“My son has wanted to go here for years. So on this trip to Vegas I made sure we made it. We stopped in on a Wednesday afternoon in early June. Preordered tickets only for $113. No line to get in through the security checkpoint. We spent a good hour plus wondering around this crazy grocery store. I recommend it at least once for almost anyone who is able to walk and climb. Pretty incredible...”

“Visiting town for a birthday weekend and we of course had to check out Area15 to specifically visit Meow Wolf. Area15 itself is a giant warehouse filled with all sorts of different vendors, offering different services and products. I would say Meow Wolf is the most famous, but they also have a lot of others to choose from that offer VR, clothing, physical rides, ax throwing, and many other things. There is a giant free parking lot attached right out front …”

“🐦‍⬛🍸🖤 An afternoon immersed in the dark and wonderfully twisted world of Edgar Allan Poe — haunting stories, candlelight, cocktails, and just the right amount of creepy. 💀📖 The atmosphere was EVERYTHING. The performances were fantastic, and sipping Poe-inspired cocktails while listening to his tales made it even better. A little dark. A little dramatic. Completely our kind of afternoon. 🖤 Once upon a midnight dreary…* 🐦‍⬛”
