They say what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. But what if that owes not to your debauchery, but to the fact that you can’t quite put your experience into words?<\/p>\n

That adage has always been more of a verbal hall pass for bad decisions, but now it’s being redefined by AREA15<\/a>, the world’s most immersive adult playground.<\/p>\n

Vegas is where wallets come to weep\u2014but for what purpose? To be a sardine in a kitschy nightclub and hear three different DJs butcher Daft Punk? To experience the thrill of a dealer crushing your soul with a backdoor blackjack?<\/p>\n

AREA15, however, is the ultra-rare Vegas house that doesn’t always win. Prestige ranks low on its list of priorities\u2014though they have plenty of it\u2014and pales in comparison to their selfless determination to cultivate an unforgettable experience.<\/p>\n

“With so much overstimulation around the Internet, you lose yourself in the present moment. I think AREA15\u2014from my perspective\u2014brings people into the present moment through immersion,” Noah Kessler, AREA15’s Head of Entertainment, told EDM.com<\/em>. “You’re here, and you’re here now. You forget about everything else you’re bombarded with all day, every day. And you can have a present moment to really enjoy what life is.”<\/p>\n

The sensorial experience began as soon as we walked in, the phantasmagoric room opening up before our eyes. Perhaps most striking is the “Oddwood,” a bar situated under a giant, artificial Japanese maple tree adorned with thousands of pulsing LED lights.<\/p>\n

Sin City has always been a butterfly effect of deception, and the word “immersive” is its latest red herring. After the pandemic-era explosion of livestreaming, the term was plugged ad nauseam by the entertainment industry’s many silver-tongued puppeteers. For that reason, their strings have since frayed and consumers are seeing through the makeup of their marionettes.<\/p>\n

The Omega Mart, which took three years to build, is the epitome of immersive. There exists no experience that stacks up to this inconceivable installation, the brainchild of the unrivaled Meow Wolf<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The anchor tenant of AREA15, Omega Mart looks like an ordinary grocery store\u2014but this is Meow Wolf we’re talking about here. Their tagline says it all: “You have no idea what’s in-store!”<\/p>\n

Vegan Goat Pus, Aspirational Carrots, Mammoth Chunks, Leprechaun Kidneys and a Canned Romantic Dinner are just a few of the bizarre items you’ll find, and the level of detail on each is astounding. And nearly everything is actually for sale.<\/p>\n

It gets much, much weirder. Hidden “portals” in the grocery store lead to its mind-bending underbelly, a giant labyrinth of trippy interactive art.<\/p>\n

Here, time becomes irrelevant and you find yourself entangled in an iridescent matrix. There is a palpitating web of surrealist art behind every door.<\/p>\n

Meow Wolf has embedded a serpentine storyverse in the Omega Mart, inviting you down the rabbit hole to uncover the secrets hidden by its fictitious parent corporation. That’s where the immersion comes in. We engaged with many of the installations, like when we encountered a poster for a missing woman and entered a nearby phone booth with a list of numbers on its interior wall. Calling those numbers led to eerie voicemails with clues about her disappearance.<\/p>\n

That all merely scratches the surface. We could’ve easily spent hours in the Omega Mart.<\/p>\n
