Visit Las Vegas: Meow Wolf's Omega Mart

Our first Meow Wolf experience was in Grapevine, Texas, and my kids wanted to go Omega Mart in Las Vegas, so we experienced Meow Wolf for the second time.  Meow Wolf is located in Area15, and we bought our tickets directly through Meow Wolf (you can buy a ticket package through Area15 as well).

I'm sure many of you have seen the numerous social media and blog posts about this supermarket with quirky merchandise (that you can really buy) and hidden passages into the world of Dramcorp and the mysteries behind Dramcorp's owner.

We didn't really do much in trying to figure out the mysteries.  We were mostly interested in all the cool and fun portals.

There were tunnels to crawl through, ropes to climb up, secret entryways, and more throughout Omega Mart.  

It's easy to Google search the portals so you don't miss any, and if you can't find any, the employees will direct you. 

The spaces are trippy, kaleidoscopic, and psychedelic.  

The store part of the experience is fun to peruse through too.  All the objects are just so interesting!  

If you had the time or you have a Portal Pass (unlimited admissions to all five Meow Wolf locations), you could spend more time poring over the infinite details surrounding Dramcorp.  There were books, computer files, videos, telephone connections, and so much more that gave insight into Dramcorp.  

IMO, it was way too much to absorb in one visit, which is probably the point of Meow Wolf - to get you to go back to discover things you overlooked on previous visits.

There is a hidden speakeasy (it wasn't open at the time we visited) and ways you can elevate your experience (for a fee).

It's definitely a fun (yet overstimulating), imaginative experience.

Visit Las Vegas: Play Playground

One of the first suggestions one of my kids gave for our trip to Las Vegas was Play Playground at the Luxor, which is an amusement venue for kids of all ages (after 7pm only 21+ are allowed as there is a bar on site).  There are 20 different activities that you can play with a Play Pass, as well as a few activities that don't cost a thing. 

We bought a Family Pass, which is good for 4 people (2 must be children under 18), and added on another person, which was cheaper than buying 5 individual tickets.  Each pass came with 195 credits (games are typically 15 credits each, and you do have the opportunity to reload your pass with more credits for a fee).  

You need to sign a waiver in order to get your actual pass, which you can attach to the lanyard you're given when you check in.   You swipe at the various game stations to play, and you rack up points with most activities.

Games included:

Poker Parkour (make it across a beam without getting knocked off)  

Bulls Eye (put on a Velcro suit and jump onto a target)

Word Up (see how many words you can make from random letters)

Frolic (memory game where you step on squares)

 Perfect Popper (match shapes onto a board)

Move It (follow commands)

Rolla Derby

If you need to sit down and rest, there are plenty of seats where you can also play some table top games (for free). 

Some of the other free activities included:

Bounce House

"Lite Brite" Board

Balloon Room

The website states it takes an average of 90 minutes to go through all the activities, but we spent over 2 hours there.  Play Playground was a lot of fun for the entire family!
