Before you arrive at Omega Mart, there are 5 things you need to know!
Alright, weve been open for a minute and its been a WILD ride!
The comments and reviews have been pouring in, and while youve all been loving this crazy thing we created in Las Vegas, its become clear yall are also pretty damn confused.
So, we put our Calamari heads together and decided on the 5 most important things to know about Omega Mart before you arrive!
Its been interesting watching you all try to figure out exactly what AREA15 is, and we dont want to ruin any of the magic for you, but we should clear one thing up: Meow Wolf and AREA15 are two different things. AREA15 is an experiential and entertainment district that has several, separately-owned experiences. One of those experiences is us! Meow Wolfs Omega Mart is the anchor tenant inside of AREA15, but Meow Wolf doesnt own AREA15 or vice versa.
Looking to do a little of everything while youre here? Then be sure to check out an AREA15 Experience Pass!
If youre wondering what else there is to do around here once youre done at Omega Mart, check out everything else AREA15 has to offer.
One FAQ that keeps making it into our DMs is, I have a ticket for Omega Mart, but how do I buy a ticket for Meow Wolf?
We get it. Were a household name in Santa Fe, but as we expand our multiversal footprint, the whole world is asking, Who is a Meow Wolf? What is a Meow Wolf?
It is we! Meow Wolf is a company and we make art. In Santa Fe, our art installation is called House of Eternal Return. In Vegas, our art installation is called Omega Mart.
The point is that Meow Wolf makes the art, and the art is different in each city, but once youve secured your Meow Wolf Las Vegas ticket, youre ready to experience Omega Mart!
Seen everything there is to see in Vegas already? Then take a trip to Meow Wolfs Convergence Station in Denver, House of Eternal Return and our latest exhibition, The Real Unreal in Grapevine, Texas.
We get a lot of comments like trippy and psychedelic and thats awesome, but one thing we love to do is tell a story and Omega Mart takes immersive storytelling to the next level. Through RFID cards, performers posed as Omega Mart and Dramcorp employees, and hundreds of hours of video content, we invite you to dive into the mystery behind Omega Marts products.
If an exploratory mission sounds good to you, then be sure to grab yourself an Omega Access Card when you arrive!
Now, we are legally obligated to tell you that the Omega Access Card can add on about 2 hours to your experience so if you go that route, leave plenty of time to take in everything Omega Mart has to offer. Pick up the products. Watch a few videos. Read some emails. Ask all the questions and seek all the answers! And if the clues arent adding up, then perhaps your next best option is to ask The Game Master...
Consider yourself a super fan? Then we invite you to check out our VIP packages that now include scavenger hunts, art experiences and keepsakes!

If youre looking for what Mark G. describes as the coolest experience Ive had in my life, then all you have to do is allow yourself to lean into the weird and wildly unexpected.
#1 question, hands down: Can I buy that?
Yes, nearly everything in Omega Mart is for sale!
#2 question: How will I know whats real and whats not?
Omega Marts Underrefrigerated Dairy Aisle. Photo by Atlas MediaFirst of all, nothing is real and its all real. That being said, youll know it can be purchased because itll have a real price tag on it. Items with glitched out price tags or things that just say $. are definitely not for sale. Theyre also bolted down...not that thats stopped anyone from trying.

Sigh.
Never thought wed have to say this, but please leave the bolted down items where they are.
If you can pick it up and youre met with absolutely no resistance, youre in luck! It CAN be purchased!
Now, Omega Mart has always promised to keep their prices shocking, and based on some of your comments, that seems to hold up.
When you walk into Americas Most Exceptional Grocery Store, you expect to find prices similar to that of other stores, but when youre holding a bottle of Plausible Deniability or being gently caressed by a pack of Sweet Whispers, youre not just holding laundry detergent or toilet paper.
Youre holding someones art.
Before it landed on the shelves, it was conceptualized, sourced and created specifically for Omega Mart, and the artists behind these products deserve fair compensation for their work.
So as much as we love to joke that Omega Mart is a subsidiary of the mega corporation Dramcorp, buying the stuff on our shelves actually helps to support crazy, weird artists, which is what weve always been about.
So, thank you for shopping with us.
One thing thats been true since the beginning is that weve never wanted our art to be boring.
We wanted to create disruptive art, the kind of art that takes you out of your element...and even out of yourself!
Were not an art museum. We dont want you to just walk around and look at whats hanging on our walls. We want you to experience it. If youve been to our original location in Santa Fe, you know that were all about participants crawling, climbing, and stumbling upon hidden spaces. Secret passages and narrow corridors are kind of our thing.

Photo by Kate RussellThat said, we understand that tight spaces, steep steps, or narrow walkways may not be your thing, and thats why we always provide an alternative route, as well as elevators for convenience. Wheelchairs, scooters, and service animals are all welcome, in accordance with ADA regulations. Our restrooms are easily accessible, and gender neutral restrooms are available on the second floor.
For those with sensitivity to light and sound, doors and pathways leading to strobing/excessive flashing lights are clearly marked. Alternatively, we have several rooms for a more minimal sensory experience, as well as complimentary sensory bags available at guest services.

If you arrive and need assistance, dont hesitate to ask an Omega team member for help!
Most importantly, dont be deterred if one path is inaccessible. This may lead you to the discovery of a new route! Keep exploring!
For more info on accessibility, check out our FAQs, and if you have suggestions or feedback, wed love to hear that, too!

Summary.
In many industries the balance of power has shifted from buyers to suppliers. Companies that have gotten into a weak position need to tackle the problem strategically, the authors argue. They should consider the following actions and implement the least-risky one that is feasible for their organization.
This is the easiest approach. Companies can provide new value in several waysfor example, by serving as a gateway to new markets or reducing the suppliers risks.
Companies can consolidate their purchase orders, rethink purchase bundles, or decrease purchase volume.
This is a high-risk option, but it can transform a companys prospects. Firms have essentially two paths: They can bring in a supplier from an adjacent market or vertically integrate to become their own supplier.
As a last resort, companies can cancel current orders and future business or threaten litigation.
Whatever option firms choose, they need to clearly understand the problem, work on it across functions, and think analytically and outside the box.
