Illuminarium Las Vegas

I had a great time at this place with my family. It’s very interactive, absolutely beautiful, and filled with meaningful purpose. We enjoyed it so much that we went back in for a second visit. A truly memorable experience for all of us.

Went to the Illuminarium for yoga with Yoga Six and absolutely loved it so decided to bring my four year old. We started with the Brite Lite show and it was just magical with the perfect amount of light show and interactive games to keep him occupied. We went to Space next and while it was a beautiful experience and very informative it was definitely geared towards adults. They do have limited seating, while there were only about 25 people, I could see it being standing room only depending on capacity. We loved the chair and couch options they had! In the future we’ll definitely go back to check out Wild & Lite Brite again.

The illuminarium Space show was a great show however the LiteBrite was the most boring show I have seen in Vegas. If you want a relaxing space to sleep this is definitely the option for you. It’s 45 minutes of tranquil music putting you to sleep I added a snippet of it play it at night you will fall right to sleep! Enjoy Vegas it is fun

Some shows are more engaging than others. Its about $20 per show depending on the ticket package you go with. I've enjoyed a few and been disappointed with others. But it's hard to find a similar experience to what you get here.

The staff is very kind, warm, and welcoming. The atmosphere in the show is comfortable and relaxing, depending on which show you see. I took my significant other there for her birthday to see Space. She loved it, and I enjoyed it too. I would definitely recommend. Looking forward to visiting Meow Wolf Mega Mart next!

Loved the music and visuals! Fun and intriguing experience. If you love rock music (some hip hop included) you will enjoy this presentation. ❤️ Worth it to go!

Amazing digital effects. It's just one big room, but the walls and floors are changing constantly so it definitely kept us entertained for about an hour or so. There are interactive games to play. I just sat and was in awe of the beauty of the lights and effects they had. There are seating areas around if you don't want to stand. Not super crowded which was a plus and was able to try all the games they had. Fun experience. It's a little more kid focused. Ages 6-10 would love this place. Definitely recommend

Illuminarium's "Rolling Stone Presents: Amplified" is absolutely incredible! This 360-degree immersive rock experience opened in March 2025 and blew my mind. It's like being inside Rolling Stone magazine - you're surrounded by over 1,000 iconic photos, 200 rare videos, and music from 300+ legendary artists spanning seven decades of rock history. Kevin Bacon's narration guides you through eight amazing chapters covering everything from backstage moments to legendary studios to the messages behind protest songs. The technology is insane - 4K laser projection covers every surface including the floor, with 3D audio that makes you feel like you're actually at these historic concerts. You'll experience everything from Little Richard and The Beatles to modern artists like Chappell Roan. The interactive elements respond to your movements, creating magical moments throughout. It's not just watching - you're literally stepping into rock history. Located at 3246 W. Desert Inn Road (near AREA15), tickets start at $40. Shows run daily from 11am, with late shows until 11pm on weekends. Plan about an hour for the full experience. The lobby has a full bar and rock merchandise too. Pro tip: This isn't just for hardcore rock fans - the storytelling and visuals work for all ages. Perfect date night or group activity that's totally different from typical Vegas entertainment. Music history has never been this immersive!

What a cool place to take your children to! It feels like you're in another world and they can walk around too. There are also places to sit and enjoy the light scenes all around you. We saw the space and Lite Brite show. It was really interesting, and also a fun place to visit if you're looking for something different. I hope that they offer the dual pass for locals for a while longer. You get to enjoy 2 shows for the price of 1, otherwise it is pretty pricey for what it is. A positive is that it is part of Area 15 which is a fun place to visit. All in all we were happy to experience the spectacles offered at Illuminarium.

Meh... as in - if you've seen and done everything else in Vegas, sure, go, but otherwise I wouldn't make a special trip. Four shows were rotating throughout the day of our visit - we saw "Lite-Brite: Worlds of Wonder" and "Amplified: The Immersive Rock Experience." The latter was much better than the former, but honestly that's not saying much! I can't comment on "Wild: A Safari Experience" or "Space: An Experience Beyond Earth" but was told by staff that they rank somewhere in between the others.

The illuminarium is a very interesting place. Sadly my husband and I didn't get to go on the original day that we wanted to go because some group or other bought out the entire place and the people working did not warn us that we would not be able to see shows after a specific time. We were able to get our tickets, because we bought the level three a pass, extended to be able to use and watch our two shows. My husband and I and our two friends decided to watch the light bright show and space. Both were pretty interesting though. I will say that if you are looking for a show that has a little bit more pep interesting things to see watch the light bright show. My husband will also say that it is a little bit stuffy in there, and I was disappointed that during the space show it wasn't colder as if we were in space itself. Mind you we were there during the Christmas season. I will say that the show can be a bit repetitive because it takes about maybe 5 to 10 minutes for each section to finish, but it is a lot of fun regardless in my opinion if you have young children. I had a 10 month old with me and he was having a lot of fun watching the light bright show.

We had been wanting to check this out for quite some time and found out that it was closing on March 6th so we decided to go...we were able to get discounted locals tix for $30 each and since it was the last day we were allowed into the venue to watch all three shows instead of only two...the facility itself is very nice and you can park, feee for locals, in the adjacent lot...Space was by far the best production of the three, good graphics, music, and historically accurate...lite brite was the most fun, interactive and colorful...the safari show was definitely the most disappointing, just kind of blah really, the PBS shows are more interesting truthfully...wanted to give a higher overall score but I think the 3* is warranted...also, the place was dead on a Friday night in Vegas so that is saying something right there...website says that à new type of show will debut in winter of '26 so hopefully it's more interesting and advanced than the current one....

We came here since it was part of our level 2 access pass. I would not recommend buying it by itself. We saw the space one. This would be great if you had kids but I would pass if you're with all adults. I did enjoy some of the images of space but I think 45 mins is tops. We spent about 25-30 mins total. Most of the comfy seating was taken by kids. They have different images around the room. We only went in two rooms.

Did this on an actual rainy day in Vegas as part of the Go City pass. You get two shows that run about an hour each. We did the Space and Amplified shows. Space was *amazing*. It was like being in a planetarium. They have couches and chairs and places to sit. I would give it a 10/10 if you even remotely like space. Amplified was OK. It was kind of a story about rock but was mostly just pictures of bands with music. You can get up and move around. Kids were running around during Space. They currently also have a Light Bright show but we didn't see that one and it (unsuprisingly) had a lot of kids lined up to see it. I also think this would be a great way to spend the hot hours of summer months. It's located in Area 15, and parking was $7 for the day. You can go over to MeowWolf or any of the other spaces next door.

Out of all of the experiences we tried at Area 15, this is the one I would pass on. I attended a showing of SPACE. First of all, seating in the viewing area is limited and for this reason, if you don't get in line early enough to grab a seat, you'll either be standing or sitting on the floor. Second, although there are interesting portions of the presentation, it is long and drawn out. I noticed a lot of people leaving halfway through. I held out for a little longer than that but finally decided to leave as well. My ticket included this eperience so I was happy I at least gave it a try. Some visions of outer space and the moon landing were breathtaking but the length of the presentation was just too long.

My family and I went on 8/7 to celebrate a birthday. We loved the Space theme! It's great that there is so much space (haha) for kids to get their energy out to explore and walk (I know, kids tend to run in here and it is very difficult to not have them run when they're so excited about it all) also, and to have seating for those who just want to relax. We absolutely love the interactive floors as well! We have been here last year also for the Wild Safari theme. That one was amazing! It's not just animals the whole time - there is a segment of the weather and thunder/lightning storms in the savanna. The entire theme also starts like it's sunrise/early morning and the "day" progresses into night, so you get to see the time of day and what it could be like in the savanna during certain hours. If you're a local or military, definitely look into getting those reduced ticket prices! You can purchase online as well!

The Illuminarium is a gigantic room where a show is plastered all over the walls which each side of the room showing something different. Tickets cost $40 which let you see two shows or you can get access to one show with an Area 15 access pass. We saw the show called "Wild" and I'm glad there's some seating for us. At first, it reminded me of the Discovery Chanel which has some great documentaries. As for this show, it would alternate between small breaks of showing fake animals and then sections of actual real animals in different settings. Some of the scenes have short descriptions that you could read. For the most part, it really wasn't that interesting. The shots of the animals are nice but it doesn't hold a candle to the Discovery Chanel documentaries. I was having trouble staying awake. In fact, after 45 minutes, they literally loop to the first scene. After we realized that, we decided to leave instead of re-watching the whole thing all over again. There are 4 different shows. I can safely say it's not worth the price, but you might as well check it out if you bought an access pass.

Illuminarium is located in Area 15 that is in a large entertainment area that is close to the Las Vegas Strip. We came for the show called Amplified. It was a music show featuring music that made it to Rolling Stone Magazine. They offered a general admission price and a V.I.P. price that included tokens for that show. I don't believe any other discounts were available. Before the show you wait in the lobby that is partially a museum of musical memorabilia. Then you wait briefly in a waiting room. We entered and all kinds of pictures and colors were moving around the room quickly. It was dizzying but with good sounds. You have to decide on where to sit. I think near the ends you can see the most. So much goes on so quickly it is almost an overload but is still amazing. So much goes on that you can never be board. The room just comes alive all over. Maybe my biggest complaint is that the show is overly high paced. It just blows by a bit too fast. My other minor complaints are went I saw all the radio dials I thought the obvious song to hear was 'Radio Radio" by Elvis Costello.........or at least "Radio Ga Ga" by Queen.... Same thing with the ending song. At the end they were showing people who made it to the covers of Rolling Stone Magazine and they played the song Fame. I am a big fan of that song but a more perfect choice was that song - "Cover Of The Rolling Stone" by Dr Hook. Maybe not perfect and maybe expensive for what it is but still a good time. Parking is close.

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard." Space, at the Illuminarium is an out-of-this-world 360 immersive experience, where you travel on a journey across the galaxy. After hearing President Kennedy's 1962 speech, you experience liftoff to the moon, travel past the planets, and marvel at the discoveries of the James Webb telescope. It's timed with music like "Fly Me to the Moon," and other lyrical offerings, which can be a bit ponderous and slow. You can leave footprints on the moon, crush asteroids and other interactions on the floor. There are moon-type cushions throughout and the projections are 360 degrees. There's information projected on the walls, though the type is small and doesn't stay long enough onscreen to read all of the details, particularly about the James Webb telescope. Young children can still enjoy the experience even if they can't read, although as I said, there are times when they could have edited some of this to move it along. The pictures of the nebulas are incredible. The ticket is teamed with a showing of "Lite Brite." There's a small cafe and gift shop as well.

Interesting space and presentation format. We saw Amplified. The 360 degree presentation is interesting but can get tedious if you're no sitting near a corner with a good view of a larger wall. Tip: because of the projecters, the room is cold. Bring long sleeves.

Had an amazing time in this live interaction. It felt like I was really in Africa with the animals.

I'm not sure what it is about these kinds of places, but I feel like they've sprung up everywhere. Granted, this location is in a special entertainment zone (Area15) and they make good use of the space. Plus the cleanest bathrooms I have seen!! Skip the ones at Area15 and go here lmao. If you have the big activity pass, then this is worth a trip. If you don't, I'm not sure it's worth paying separately just to go here. It's a room with things projected onto it. It's basically a movie that you're watching. We caught the space one and it was enjoyable. Some of the screens were a little blurry but we just moved to the other side. The restaurant on-site was closed but the gift shop was open if you wanted an expensive souvenir.

OVERVIEW: Took my 11 year old daughter here on a whim to try something different in town. The building for the Illuminarium shares a parking lot with Area 15, but is its own building across a small street - they are not physically connected. Parking was kind of tight because it shares the lot, but we found a decent amount of parking further from the Area 15 entrance and closer to the Illuminarium entrance. SERVICE: Because we are local, we took advantage of the local discount by purchasing tickets at their main box office (front counter). How it works is that you get both features - for us it was "Lite Bright" and "Space." They are about an hour each, and alternating times so you can catch both, one after the other. For us we did Lite Brite at 6pm and Space at 7pm. You wait in line and someone scans your tickets, they give a small safety/rules briefing, and then walk you to the room. THE EXPERIENCE: When you walk in, there are already "waiting" projections. There was decent seating within the large "projection room," though there were definitely still people standing, unsure if by choice. When it started, it was pretty cool - you are surrounded by images on every side, including the floor. For example, there was an underwater portion, and if you got up and walked around, there would be a bubble trail behind you - very cool. I really enjoyed that in the Space one, it felt like you were on the surface of the moon, and you'd see astronaut boot prints trailing behind you as you walked around. My daughter really enjoyed the Lite Brite show, which made the room look like a giant lite brite (with colored dots making the images), so it wasn't the high resolution imagery I was expecting, but that came into play with Space. There were little mini games during Lite Brite, but scoring was temperamental and the rules weren't clear for some games. We enjoyed Lite Brite, and thought we had to leave the room to line up for Space, but it turned out we just ended up walking back to the same room - unsure if that's the same for every show. Space started out pretty cool, with a moon landing scene. I loved that they had actual moon landing footage in a 'picture-in-picture' type of scene, with facts on the screens as well. However, by this point, we'd just done an hour show, and we were getting a bit bored/tired/hungry to finish sitting through Space, so we left early to eat. RECOMMENDATION: If you can get this at a discount and you have young children, I'd definitely recommend it. The young ones there really enjoyed this, or Lite Brite at least. Though we didn't finish Space, the graphics were visually stunning and it did make you feel like you were walking around on the surface of the moon, looking at the moon's mountains/skylines on the horizon. High quality projections and audio throughout for sure. It will take about 2 hours, I did find myself getting bored/tired towards the tail end of our 75 minutes there, but again, I was very thankful there were seats available to just relax and immerse yourself in the show.

We attended the rock and roll and space shows. The rock show was impressive, great photos, good story. The space show had nice visuals, but it had no story, and seemed disjointed. It came very close to boring. I'd recommend the rock show and lite bright, skip the space show.

We have been pretty disappointed the last 2 Sundays we tried to see Amplified here. My recommendation is that you call and make sure the show you want to see is playing before headed over (shame on us that we did not). Mother's day they decided to run Wild and weren't showing Amplified so we struck out, and this Sunday apparently they were alternating Space and Amplified every other hour so we struck out again since we didn't have time to wait until the next showing of Amplified. We decided seeing this show isn't in our cards so are giving up.

Discovered Illuminarium as one of the many LV attractions included the Go City pass. Conveniently located beside Area 15 with free parking. This year, patrons are able to see both cinematic immersive shows: Space and Lite Brite. Both were well produced, Lite Brite was very colorful and interactive. Since we came on New Year's Eve, there was a bonus attraction in a separate room that showed New Year's celebrations from other countries at the top of the hour (we saw Abu Dhabi and Kenya). There were other activities such as bracelet making, face painting, 360 video with New Year props. The staff are very friendly. Overall, It's a nice attraction to see for the first time, after that, unless it's a brand new show, younger kids would most likely enjoy it more for an encore visit.

Kristy was very kind. The kids had blast! The kids had fun when the rocket was following them! It was a neat experience!

Such a. Cool experience !!! On the other side of area 15, we did the light bright show and that was magical. Had a great time. Will definitely go back.

This experience was pretty interesting but honestly if it wasn't included in the Area 15 pass, I probably wouldn't have paid for it. We wound up doing the animal experience which was a showing of a bunch of different animals across the walls. It's was pretty immersive, the screens were huge and there were some smells associated with the movies. It was cute and pretty cool for the first few screens but we didn't stay for the full experience. It dragged on a little bit. I think it could be shorter for sure.

I checked out Amplified at Illuminarium this past weekend while in Vegas - and absolutely loved it! Such a cool immersive experience for any music lover. The Rolling Stone archival footage was pretty incredible. Such unique photographs of so many legends I've never seen before, all up in your face! The visuals and the sound had me totally immersed in music heaven for an hour. And the Illuminarium venue was awesome. Very cool space with comfy white couches. Felt like I was in a Stanley Kubrick film. All in all, 10/10. Don't walk, run over to this show while it's there. Hoping to see it again soon!! Great job Illuminarium x Rolling Stone! :)

Illuminarium definitely looked appealing and sounds really cool but honestly, if I didn't have free tickets, I would not want to pay for this. The staff is really nice and there's your usual gift shop. When it was showtime, you get in line and enter this room. I did the Space show and the intro was pretty neat. Wall to wall projections and the couch was comfy. Then you go into this other big room where you can free roam. There are parts of the show that's interactive, like the asteroid belt. The entire show was about 30mins. I understand the huge production value behind it and the value of the show but it just felt kind of bland. I'm not sure how it could improve but it doesn't draw me back for another visit.

Out of all the exhibitions in Area 15, I think this was the best one to go to. I assumed that it would be just like any other planeterium I've been to. You sit down, watch something on the ceiling for 30 minutes then you're out. But boy, I was entirely wrong about the experience. You sit down and a staff explains to you what will happen then you go another room to fully immerse yourself in everything about space. It was interactive and also got so many cool looking pictures. Definitely would love to come back when the zoo exhibition is on!

An amazing experience to view space!! Very immersive to see!! I would definitely come back and recommend for anyone to see who loves space!!

We had an amazing time at the illuminarium! Huge thanks to Kathy for making the experience special for me and my girlfriend! Would definitely recommend !

Husband is obsessed with outer space. This place is amazing. He loved all the images and videos. The show was about a bit over an hour. We saw the lite Brite show as well, however, I believe one show is more than enough for a day. Something different to do while in Vegas.

For my first visit, I purchased the Dual Pass for the Space and Lite-Brite shows. I was really impressed with the Space show. It provided a nice history lesson on flights to the moon, satellites, and astronomy. The quality of the graphics and sounds were very good. I like how footsteps or stellar effects are projected onto the ground near your feet as you walk around. I stayed for the entire one-hour show. Space sets a cinematic bar that makes it hard afterward to watch the lower resolution graphics of Lite-Brite, with its limited array of colors. I stayed 15 minutes into the show, which was plenty for me. It's definitely geared toward families with children, which was most of the audience. Amplified, by Rolling Stone, is a show that I'd be interested in seeing next.

Went for the first time and omg it was an amazing experience! We did the space one! It was about a hour long show. Stunning images and the coolest vibe! Would definitely come back 100%

The illuminarium Winter Wonderland Spectacular at Area 15, is a nice outing for the entire family and especially those with small children. Guests are guided into a large warehouse type room highlighted in bright colors with large visual screens displaying patterns which, our synchronized to music. There is ample seating throughout to accommodate large groups and those with limited mobility issues. The entire show last about 30 minutes. Although, the visual spectacle was eye catching my overall impressions of the entire show was that it seemed a little repetitive, slow and a bit boring. The good news is locals receive a $10.00 discount on admission. Also, every guest is given a token for a free cup of hot chocolate which, can be obtained upon entering the venue.

Fun but expensive space interactive. We never figured out why the employees were dressed as Star Wars characters when it was a space show with moon landings, rocket launchings, and planets but it was still cool. Please like and subscribe. It is so fun for us to see our channel growing! PS...well, we just figured out why everyone was dressed like Star Wars. Today is May 4....May the 4th be with you. Of course! Face slap. Check out my video review of the place and see for yourself. https://youtu.be/-JYyzwQ9Dyc?si=8Y6RANjEgA1idOIB

We went for Mothers Day Brunch. Brunch could have been far better than it was as far as seating, setup and one single bartender for at least 80 people. The flower show and music during the food were a nice touch. The safari show after was alright - not much wow to it and we moved several times to find a good place to see most of the show at once. I probably would not do this again but I am glad I experienced once.

We had a lot of fun, but it took a minute to fully understand how the attraction "works". I suggest fully opening your mind to enjoy the sensory & interactive experience. I definitely would recommend going, as part of your Meow Wolf/Area 15 adventure.

I got two for one tickets, took a friend, that night was Taylor Swift's new album drop. It was okay, lots of tweens and young adults having fun, long line for Shirley temples at the bar.

No Love for After Dark: Love on Top (V-day 2025): Not worth it! It's very deceiving and incredibly underwhelming. This event was located in a smaller building across from Area 51. It was basically a single room with projections on the walls. There was no kind of Valentine's decoration whatsoever and a total of like 10 people just hanging out awkwardly. Lol. We are here visiting some local friends and thought this would be a cute way to experience some visual art. Our friends got in before us and FaceTimed us like, "what is this??" I was like, I had no clue what to expect. I had tried researching online as many reviews and photos to see if it was worth it but couldn't find much. Now I know why. But I still wanted to give it a chance. Our friends have been to Area 51 and said that is a way better experience. Anyhow, we didn't stay long. **Shout to the DJ, though

Cliff Notes Price Range: $$ Parking: Plenty Perk: Kids enjoyed it Non-Perk: It was just in two room Ambiance: Spacey feel Noise: Medium Temperature: Comfortable Recommend: Sure Dissertation We went to the space art light exhibit, and let me tell you, it was an enlightening experience! The lights were so mesmerizing that I lost track of time and space - literally! I think I accidentally stumbled into a wormhole while trying to take a selfie with a asteroid (jk). All in all, it's the kind of art exhibit that makes you question the universe and your sanity, but in the best way possible. The kids had fun finding their birth signs, stepping on the asteroids and exploding them on the floor. It was an amusing little get away, even if it was only for a couple hours.

This place is crazy good with all the illusions and the different channels and hallways and activities. It happened that they let me in for free so that was super cool too

The other day I took my nephew to @illuminariumlv to see their Space attraction. Illuminarium ensures that every moment of SPACE is an encounter with the extraordinary. Whether you're gazing at planets or weaving through an asteroid belt, the combination of cutting-edge technology and creative design guarantees an immersive journey like never before. For those seeking a cosmic adventure or a moment of awe-inspiring escape, SPACE promises an unparalleled odyssey through the wonders of the universe. This attraction was mesmerizing and fun, a bit too long but good. Hours of Operation: 11am - 7pm daily.

The night we visited (Aug. 26, 2023), it was Beyonce night! We were in town to see her on the Renaissance World Tour anyway, so we were ecstatic to discover that they changed the night's theme to Beyonce. We purchased our tickets online in advance. The building is so captivating with its celestial-themed lighting. We made our way through the safari room which had rooms with wall and floor junglelike moving images. The adjacent larger room had trippy optical illusions along the walls and floor, a bar, and a DJ playing exclusively Beyonce songs. I loooved the song mixes and transitions and couldn't stop dancing. It was such a dope vibe because everyone there was a Beyonce fan, so I had fun dancing with the other stans. The bar had Beyonce-themed drinks (cocktails and mocktails). The tickets I purchased included one drink per ticket, so I ordered a Cozy Blue Mule (infused vodka, cold-pressed lemon juice, agave, and ginger beer). *Chef's kiss* There was ample seating and a few high tables throughout the rooms which would certainly come in handy for the nights they don't have a DJ and you just wanna chill out. It reminds me of Artechouse but with a far less interactive element.

Space After Dark is a nightlife arts and attraction for 21+. They're located inside Illuminarium Las Vegas and is open everyday from 8pm to 12am. General admission is $35. They offer local discount which is $10 off, and there is an option to add a signature cocktail drink. The staff members are very kind and courteous, especially Jocelyn and Damien, they're so welcoming and friendly. The attraction has two rooms, the first room is more like a lounge and the second room is the immersive experience. Space After Dark is a projection of outer space and planets. There are seatings available but it's more engaging to walk around the space and do creative photo ops. The projections look awesome, however it would be nice if the ceiling was covered to make the experience fully immersive. Background music is ethereal. There's audio commentary, snippets of rocket launch, and astronauts on the moon. Comets and asteroids are reflected on the floor. The floor projections are interactive and if you step on an asteroid, it will break apart which looks so cool!

I decided to write this review so others have proper expectation for the sports at the Illuminarium experience. I will say that the idea of this concept is cool, but the execution was greatly lacking. There are literally hundreds of places in this town to watch a game so you'd think they'd consider that in setting up this. The whole thing is a just mess. Check-in was smooth and friendly and the manager offered us a sneak peek at the venue. It looked really awesome, but way smaller than we expected. Several pouf chairs and several bar height tables with about 60 seats total. The mgr told us the cafe was open and we could wait there for the doors to open. The cafe staff told us they weren't opening for another 30 mins but we could sit there and wait. Previous reviews had mentioned the food options in the venue, including a buffet style setup. Not only was that not the case on this day, but they were also telling people at check in that no food is allowed in the venue. We and many others had not eaten and we expected there to be food available since we were there and possibly drinking for 3 hours. Another lady was told by the cafe that they may not even open due to the chef not calling out, so we were basically they with no access to food. At that point several of us asked for a refund. The manager, Jazz, who was amazing did some maneuvering and told us that food would be offered and delivered over from the kitchen. We all decided to stay at this point. We found seating to be really terrible for watching a game. The pouf chairs were too close to the screens and the tall tops were uncomfortable with plastic barstools. We decided not to order food, but what we saw appeared to be one of the biggest rip offs we've seen. The price of $14-$19 for less than a full handful of fries and 3 chicken fingers, teeny tiny wings, etc. were not in line with other places on and off the strip. Upon check-in we were told the drink that came with our ticket was any drink alcoholic or non-alcoholic. It wound up being only well Liquor with no Red Bull allowed as the mixer. No big deal, but there was no real clarity on what the drink ticket covered. The bar was setup much like one you'd see at a bad wedding venue but was very limited. We stayed until half time and decided to go elsewhere because it was just not that enjoyable. I hope if you choose to go, your experience is better than ours. Maybe the issues they dealt with will help them improve.

I've been to all their experiences and love it. It's like sitting in a 360 tv but with floor interactivity, and incredible sound. The yoga is a new favorite of mine. The instructors are from local studios and it's always a great time.

If you've done the Van Gough experience and liked it, you'll love the Illuminarium! The theme of this show is outer space. At some points, it feels like you're really out there floating among the stars. After hours, this place becomes a 21+ lounge.

Lite Brite was too crowded and Kind of boring for the cost. Ok for kids but not impressive for anyone who has been to meow wolf or enchante. It's more for kids than adults. After 30 min it started over and the exhibit was like an hour long. It would have been nice to continue the story line from the intro into the room.

Fun times until my entry was questioned by a staff member. I came to Vegas with my partner for our one year wedding anniversary. We were excited to find something to do off the strip, and decided to check out the Illuminarium. The front desk staff and opening host were super friendly and helpful. The entire experience takes place in two different rooms and has a lot of beautiful visuals. My lower rating is because towards the end of the experience, after taking countless pictures for about 15-20 minutes, a staff member who was in the room, walked up to us in a crowd asking to see our tickets. I was surprised because we had been there the entire time and she stated she wanted to make sure we didn't sneak through the gift shop to enter. I then asked why we were the only ones being asked to prove this since it was a crowded room. We showed her our tickets but she made me feel uncomfortable and singled out so we left. The manager did offer a discount to the cafe.

Extremely slow and boring. Basically just in a room with projectors that play music with very slow pacing. Left after 30 minutes because nothing interested happened. They also force you to buy two hours for two different shows. Would not recommend.

I recently visited the Illuminarium Las Vegas and overall, I thought it was a neat experience. As a local, I appreciated a discounted rate. The first room had interactive elements that were fun. You enter into a slightly smaller room that's still pretty large that has bean bag chairs. You are expected to wait for the instructor in that room. When the guide/instructor comes in they start with a presentation regarding the brief history of SPACE and what you're going to experience. In the first room at one point you felt like you were in a rocket taking off. Being able to see space all around you, the controls of the ship, etc it was exciting. This experience can pose challenges to people with sensory issues, but they do offer a sensory bag before you enter. I personally had a challenging time with the asteroid display in the second room because the projections of the asteroid belt moved rather quickly throwing off my equilibrium. There were other parts of the room that I walked over to that were not that intense, so it's not the entire room that has that type of display. After the first room, we were let into a second larger room. This is where we saw different zodiacs, planets, and the landing on the moon. The floor is responsive and you're able to step on asteroids to crack them and once you get to the moon you are able to leave footprints that disappear after a few steps. The footprints are responsive to light so my shadow from my body actually created footsteps instead of my feet in certain areas. As you can see from the managers response to my review how intricate this art display really is. But as face value from a customer standpoint who doesn't understand the logistics of how incredible the technology is I found that I was bored pretty quickly. I would have appreciated more guidance or explanations throughout the experience. As you can see from the owner's response the staff is intended to be available for any questions you may have and it's a self-guided experience. Which is not necessarily a bad thing, but in my opinion I felt like there needed to be more. The best way to think about this experience is an immersive art display that you're supposed to walk up and read about each thing being displayed. If you're thinking about it in that aspect then I wouldn't change a thing. I did notice the smell he is referring to that was pumped into the room. For the SPACE experience it smelled like Vicks vapor rub. I can imagine that it's more complicated than Vick's vapor rub, but in my groups opinion that is what it smelled like. Overall, while Illuminarium was a neat concept, it wasn't something that I would imagine returning to do necessarily unless they had other exhibits or parties. Based off of what I know is that they do have other exhibits and do feature sports nights, so if SPACE isn't something that excites you watch for their other events. Also, If you do not enjoy having kids run around you they have a 21 and up day / time. If you're interested in a unique visual display and enjoy an immersive experience, it could be worth checking out. Just keep in mind that it may not be suitable for those with sensory issues due to the large crowds and immersive nature of the display. -- I would love to see this incorporated with an immersive dining experience. I think that there's an opportunity to make it feel like you're in a place such as Japan where you can enjoy Japanese cuisine. That might be a fun pop-up idea! They definitely have the display to make it feel like you're in a Japanese night market, so if they're able to collaborate with someone there could be an incredible opportunity to take advantage of.

This is a very cool exhibit! I had been wanting to come for a long time and finally got a chance to visit. We chose to see Wild because I love animals and it's my dream to one day go on an African safari. We got the VIP passes so we could go any time of the day since we weren't sure what our schedule would be. It comes with $10 each to use at the gift shop or Cafe. We got there with time to get a drink so we stopped in the cafe and ordered a beer and water. When we checked out, we were informed that although we had $20 to use at the cafe from our VIP tickets, and our order was only $14, we could only use them for one transaction and not be able to use the $6 later. The person checking is out did not ask if we wanted to add anything else to the order, I was disappointed about this. The exhibit was amazing, I love that when the animals are walking around you can feel it in the floor, and they even add a scent to the air that is reminiscent of the plants in the African plains. It feels very immersive. The videos rotate through a number of different scenes, from a sunset to a thunderstorm and through different areas of Africa. I loved that they displayed text with facts about the animals. It was informative and not distracting. It takes 45 minutes to get through all of the videos before it repeats. The seating is comfortable and the exhibit did not feel crowded at all. We had a great time and I would love to come back to see the space exhibit as well.

Eh - I was pretty disappointed. I bought my tickets during a Black Friday sale and if I paid full price for them, I would have been really upset. Even with the sale, I didn't really think it was worth it. We came for the Christmas Winter Wonderland. When you walk in, there are chairs to sit and the kids to color and write a letter to Santa. Ok. Then you walk into another bigger room and there was a line for the hot chocolate. The ticket includes hot chocolate and it was ok. It was a big room with light projections and music. That's it. That's pretty much it. We sat and danced. Many kids were like "this is it?!" We walked out after 30 min later and took a pic with Santa. Yup, that's it folks.
