
Recently added to AREA15’s lineup of fun are Oddyssey Manor and Oddyssey Noir. This mysterious, underground nightlife concept was designed for a new generation of partygoers seeking something beyond the traditional mega-club scene. Hidden within the energy of an immersive entertainment district, it offers a more intimate and atmospheric experience where art, music, and unexpected moments really put you right into the story.
The space feels both secretive and electric with surprises waiting around every corner. You enter feeling excited about what’s to come and leave being part of the storytelling experience.
Guests are free to walk through a network of interconnected chambers and corridors rather than to spend the night on one massive dance floor. Let your curiosity lead you to the unknown where you’ll likely be met by some characters along the way who put you right into the story of the evening.
Oddyssey Noir is the after party, so after enjoying all that is Oddyssey Manor, stick around for some late-night fun on specific nights to keep the party going strong.
I recently attended the VIP opening of Oddyssey Manor and got a sneak peek of Oddyssey Noir. This experience is an immersive cocktail experience like no other. Be ready for anything during your journey, including pillow fights, a pillow fort, burlesque dancers, and being thrown right into the otherworldly story of the evening. This is an over 21 only experience. Dress the part (cocktail attire) and enjoy the experience that transforms you to another time and place from the moment you walk through the doors.
Transport Yourself To Hundreds Of Years Into The Future At Interstellar Arc
Interstellar Arc is one of the most exciting new family-friendly attractions in Las Vegas. This fully immersive VR experience is unlike anything you’ve ever experienced.
Guests suit up with VR headsets and embark on a virtual journey through space aboard the Interstellar Arc. Set 262 years in the future, the adventure brings visitors to a massive space station orbiting the distant planet Arcadia to prepare for a new life.
Featuring breathtaking visuals and motion effects that feel incredibly real, this experience transports guests through larger-than-life otherworldly landscapes while introducing engaging characters along the way. Guided by your own personal fox, this adventure will have you thinking you’re really there living it.
I’ve never done any VR experiences or games before so this was totally new territory for me. I brought my son with me who loves VR games. We were both completely in awe of the experience from start to finish. Everything felt so real that you almost forget you’re in an experience and not really living it.
Superplastic’s Dopeameme Institute For Pleasure Research Is Where You’ll Find Your ‘Happy’
Superplastic’s Dopeameme Institute for Pleasure Research is a vibrant installation that blends cutting-edge technology with surreal art and interactive storytelling to explore the idea of “pleasure” in playful and unexpected ways. Created in collaboration with Superplastic, the experience pulls guests into a colorful and mind-bending world filled with imaginative installations, offbeat experiments, and tons of Instagram-worthy moments.
Guests will step into an interactive world where they become the “test subject” in a physical adventure seeking “pleasure.” This reality-bending journey will have you laughing and having a great time with Superplastic’s viral animated universe characters while competing in fun challenges.
This is a fun experience that’s different than anything I’ve ever done. My son went with me and we both laughed the entire time. If you love doing interactive experiences, this one is a must!
Guests must be 16 or older to enter unless accompanied by an adult 18 and up, but during after hours, 9 p.m. to 12 a.m. Thursday through Saturday, the experience features added adult humor so guests must be 18 or older.
