AREA15 is an experiential retail and entertainment complex located in Las Vegas, Nevada, one mile west of the Las Vegas Strip. It houses several major experiential entertainment residencies and includes sculptures and other art displays, as well as alcohol outlets and a restaurant.
AREA15 is a joint project between Fisher Brothers and Beneville Studios. Plans for the project date to 2016, and the opening was initially scheduled for December 2019. However, new ideas for the project pushed back its opening. Portions of the facility were eventually opened on September 17, 2020. Large sections of AREA15 are occupied by two feature installations: Omega Mart, and Lost Spirits.[1][2] Omega Mart is an interactive art installation that is operated by experiential art collective Meow Wolf.[3] Lost Spirits is a football field sized installation and includes a fully functional distillery housed in a dreamlike world.[4]
