PLAY

Walking inside the Neon Museum is like being transported back into history with its incredible memorabilia collection from Vegas' yesteryear. You'll find original signs from casinos that are no more, providing a glimpse into the city's illustrious past. Allow an hour to walk through the museum and another 10 minutes to explore the gift shop.

Omega Mart might seem just another grocery store, but look closer and you'll notice products that Walmart would never sell. Frosted hay, tattooed chicken pieces, gummy pickles — the shelves bulge with weird and wonderful items that look like they come from another planet. This immerse art installation is the brainchild of art company Meow Wolf, and it's the most fun supermarket you'll ever visit.
