Illuminarium Las Vegas

The basics

Step into all-encompassing projections that take you to vivid settings at Illuminarium Las Vegas. Recent experiences have included a show inspired by the classic Lite-Brite toy and one about space where you’ll feel like you’re walking on the moon. The venue also hosts watch parties for football, basketball, and hockey games on select days. Choose from general admission and VIP or premium packages. Extras like 360-degree photo booth pics can be added at an additional cost.

Things to know before you go

• On select Saturday and Sunday mornings, Illuminarium offers special sensory-inclusive shows featuring technical adjustments like low volume and no floor lights.

• Some experiences may cause discomfort for those with photosensitivity, motion sickness, or epilepsy.

• Temperatures are kept low in the immersive spaces because the tech produces lots of heat, so consider bringing a jacket with you.

• Illuminarium is wheelchair accessible.

How to get there

Illuminarium Las Vegas is located on the AREA15 campus. Though it’s along the Strip, it’s not really close to any major hotels, so it’s best to drive or use a rideshare service or taxi to get there. The nearest bus stops are about a 15-minute walk away.

When to get there

The best time to visit is typically on weekdays, especially from Tuesday to Thursday, when the crowds are smaller. Evening sessions are more popular, which means earlier shows can be less crowded.

Things to do at AREA15

Illuminarium is part of the larger AREA15 complex, a vast entertainment venue with unique attractions such as the interactive art installation Meow Wolf: Omega Mart. Here, you can try to repair a robot during a challenging VR experience, play virtual dodgeball, or compete in classic arcade games at the on-site bar.
