Favorite Memory: Experience Pass 3B

We got this Experience Pass and did 2 full (8 hour) days once. 

It was so fun - we did about 13 different experiences, plus food & beverage including:

• Asylum Arcade

• Birdly

• Brainstorm

• Dreamweaver

• Haley's Comet

• Illuminarium

• Interstellar Arc

• John Wick Experience

• Kaia

• Liftoff

• Looper

• Museum Fiasco

• Rocket Fizz

• Snack Wagon

• The Beast

• Universal Horror Unleashed

• Vortex Rover

• Wink World

We've done Omega Mart, Multiverse Depot, etc. on other visits previously too. 

Pro tip: the big ticket items like John Wick, Universal Horror Unleashed, Omega Mart, Interstellar Arc, etc. are totally worth it on their own. Lots of the "other" smaller exhibits I personally wouldn't pay $15-$40 for individually, so be sure to check out the Experience Passes and just make a day (or two) of it - if you want your money to go farther! 

You can also book them at least 2 weeks ahead for even bigger savings - check out the "Deals Warehouse" tab of this website for more info!

Area 15 does not exist. Does it? 

The Batmobile, on steroids. 

Very Mad Max. I want.

One of many portals to the infinite you'll find throughout Area 15. To infinity, and beyond, and back again, and then to infinity again, and so on!

Thank God it's not anatomically correct. Could you imagine?

Low-5.

Is this still there (Army of the Dead VR)? I literally don't know. If I have any photos of it I'll upload them further down on this page, you can be sure of that!

Madder Max 2, the Maxening.

I'm noticing a theme at Area 15. And I like it!

Be sure to use your 3rd eye and your standard peepers to remain safe when boarding the tram. 

I always appreciate seeing Vegas from different angles

I'm noticing a (Christmas) theme at Area 15, and I like it!

I think this is a new exhibit, not sure if it will be a permanent installation, but either way, glad I took a picture of it!

But it does exist. Doesn't it?

Really excellent french fries here and very reasonably priced ($6 for the regular but it's a big box of them), I highly recommend!

Asylum Bar + Arcade

Pro tip: You can get a bag of gold coins (tokens) at the bar (which make a cool keepsake), if you get the Area 15 Experience Pass - like Level 3B, for example. 

They call you an "Arcadian" at the Instellar Arc exhibit you can do at Area 15, coincidence? Not even a little bit. 

Is THIS the HARDEST Nintendo game of ALL TIME? (Shitty Youtube video title - but yes, yes Battletoads is the hardest NES game of all time. I can never get past the jet ski level personally).

Birdly

Pro tip: I'd recommend this if you're getting the Experience Pass, but $15 is pretty expensive if it's not part of the pass program. Especially because it's a short (2 minute) activity, and is pretty low on the thrill-meter. 

Brainstorm

Pro tip: I'd recommend this if you're getting the Experience Pass, I don't mind doing this one without the pass, as it's only $5 and you do receive a commemorative card after. 

I told them my least favorite sound was a Fart. Boy was that ironic. 

Area 15 stock photo since I haven't taken a photo of this up close myself yet apparently.

Great fruit flavored teas, my favorite is the Raspberry flavored Black Tea. They use real fruit, which a lot of places don't, tastes much better in my opinion!

Area 15 promotional photo here, since I haven't taken a ton of pics of my own on this one yet, check out more info & tickets here.

This thing is wicked-fun, and way faster than I expected. 

$15 for a pretty short ride, but it's unique enough I do recommend it. 

I liked that you have to crank your hand back like revving a motorcycle to go forward. 

Pro tip: I tried to smuggle my cell phone on thinking I could get a picture during the ride, zero percent chance on that - so do yourself a favor and enjoy this ride sans phone. 

Illuminarium

Pro tip: I'd recommend this if you're getting the Experience Pass, but $40 is pretty expensive if it's not part of the pass program. However, you can do 2 shows for the price of 1, so you could take up to 2 hours (1 hour per show), if you wanted. 

Welcome to Earth. #independence day

Is this the BEST planet in the UNIVERSE?? (Shitty Youtube video title)

Ok I'm convinced we did go to the moon. But only because the leaving garbage behind thing.

I'm taking a picture of you, taking a picture of me, taking a picture of you. On the moon!

Another portal to another dimension, I told you there'd be a lot of them, right?

Indiana Jones and the Area 15 Skull. Or something like that. 

Blacklight Zoltar, the rarest of all Zoltar's, undoubtedly.

What's that word, say it with me: Port......

There she is Georgie, you always call weirdly futuristic-psychedelic grocery store exhibits she, Georgie.

Pegasus, my favorite Disney horse. From my favorite Disney movie: Hercules. 

14 footfields long. Sounds like they're compensating for something. Who built this thing, Lord Farquaad?

Cryogenic sleep is the best kind of sleep.

Headset view #1

Headset view #2

Pro tip: if you keep the headset slightly loose fitting (using the dial that will be at the back of your head), the vision will be clearer. I found over-tightening caused it to be blurry, so experiment with the dial accordingly!

Headset view #3

Please keep all body parts inside the ride until it has come to a complete stop.

"OMG did we just walk in circles the whole time?" - yes, that's exactly what we did! It is pretty fun though. 

Definitely one of the more completely immersive AR/VR things I've seen. 

Pro tip: if you're photo-sensitive at all (to flashing lights, patterns, etc.) this doesn't really have that, but personally I kind of felt the same effect afterward - a little groggy, a little discombobulated, etc. so if those types of things bother you, be sure to take a break if you need to, or ask the "operators" to take your headset off for a minute, etc. 

Holy shit this one is incredible. 10/10. 

No notes, just book this, and enjoy.

Promo Video - City of Las Vegas

Our hostess had a smiley face tattoo on her middle finger, I asked if there's a story behind it, she said just a great night on Fremont Street - I asked her if it was from the $10 Tattoo Shop, said I always wondered what the quality was there, she said that's the quality you get there. I knew right away this would be a good time!

Pro-tip: the lobby bar has my favorite drinks I've ever had in Las Vegas. Going in I did not expect that, so be sure to check them out and see what you think!

Lady Luck - sweet, with a touch of citrus, perfectly balanced - as all things should be!

The Lion - like Christmas in a cup. 

Cash us at the top that Continental Switchboard, how 'bout dat?

Pro tip: They are extremely strict about cell phones past a certain point in the exhibit, so I wouldn't recommend trying to sneak any unless you're a seasoned photo sneaker, like myself. 

But seriously though best to just enjoy the experience sans phone for this one. 

Here are a couple post experience bar photos.

Yes the doors are glued shut, yes I checked. Like I said, I'm a professional.

If you enjoyed the John Wick Experience - check out the other attractions by the same production company (Egan Productions), movie set quality, immaculate attention to detail, etc. here in Las Vegas:

• Blair Witch Escape Room

• Escape IT

• Fright Dome at Circus Circus

• Saw Escape Room

Sushi Roulette Challenge - I like when restaurants have a "Vegas" element like a game or challenge like this. 

There aren't many of them, but you can check out this one, Red Bite Green Bite (Netflix Bites at MGM Grand), or the 24k Gold Burger (Sugar Factory at Planet Hollywood) for more examples!

Signature Sauce Set = literally crave-able. 

Spend the $2. 

What the weird Japanese Game Shows is on these TV's?

Sometimes we eat tiny sushi rolls, sometimes we feast. 

Sake it to me baby.

And why yes, that is a Whiskey Liquor Up hoodie, thank you for asking.

Feast.

Omega poke appetizer + Liftoff Vessel. 

Don't sleep on those Signature Sauces either!

 Say it with me this roll is called the "________ Passage".

Portal, the word is Portal.

Told you there'd be a LOT of them.

Something body parts something until the ride is at a complete stop...

Pro tip: the ride doesn't rotate 360 degrees anymore, but they don't tell you that when you're boarding, so be sure you sit where you can see The Strip, which we did not.

Luckily you can still see The Strip in selfie mode though! They do give you a lanyard to hold your phone that you wear around your neck, that can make selfie mode a bit difficult - so do yourself and favor and sit on the side where you can see The Strip when boarding!

Oh God she's back on her bullshit.

I've been know to be on bullshit of my own as well, from time to time.

It loops 5 times. I counted.

Let's do some grocery shopping!

Promo Video - Omega Mart

La'Croix beverages? She's never heard of them.

I think you can actually buy the groceries here (some of them at least). Never know when you'll need a can of Y2K Millennium Beans!

What is the True Essence of Butter & the Nature of My Desire?

What can I say, it works!

I feel like there's a joke in here somewhere

Who told you this was butter??

A really old, and really fancy onion. The 34th Generation Queen Anne Onion. 

That's what she said.

A whole new world (Aladdin), don't you dare close your eyes

This grocery store is starting to get weird. Starting.

Ok it's official.

Did we wander onto the set of a Tool music video??

One time I came home and she had completely shaved her head bald, out of nowhere. 

I thought she was drunk.

It took like 2 years to grow back.

At one point she resembled one of these.

She still brings it up to this day. 

The things you do for love.

Far out, Zoltar.

Why yes, that is a Whiskey Liquor Up hoodie, thank you for asking.

Consider yourself Fiasco'ed.

Is this place a reference to the Futurama TV show? I feel like this place is a reference to Futurama

They sell candy here that's weird. 

And candy that will light your anus on fire.

You believe in the Beast, don't you?

She's in her "Tuna Poke" era

Onion Rings - the perfect date night food. For married couples that is, you know, once you've gotten used to everything.

This is a "hand-leafed lettuce" appreciation post.

Bawwwk!

#Beast Mode

Krampus. (Seasonal)

And Kin. (Seasonal)

And whoever this guy is. (Seasonal)

Surprisingly good.

I wish this was an hour long, and Instellar Arc was 5 minutes.

That would be the right configuration!

Pro Tip:

Just don't.

If we look happy, that's because we took this picture before we entered the exhibit.

I was told there would be fun in this exhibit. I was lied to.

The liar in question.

It's this. 

It's a lot of this.

#i can't.
