How many things have you seen today that are truly creative and original? We’ll wait.<\/p>\n

Well, the wait is over. You’re about to get an eyeful of Omega Mart, a new entertainment destination at Area 15 in Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

Omega Mart opens Feb. 18, 2021, and we can pretty much guarantee you’ve never heard, or imagined, anything like it.<\/p>\n

Welcome to the twisted reality of Omega Mart Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Omega Mart is described as an “interactive, mind-bending art experience.” From what we’ve seen, that’s sort of an understatement.<\/p>\n

At Omega Mart, “Participants explore an extraordinary supermarket that bursts into surreal worlds and unexpected landscapes.”<\/p>\n

Normally, we’d cringe. Instead, we’re intrigued.<\/p>\n

That’s because this place is so weird, it doesn’t matter how it’s described, there’s creative genius at work and we can’t wait to see what Omega Mart has in store. Literally.<\/p>\n

Here’s the mesmerizing “deepfake” video for Omega Mart, hosted by “Willie Nelson,” sorta.<\/p>\n

https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=h6K9CnywVMA
\nWe just went from intrigued to enthralled.<\/p>\n

There’s so much going on here, the human brain can’t really process it all.<\/p>\n

It’s hilarious and ballsy and strange and inventive. It’s reality turned on its head. It’s familiar and absolutely foreign. It’s inspired. It’s unnerving. It’s bent.<\/p>\n

Mostly, it’s fun as hell.<\/p>\n

\"Omega
Why do you always have to “understand” things? You aren’t your grandpa.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Omega Mart springs from the demented geniuses at art collective Meow Wolf, based in Santa Fe, New Mexico.<\/p>\n

Here’s the official Omega Mart Web site<\/a>, teeming with WTF.<\/p>\n

We trust not everyone’s going to be onboard for this level of weird, but the attraction’s twisted sensibility is guaranteed to create a lot of buzz while helping visitors seek out a venue with a challenging location.<\/p>\n

\"Omega
Meat has always been a treat in Las Vegas.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Area 15<\/a> is self-described as an “immersive entertainment and events complex,” and sits about a mile west of the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

Area 15 is sort of a mall, but more fun.<\/p>\n

First and foremost, Area 15 has an awesome bar, Oddwood, from Ryan Doherty, the guy behind downtown’s Park on Fremont, Discopussy and Lucky Day lounge on Fremont Street.<\/p>\n

Area 15’s line-up also includes a flight simulator, zip-lining, virtual reality, art in a variety of edgy forms, an interactive museum called Museum Fiasco, axe-throwing, a freaky video arcade and a distillery.<\/p>\n

We expect Omega Mart will help put Area 15 on the map as a must-visit Las Vegas destination.<\/p>\n

If you’re still baffled by what Omega Mart actually is, the folks at Meow Wolf are doing their best to explain it<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It’s described as a “playground for your inner child,” it’s selfie and family-friendly, “a spa for the imagination” and “a one-of-a-kind shopping experience.”<\/p>\n

Meow Wolf also says, “Think of the greatest amusement park you’ve ever been to, with a Vegas-style twist.”<\/p>\n

Given what we’ve seen so far, we’re adding Omega Mart to our short list of most-anticipated Las Vegas openings of 2021, which is saying something because there’s no gambling. Hey, nobody’s perfect.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
