I Visited an Interactive Las Vegas Grocery Store Where You Can't Really Buy Food
  • Area15 in Las Vegas hosts an interactive art installation called Omega Mart.
  • The grocery store is full of fake foods, abusrdist products, and secret passage ways.
  • I loved exploring the labyrinth-like maze and taking in all the art. 

Omega Mart, a giant grocery store in Las Vegas, attracted more than 1 million people in its first year of opening — but it doesn't actually sell food.

Owned by arts and entertainment company Meow Wolf, the store is an interactive — and particularly Instagrammable — labyrinth of never-ending rooms and digital art.

It can be enjoyed as a walkthrough exhibit starting at about $50 for out-of-state visitors and about $40 for Nevada residents.

Or, for $3 more, you can experience Omega Mart's mystery game by searching for clues, reading emails, and watching videos hidden inside the attraction.

There are also VIP experiences that cost between $100 and $150 a person.

I recently visited Omega Mart and spent hours getting lost in the colossal maze.

Omega Mart is located inside Las Vegas’ popular Area15 entertainment venue.

The interactive experience starts in a supermarket with aisles full of fake products like sauces, cereal, medicine, and canned soup.
