(5/5) The Museum of…read moreIllusions was one of our favorite attractions in Las Vegas! It was so much fun for both the kids and adults. Every room had something unique, and we found ourselves laughing, taking tons of photos, and trying to figure out all the mind-bending illusions. The staff was also friendly and even helped us take some of the best illusion pictures. Admission: Tickets are around $40-45 for adults and $33-38 for children (ages 5-12) when purchased online. Kids 4 and under are free. Hours: Open daily from 10:00 AM to 12:00 AM, so it's easy to fit into your schedule. Parking: We found the easiest place to park was the Aria self-parking garage, with an easy indoor walk to the museum. You can also park at the Cosmopolitan or 63 CityCenter valet, but all charge for parking. Nevada residents may receive free or discounted parking at some garages. Best Ages: I'd recommend it for ages 5 and up. Younger kids can still enjoy parts of it, but older children, teens, and adults really appreciate the illusions and interactive exhibits. Tips: * Plan to spend 45-90 minutes exploring. (Museum of Illusions Las Vegas) * Wear comfortable shoes since you'll be standing and walking through each exhibit. * Take your time--many illusions look even better through your phone camera than in person! * Let the staff help you pose for the illusion photos--they know the perfect angles. * Go earlier in the day if you want fewer crowds and more time for photos. If you're looking for a unique indoor activity on the Strip, this is absolutely worth it. We had an amazing time and would definitely come back!

After dinner, we were trying to decide what to do next and ended up coming here around 8 p.m. It…read morewas a last-minute decision, so we didn't buy tickets ahead of time. Luckily, it wasn't busy, which was perfect. The museum isn't huge, but there are plenty of interactive exhibits and photo spots. Some of the illusions made us wonder how they worked, while others were just fun. We spent quite a bit of time taking pictures and trying out all the different exhibits. What I liked most was that it gave us something fun to do together. Instead of just walking through and looking at displays, we were actually part of the experience. We ended up with plenty of funny pictures and great memories. If you're looking for a fun activity on the Strip with your family or a group of friends, this is definitely worth checking out. We're glad we decided to stop by.

Watching her with other customers, some of them needing extra help with things, was so reminiscent of times when people really mattered to businesses. Security, or maybe just helpers (?) have the patience of a saint. I got lost twice, and they helped me find my way. Granted one guy told me to just wait in the gift shop because everyone ends up there eventually. Well, yeah, after they're done which takes hours if you're into it. There's secret rooms, secret passageways, inside jokes, a treasure hunt type thing where you get your card scanned at each stop, and gift shops. The MeowWolf stuffie we bought was $30, but I don't think you'll find it anywhere else. Little fidget thing, like a Rubics Cube but more..... not cube? was $30. Even after it was solved it's fun to mess up and try again. The entry gift shop has all kinds of funny products, and some food that if you move has hidden things to see. It was fun. You can get your hand stamped to go to the food places. Prices are INSANE. No really. Trust me on this one. There is a place inside the area, but they had like three things. One is macaroni and cheese. lol. Very random. If you have kids expect them to be excited, have a fantastic time, but they'll be ready to leave long before it feels like the entry fee is worth it. There are rooms with flashing lights/seizure warnings, and a couple that made me feel a little dizzy. If you follow the loose story there's a computer to get your card stamped. Took someone in another group to catch it for us. Parking lot is large, locals park free. When we were there there wasn't even a setup to charge anyone to park, but I don't know if that changes. Our maps was wonky, but I'm seriously directionally challenged so maybe it was me. All in all I'm glad we went.

Meow Wolf's Omega Mart is an immersive experience located inside AREA15. There are multiple…read morelocations throughout the country with this one in Vegas. If you're not a Nevada resident you have to pay $7 for parking. There are a variety of experiences including but not limited to axe throwing, arcade, laser tag, and golf. You can bundle different experiences together when you arrive which could save some money. We just went to the Omega Mart which was $60 per person. Just note that the earliest you can come before your scheduled time is one hour. You first start in a "grocery store" and there are secret entrances to the real experience. It feels like a mix of Stranger Things, outer space, and mad scientist lab. It was mostly exploring and touching stuff; it was a lot of sensory overload with lights everywhere. I read beforehand that it was recommended to get a boop card for $3.25 but we were told by the worker that it was "mostly reading" so we ended up not getting it. Along with that there was also a speakeasy behind the grocery store serving alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. We ordered the meowjito ($17) and happle juice ($17) which were the two most popular cocktails and were good. It was estimated to take about 1.5 hours to explore everything but we only spend about 30-40 minutes. I'd recommend coming earlier because once it's busy the experience ends up being mostly just walking behind people.

My wife and kids were next in line and were about to get on when one of the employees went around asking people to wait until 9pm when the fireworks would be going off. My kids were getting restless and didn't care to wait so they decided to go on anyway. The ride is supposed to last for 10 mins but they were only at the top for only 2-3 mins. The guy on the ride felt bad and told my wife and kids they could stay on since they were only on it for a couple mins but the lady who was working the line and operating the ride ushered them off as quick as she could. When my wife asked for an explanation why their ride was cut short, she said they promised a bunch of people they would get to go on and see the fireworks and that they wouldn't fit. She also said she spoke to her in a very condescending way. The rest of the main experience again in the main building was pretty awesome. Arcade was great, VR attractions were fun. This last interaction was just a really bad way to end the night.

I went to the website and saw that they had a free day ( first Sat of the month) This museum was built in 2002 and is like a large gallery named for the solo artist Rita Deanin Abbey. What a versatile talented artist. She covers a multiple of mediums from sculpture, fiber glass, resin, paint and vivid colors to express herself. The space is modern, clean and the workers are very knowledgeable about Rita's work. We were told the museum is also used as an event space hosting weddings, bar mitzvah and other social events. It snuggled in a residential area so use your gps. Definetly worth a look to see her gorgeous display of art. An hour or so is the time needed to explore this museum.

The museum, which opened in 2022, honors Rita Deanin Abbey and presents a large selection of her art. Rita was an art professor at UNLV for over 20 years before retiring and devoted all her time to create art. On this property, it initially contained her home, art studio and sculpture garden before Rita and her husband built the 10,500 sq ft museum. Rita is known for her abstract expressionism, figures, landscapes, and non-objective subject matter that is expressed through paintings, drawings, prints, sculptures, porcelain enamel fired on steel, stained glass and computer art. A docent gave us a tour of facility and sculpture garden. But we were the only ones in the museum so we able to enjoy the peacefulness and admire and be mesmerized by the artwork. If you enjoy art, a visit to this fabulous museum is a must visit if you're visiting Vegas.

What an experience!…read more Went into this with very little exposure and I recommend you do the same if possible! As we entered, we were greeted warmly by the employee and checked in per our reservation (also highly recommended). After a quick safety video, we embarked on our 7 different installation journey. We absolutely loved how unique each room was! The level of immersion kept catching us by surprise. As we traversed and thought a specific installation was our favorite, we quickly had to change up our minds until deciding every installation was equally unique and in a level of its own. The worker(s) throughout the Museum were all so helpful, positive and caring. Definitely helped bring the whole experience together. This one is going on my must visit list for when in Vegas. Especially during the seasonal adjustments to the art!

We got the VIP experience which came with a little bag of items. Not worth it! Just get a regular ticket. Customer service was friendly, professional, and organized. If you're looking for an outing outside the strip, this works. Fun for couples, families, and solo explorers. Plenty of parking There is a gift shop with fun items to purchase at the end .

I do have to make a bigger effort to visit the strip more often. Great job to everybody who works on putting these beautiful displays together.

It's at the lobby if you go through the main entrance and keep going straight. The sculptures change often but when we visited there were large animals like lions, elephants, monkeys, and flamingos. Other types of displays include floral displays and light effects. We went in the middle of the day so it was as packed as it got. Because it's open 24/7 you'll find fewer crowds early in the morning or late at night. It was too crowded so we only spent a couple minutes here taking some pictures.

If you hear a voice within you say 'you cannot paint,' then by all means paint, and that voice will be silenced." Vincent Van Gogh Van Gogh painted as a way to make his inner soul happy and shine.

They have given Van Gogh a chance to shine . Now I've been questioned on the value of this particular experience. For someone who doesn't put a value on an event, price is not an object. For the main purpose of attendance to this event was for my daughter. She has been wanting to go here and price an object for her; let's just say, "it's going to make her happy, it's happening." Sometimes my young daughter is plagued by troubles of the heart from the past. She can relate some of the pain of her childhood to Van Gogh perhaps .
