Where Imagination

at Area15
Las Vegas’ immersive entertainment district offers attractions, art, dining, nightlife, and experiences unlike anywhere else.
Just minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, AREA15 is unlike any entertainment destination in the world. More than a collection of attractions, this immersive entertainment district blends interactive art, thrilling rides, award-winning experiences, dining, shopping, nightlife, and live events into one unforgettable destination.
Whether you’re traveling with family, planning a date night, celebrating with friends, or simply looking for something different, AREA15 offers experiences you won’t find anywhere else. From the surreal worlds of Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart to immersive adventures, unique eateries, and ever-changing entertainment, every visit can be completely different. AREA15 has welcomed more than 17 million visitors since opening and continues expanding with exciting new attractions in Zone 2.
Pro Tip:
Visit during the late afternoon and stay into the evening. You'll enjoy daytime attractions before the district transforms after sunset with dramatic lighting, live entertainment, and an entirely different atmosphere.

Explore
More Than
More One Attraction
One of the biggest mistakes visitors make is planning for just one attraction.
While many guests visit for experiences like Museum of Ice Cream, Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, or Universal Horror Unleashed, AREA15 is designed to be explored. Wander through interactive art installations, enjoy a drink at one of the bars, challenge friends to games, browse unique retailers, or discover immersive attractions throughout the district. New additions—including flagship attractions, restaurants, and entertainment venues—continue making AREA15 one of Las Vegas’ fastest-growing destinations.
Pro Tip:
Allow at least 4–6 hours if you're planning multiple attractions. Purchasing bundled Experience Passes can also provide better value if you intend to visit several experiences in one trip.

Take the Plunge
On Eye Dropper
Take your Las Vegas adventure to new heights—and experience the city’s newest psychedelic thrill ride.
Now open in AREA15’s expanding Zone 2, Eye Dropper delivers one of Las Vegas’ newest adrenaline rushes.
Standing nearly 200 feet tall, this psychedelic thrill ride combines dramatic launches, freefalls, immersive lighting, cinematic sound design, and an LED “digital eye” visible across Las Vegas. Riders experience Space Shot launches, Turbo Drop freefalls or both, reaching speeds of up to 36 mph while alternating between intense G-forces and moments of weightlessness.
Eye Dropper joins an impressive lineup of new Zone 2 additions, including Museum of Ice Cream, Universal Horror Unleashed, Dolls Kill, Saint Honoré Doughnuts & Beignets, Chilango’s Tacos, and several exciting attractions still to come.
"The most memorable journeys aren't measured in miles—they're measured by the moments that leave you wondering what you'll discover next."
What Awaits Inside
Step beyond the ordinary and into one of Las Vegas’ most imaginative entertainment districts.
AREA15 is more than a single attraction—it’s an immersive entertainment district designed to be explored. From interactive art installations and mind-bending experiences to thrilling rides, unique dining, shopping, nightlife, and live events, every visit offers something new to discover.
Guests can step into surreal worlds at Meow Wolf’s Omega Mart, experience cinematic adventures, challenge friends to interactive games, enjoy elevated dining and cocktails, browse distinctive retailers, and discover ever-evolving attractions throughout the district. With new experiences continuing to open across Zone 2, AREA15 rewards curiosity and invites visitors to spend hours exploring everything this one-of-a-kind destination has to offer.
Why AREA15 Belongs on Your Itinerary
More than an attraction, i’s an entire district designed for exploration.
AREA15 has redefined what entertainment can be in Las Vegas by bringing together immersive attractions, interactive art, award-winning experiences, dining, nightlife, shopping, and live events within one walkable destination. Rather than planning your day around a single activity, visitors can create an itinerary filled with adventure, discovery, and unexpected moments around every corner.
The district continues to evolve with the expansion of Zone 2, welcoming exciting new additions like Eye Dropper, Museum of Ice Cream, Universal Horror Unleashed, Dolls Kill, and several new restaurants and attractions, with even more experiences still on the way. Whether you’re visiting with family, planning a date night, celebrating with friends, or looking for something beyond the traditional Las Vegas Strip experience, AREA15 continues to offer new reasons to return again and again.
Planning Your Visit
AREA15 is located just minutes west of the Las Vegas Strip and offers free general admission to the district, with individual tickets or bundled Experience Passes available for many attractions. While some guests stop in for a single experience, we recommend setting aside at least half a day to fully enjoy everything the district has to offer.
For the best experience, arrive in the late afternoon, explore during daylight, enjoy dinner on-site, and stay after sunset when the district comes alive with spectacular lighting, immersive entertainment, and an entirely different atmosphere.

As the district continues to expand, it’s becoming one of the city’s most exciting places to experience what’s next in entertainment.
