    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
    Robert M.

    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.

    This review is for the Arte Museum in Las Vegas. I have…read moremixed emotions about this review because it was an interesting concept and had some enjoyable features, but as I left I felt it fell flat overall. Here it goes: This is not easy to find - check prior to heading over to ensure you know where you are going. The price is not cheap for the small size of the Museum. If you add a taxi/UBER/LYFT to get there it may be too pricy for the end product. It is your money - you decide. Once inside after checking in, there are several rooms you enter in a self-guided manner. The flow of the walking is ONE direction. Therefore, if you felt like you wanted to see something again, you would be going against traffic. If you have issues with vertigo or balance, this is perhaps not the Museum for you. There is lots of glass and things moving against tiles and glass and we found ourselves stopping to catch our balance a couple of times. In some rooms, prior to entering, although there are signs up saying "do not block doorway" everyone did trying to get pictures or videos making it hard to enter. There were not any staff inside the Museum directing people accordingly. Also, some of the guests were actually sitting on the floor to take videos of themselves as if they were sitting in water - this only created a road block for those who were trying to move on. Each room is unique and some are more "active" and larger in size than others. There is one area where you can color a page, scan it in, and it will become part of the animation. We waited 10 minutes for a seat to participate and none became available, so we left that area disappointed. The cafe, as other reviewers have noted, was a disappointment. They showcase it on their website as something very much different than it is. The man working the cafe counter the day we were there evidentially did not enjoy his job. I don't know why he stays if he is that unhappy. The cafe indicates: A feast of live garnish expressed with media art on attractive drink and dessert menus. I guess we missed this part! LOL! The latte we were served was about 1/3 of a cup - if we would have poured it out into a measuring cup. For $7 that is not worth it - pass on that folks. There is a sign on the cafe table indicating you can use it (after you have purchased items there) for 10 minutes. And they mean it!! A very small bottle of what they call "rainwater" was $5.00. Who in the world would buy that - but we saw people with it. Maybe they got it for a souvenir? Speaking of the souvenir shop: It was unique - there were many items priced under $10 or $15. So, if you really wanted something, you could find something at a reasonable price. I would check out the videos people have posted on YouTube to decide if this is worth the investment for yourself. We were in and out in an hour to give you an idea of how much you are spending for an hour of your time.

Growing up in Las Vegas, it has been amazing watching Ghost Adventures shine a spotlight on this city and introduce people around the world to the incredible history, stories, and fascinating individuals connected to the paranormal. Vegas is so much more than the Strip, and places like this really showcase the mysterious and extraordinary side of the city. Walking into the Haunted Museum, the excitement immediately took over--but once I was inside, I was genuinely blown away. Seeing so many incredible and infamous artifacts up close was surreal, especially knowing the stories and history behind them. There is so much to take in, and you can truly feel the atmosphere as you walk through the different rooms. I also want to give a huge shoutout to the staff! Everyone I encountered was welcoming, friendly, and made the experience even better. After exploring the museum, I had to stop by the gift shop, where I picked up some of their awesome rosaries. They make such a cool keepsake from the experience. For a longtime fan, this was definitely a bucket-list experience. Whether you've been following the show for years or you're simply fascinated by the paranormal, history, and the unexplained, I absolutely recommend visiting Zak Bagans' Haunted Museum when you're in Las Vegas. A must-visit for any paranormal fan! Las Vegas wouldn't be the same without the fascinating stories and experiences that make it so unique.

They take a dollar from you when they ask you if you would be willing to be tribute in one of the first rooms for a fortune reading. For the price that this is I think it is pretty insane at how much of a money grab they continued to be There is a ton of stuff to look at and sometimes I wish there was a little bit more time without the tour guide. But the tour is super long as it is and everyone that ended up buying the VIP said that it was not worth it. If you are sensitive to smell, I will have to warn you that the rooms are heavily perfumed. We didn't do the maze because apparently the clown was on lunch break. They should've given some of our money back because we didn't get the full experience. All in all, thé capitalize on spirits and glorify serial killers. Kinda weird. I am glad I did it once but will not be coming back. Candy man, the security guard was awesome though.

She went ahead and bought tickets on line for the Mob Museum. We chose to go on a Tuesday, the fewer people the better for us. Parking was $8.

The layout was very well done starting on the top/3rd floor with beginning of the the crooks and then the town. Each floor has its own notoriety in the time frame/ era. The displays are informative, a lot of reading. Tour guide headsets are available too, we found the docents were very knowledgable. I asked them if they knew where the term "86ed" came from? There are quit a few "actual items", the St Valentines Day Wall...some Tommy sub-machine guns, and other bits and bob's of stuff. I didn't see any wax figurines of the bad guys for photo op's. They did take Pic's in a Line Up setting $15-$35 depending. No actual cars or vehicles, I like the tactile stuff. I guess Bonnie & Clyde don't qualify. Certainly the Mob Hall is a fun, once is enough venue to see. We made sure to stop at the speak easy in the basement.
