Let Omega Mart Immerse You In Its Mind-Bending Adventure

Las Vegas. If what you want isn’t here, it probably doesn’t exist.

But what about the things you didn’t know you wanted? Enter Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart. It’s not a show, or an arcade, or a museum—and yet, it is all of that and more.

(Imagine going on a scavenger hunt in another dimension… with a bar.) What we’re saying is, all these Vegas "Best Of" lists are going to have to start over because some of the coolest, most immersive things to do in Vegas didn’t exist before Omega Mart opened its doors. Don't like to gamble? Omega Mart's fake grocery store is the perfect alternative for a unique and unforgettable Vegas experience.

So, if you wanna make your next trip to Sin City really out of this world, here’s a good place to start.

‍

A playground for your inner child

Omega Mart is family friendly, open to humans of all ages—and that includes inner children.

Haven’t seen yours in a while? We can fix that.

You might find yourself in a warehouse-sized playground, with slides bigger than your house. Or going through a real-life looking glass into another world entirely.

Think of the greatest amusement park you’ve ever been to, with a Vegas-style twist. If the idea of that geeks you out, imagine what it’d do for a real kid.

Art like you’ve never seen it

We’ve spent three years figuring out how to turn an otherwise boring art world into something exhilarating and unprecedentedly gorgeous.

At Omega Mart, we’re not interested in art that just hangs on the wall for long stares—we want you to step inside it and explore!

Picture yourself in a sculpture garden that feels like the remnants of an alien planet, or diving headfirst into a surreal world where your imagination runs free. As you navigate this artistic wonderland, the Omega Mart scavenger hunt weaves the experience together, turning your visit into an interactive quest that blends art and adventure.

And that leads us to our next point…

Selfies welcome

Yeah, we may have accidentally created the most Instagrammable place in Vegas. We didn’t do it for the ‘gram, but we won’t blame you if you do.

The fact is, we’ve got spaces here that any shutterbug would have a field day in. Be Earth’s first alien landscape photographer.

Your friends might not recognize where you were, but they’ll know it wasn’t boring.

A spa for the imagination

Vegas is full of bright lights and wild nights. And don’t get us wrong: We’ve got all that on lock (and even more in our surrounding home at AREA15).

But there’s so much more to Omega Mart than a good time. Look at it as a vacation for your imagination. A spa for your creative self. Mmhmm—that’s the Omega Mart experience. It’ll change the way you see the world. Once you’ve left Earth, you’ll have no choice.

Unforgettable stories

Movies are great and all. But they’re so… flat.

That got us thinking. What if you could walk inside of a movie? Maybe you’d languish in that scene with the gorgeous desert landscape for an hour. At Omega Mart, that’s a reality.

Just like House of Eternal Return, there’s a story to unravel at Omega Mart—in fact, they may just be connected. Like a real-life choose-your-own-adventure novel, you can get wrapped up in the narrative, or just gawk at the pretty pictures—it’s totally up to you. In the process, you might alter the story itself, for you and your fellow Omega Mart patrons.

A new kind of game

In the age of VR, you might think you’ve played every game in town. Think again. Omega Mart's games are here to challenge everything you thought a game could be.

We’ve teamed up with hundreds of artists to try to create brand-new ways to have fun in our beautifully weird world. Create a musical masterpiece on our state-of-the-art double-laser harp. A game of hide and seek in the produce section may transport you to a hedge maze, that leads to… well, you’ll see.

If you can dream it—even if you can’t—you can probably do it at your local Omega Mart.

A one-of-a-kind shopping experience

I know what you’re thinking: every grocery store has mind-bending mazes and laser harps, right? But Omega Mart is far from your typical shopping experience. This isn’t your average stop for groceries—it’s an immersive, trippy adventure in the heart of Vegas that’ll leave you questioning reality.

Omega Mart’s hallowed aisles are stocked with one-of-a-kind, otherworldly products you won’t find anywhere else, from mind-bending "art-ifacts" to curious concoctions straight out of a surreal dream. With over 60 uniquely themed environments, rooms, and portals to other dimensions, this fake grocery store transforms into a psychedelic playground.

Collaborating with over 300 artists—including Beach House, Brian Eno, Amon Tobin, and more—Omega Mart is part scavenger hunt, part surrealist masterpiece, and a must-do for anyone looking for an immersive thing to do in Vegas. Just don’t get lost in the shirt racks... it happens more often than you'd think.

Location, location, location 

The inside may feel lightyears away from reality, but Omega Mart isn't in the middle of nowhere. And it's not right on top of the Bellagio, either.

Just a little over a mile off of the strip, Omega Mart is a bridge between Vegas' parallel worlds: A short trip from the action for weekenders, and blissfully out of earshot for locals.

The catch is, once you're there, your trip's just begun.

A transportive time

Sometimes, going out is about getting away from the world as you know it.

Outside of an airport, Omega Mart is the most transportive place in Vegas—and maybe the world. And, just like a surprise vacation, you really won’t know where you’re going until you’ve landed. Or, in our case, stepped into the soda section.

In other words, Omega Mart is to a grocery store what a telephone booth is to a speakeasy. And really, that’s just the tip of the iceberg.

More WTF’s than we can share here

Anti-spoiler code prevents us from giving away too much. But we could fill a book with all the surprises we’ve got in store.

The best way to tell you what you’re missing is to see for yourself. Even then, you may not believe your eyes.

A toast to your shopping adventure

Omega Mart is full of hilarious products and mind-bending mysteries, but the best-kept secret is undoubtedly the Datamosh Bar, hidden within the exhibit itself. While many Omega Mart explorers get caught up in the portals to other dimensions, only the sharpest sleuths will stumble upon this hidden gem. Once you find it, prepare for a drink menu that’s as surreal as the rest of the experience. From the psychedelic "Meowjito" to the mind-bending "Omegarita," each concoction is crafted to be as trippy and unforgettable as the art surrounding you.

Tucked away like a secret passage in one of the best Vegas speakeasies, the Datamosh Bar elevates the Omega Mart experience into a full sensory journey. Whether you’re wrapping up a successful scavenger hunt or just taking a breather from the surreal spectacle, this unique bar is the perfect way to toast your out-of-this-world adventure.

And so ends your mind-bending adventure at Omega Mart. While you may have come for the portals, scavenger hunts, and mind-bending art, you’ll leave with stories from one of the most unique and unforgettable things to do in Vegas.
