Think the sort of stuff you&#8217;d get at Spencer&#8217;s Gifts but attached to motors. Meanwhile a narrator explained pop psychology concepts related to the infinite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each room has a limited time before the door opens to the next and you&#8217;re expected to step through. All in all it took around half an hour to complete.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If pop psychology and rhythmic music is of interest to you there&#8217;s <em>another<\/em> show you should check out in Las Vegas: The Blue Man Group. Sure it&#8217;s about three times more expensive, but it&#8217;s also far more entertaining. And wouldn&#8217;t you know it, Wink World creator Chris Wink is also co-founder of the Blue Man Group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>My recommendation<\/strong>: This might be worth it if you&#8217;re looking to pass the time and you&#8217;re already at Area 15, otherwise skip it and go get tickets for the Blue Man Group instead. Now <em>that&#8217;s<\/em> a fun show. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; After checking into Wink World and putting on a pair of (optional) 3D glasses, I was told to make my way past a series [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_eb_attr":"","slim_seo":{"title":"Wink World at Area 15 - MrEricSir.com","description":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=KwDkSyWX7Ek Selections from Wink World (no audio) &nbsp; After checking into Wink World and putting on a pair of (optional) 3D g"},"autoblue_enabled":true,"autoblue_custom_message":"","autoblue_shares":[],"autoblue_post_url":"","autoblue_publish_document":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[190,1470,222,322],"class_list":["post-9364","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-misc","tag-art","tag-las-vegas","tag-travel","tag-videos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9364","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9364"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9364\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9367,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9364\/revisions\/9367"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9364"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9364"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.mrericsir.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9364"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
