    Museum Fiasco was really really cool. It was simple but we definitely enjoyed our time in there. It's basically one huge room and you're given glasses at the start which gives hallucigenic effects! Sometimes you see double, sometimes you see the transparency through people. It's very trippy. If you also want some cool pictures, put your phone lense against the inside of the glasses!

    With the "glasses" - Pay the $2

    I love contemporary art. I love electronic music and EDM. Bring them together in a totally immersive, free roam space of LED, fog and a wall of sound in an interpretative installation where the viewers themselves are living participants and boom! Pure brilliance. It's loud. Feeling the music is part of the experience. Wander the space. Watch people shooting and posting vids seemingly missing the live experience. Join in with those dancing or sway with the loaded or drunk laughing at nothing in particular. Those sitting on the floor memorized or storming out bored and saying they wasted their $18. It all adds to the energy of the installation and keeps it ever evolving. Stunning if you let yourself become a part of it It is worth the cost and an hour of your time. Experiences vary in length and re-entry is permitted as you explore the rest of Area15.

    A cool experience if you not sensitive to strobe lights and lights constantly changing. The lights changed in rhythm to the music that they have playing and you can feel it under your feet. It felt like a Matrix experience, lol. I expected a bit more. Its one big room with pillars the pillars have lights on them. There's wall-to-wall mirrors so that the room looks enormous. Once your in there for about 5 min your pretty much done. They do allow you to renter as many times as you like on the same day of ticket purchase.

    On Tuesday the 28th my boyfriend and I decided to visit since it was included with the Starry Light Art Bundle. "Cluster" is an immersive audiovisual which was created by Playmodes Studio to show the relationships between space, time and perception. We had a blast dancing to the bright flashing lights that played along with the music, but it was short lived since unfortunately the bright flashing lights also gave us a headache. We would return to try more experiences at Area 15!

    You can take some pretty cool shots in here.

    I'm a big fan of lights. I like blinking lights, red lights, blue lights.....just a lot of different lights in general, so when we walked into the Museum Fiasco, it was a little bit of an overwhelming experience in a good way. This experience located inside of Area 15 is probably the least complex and may even be the least worth it. Basically, you walk into an empty room that's filled with smoke and mirrors while lights are flashing all around you. The room itself is a good size and you are given a pair of glasses that make lights look like heart. Each "show" is about 45 minutes to an hour and you are allowed to come back as much as you want throughout the day to see more of it. I ended up coming in here twice and at first I didn't even realize it was something different, but the colours were a bit different and the song was as well. My first time walking into the room I thought it was pretty awesome, and don't get me wrong, it's a cool thing to see and experience, but when I came back the second time it was more or less the exact same thing, and is probably not worth the $18 admission for most people. Overall, Museum Fiasco was a cool enough experience for a one time thing. The lights were cool and the music and smoke made the whole experience feel like something different, but at the end of the day, this experience just isn't worth the $18 being charged compared to the other experiences at Area 15.

    Inside the Museum

    Tucked into the corner of the second floor of Area15, Museum Fiasco wasn't on our to do list, but we found it and decided to check it out. We weren't sure what to expect from an immersive light and music experience. The bass-heavy music is timed to the light displays that come from the pillars and walls. The room has a smoky haze that adds to the experience. You also wear a set of paper 3d glasses that enhance the lighting effects. We were told the museum has three different "shows" that each run for an hour. While the experience was interesting, I don't think we would go back for the three different shows. I think we were in the presentation area for about 15 minutes. This was fun to experience one time. For some people, the cost may be more than they would be willing to pay. Also, do NOT go in here if you are affected by strobing light effects. That's pretty much all the lights do in here. While we probably wouldn't go back, it's worth the cost of admission.

    Got the Fiasco Cluster cocktail experience - the drink was absolutely delicious! After the drink you walk through Museum Fiasco - it's less of a museum and more of a mirror/light show. It was really cool though, stayed for the entire 15 min set and the music experience was cool as well. They change the music/lights every hour so you're invited to stay around Area15 and then come back but I didn't have time to stay but what I saw was fun and I'll definitely recommend it to other friends to check out.

It happened to fall under the same weekend as the BTS world tour so there were a lot of BTS related artwork when we went. We got tickets online for admission at around 6:00 pm. Once we got inside there was a restroom available at the start. The staff gave us a little flyer that had a list of the artwork for us to reference. The artwork itself has a lot of similar concepts as to many TeamLabs that I've been to in Japan. Near the end was where much of the BTS artwork was at. There was also a specific room that was playing a few songs from their album at the time. This was one of my favorite rooms as I found a few songs that I liked; noteworthy that I did not listen to their album at all before coming here. Close to the end, there was also a cafe. For the ticket type we purchased, this was included in the experience. There were non-caffeinated options so that was nice. The strawberry drink was on the sweeter side. There were some light effects associated with the drinks; unfortunately they forgot to turn it on right away and it was also off center. There's also a neat little gift shop at the end. There was a lot of artwork related items and even BTS items at the time. I found a deck of cards with the artwork on it and knew I needed to grab one for a friend. American Express was accepted here. Overall, this was a really fun date experience. It took us roughly an hour to experience everything at a slower pace. I am convinced to explore the other Arte Museum locations

The staff were friendly and helpful, and we even spent extra time exploring the exhibits because there was so much to take in. Overall it was a fun, educational outing, and we definitely recommend it if you're looking for something a little different to do in Las Vegas. A great mix of science, history, and fascinating facts that left us all talking about what we learned long after we left!
