I just returned from CES 2026 (the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas), and what a non-stop, whirlwind of a week it was! Much was familiar, but much has changed. I have the inside scoop on many products and services to share with you over the coming weeks and months. But first, let’s take a look at something I did to unwind on my last full day in Las Vegas.

Located in AREA15, Meow Wolf Las Vegas’ **Omega Mart** is much, much different than any grocery store. This is a self-guided, immersive, mind-blowing, interactive art experience. Your visit to Omega Mart will begin in what appears, at first glance, to be a grocery store—but it is a grocery store unlike any other.

Your visit can take as long or as little as you’d like. Exploring that store is just the beginning, as my photos show. There is so much to do there that on my first visit, I stayed for the entire day. People were interacting at workstations with computers, flipping through books on shelves, reading mysterious notes on desks, and watching strange videos. I suspect you could spend days there and still not experience everything. This place is WONDERFUL!

### How I Decided to Revisit Omega Mart

My revisit to Omega Mart is an interesting side story in itself. Since parking at resort properties on the Las Vegas Strip has become very expensive (do you remember when it used to be free?), I try to take advantage of the free parking benefit of the MGM Mastercard at MGM hotels on the Strip.

Because some stretches of the Strip do not yet have an MGM hotel, I often park at the closest MGM property and walk. Doing that is what ultimately led me to revisit Omega Mart.

I parked for free at MGM’s Bellagio and set out to walk to The Venetian. Along the way, I passed a group of entertainers wearing Omega Mart logos on their clothing. They were distributing hand flyers offering 25% off on General Admission tickets to Omega Mart.

To entertain me, they asked me to download the Omega Mart app onto my iPhone, which, in conjunction with my iPhone’s camera, showed me cool things. During our conversation, I mentioned I was a member of the press and had extensively covered Omega Mart a few years earlier, complete with a large photo spread.

Since I had my iPhone out and open, I showed them the column I had written. Right then and there, I decided revisiting Omega Mart would be a fun thing to do on Saturday, my last full day in Las Vegas.

I also asked if they could arrange for me to have permission to take some additional photos with my professional camera.

### Omega Mart Today

Omega Mart was and still is extremely popular. While there are subtle differences from when I first experienced it a few years ago, thankfully it remains as wonderful and spectacular as ever.

The biggest changes I noticed on this visit were the additions to AREA15. This venue has evolved into a major entertainment destination, with multiple new buildings and attractions:

– **Universal Horror Unleashed** — Billed as “Universal’s Year-Round Horror Spectacle,” featuring four haunted houses.
– **Illuminarium** — Described as a sensory experience like no other.
– **John Wick Experience** — Where “your bets have real consequences.”

Multiple return visits are definitely in my future!
