There’s a relatively new grocery store in Las Vegas called Omega Mart and it’s not your typical market. It’s an elaborate art tech installation located just off the Strip at an even bigger high-tech playground called Area 15.
I went to Omega Mart not knowing what to expect. I knew it was art and full of techy surprises, but the actual place just wowed me. Basically, the premise is that it’s a grocery store but you quickly discover hidden passageways to a world where you can spend hours exploring.
Lights, sounds, exhibits, computers, robots and more make for a unique sensory experience on the surface. But dig further and you can follow an intricate storyline that involves the grocery store and what seems to be an evil parent organization doing bad things.
“I hope people leave feeling inspired and wanting to build new worlds and environments of their own,” said Meow Wolf art director Spencer Olsen, who supervised the project.
Tickets for Omega Mart are $50, there are some discounts available for military and locals. The place gets packed, so if you want to avoid the biggest crowds, go early in the day.

SAN DIEGO – A new mural in Sherman Heights sprung up this week as a tribute to Mexican music legend Vicente Fernandez, who died Sunday in Mexico at age 81 after a series of recent health issues.
The artist, actor and film producer, known as “El Rey (King) de la Musica Ranchera,” touched the lives of many Mexican families, including muralist Paul Jimenez of Ground Floor Murals. He and partner Signe Ditona say they finished the mural of Fernandez in less than five hours.
SAN DIEGO – All residential students and student-athletes at San Diego State Unversity now will be required to get the COVID-19 booster shot, the university said Thursday.
Those students must have the shot on file with the university by Jan. 18 or else they’ll be required to submit a negative COVID test at least every seven days. The COVID-19 vaccine already was a requirement for students, faculty and staff at the university unless a medical or religious exemption was on file.
SAN DIEGO – Each morning when Dave Palet wakes up, he thinks of his son Jake. And even three years since losing him to an accidental opioid overdose, that thought is enough to move him to tears.
“I cry every day,” Palet said, seated to the right of his wife Rita, who herself feels “quite numb” to the loss.
