LAS VEGAS (March 2022) – AREA15, the immersive art and entertainment district located minutes from the Las Vegas Strip, invites guests to enjoy an array of brand-new events, promotions and experiences this March.

Description: Ticketholders will take a trip down the rabbit hole and journey to wonderlands unknown at “We’re All Mad Here,” an immersive Alice in Wonderland-themed party at AREA15.

Awaken the wanderer within with a headlining performance by French producer, CloZee. A purveyor of lucid sounds, CloZee is a worldly and rhythmic figure in the electronic music atmosphere. Orchestrated under the umbrella of modern electronic music, CloZee’s sound can best be described as world bass. Drawing inspiration from her frequent travels and subsequent explosive performances across the globe, the multidimensional musician casts a wide net that draws listeners in from all walks of life.
“We’re All Mad Here” features additional musical support from LUZCID, VEIL, LYNY, ATTLAS, TALONS and Not So Low for a night of booming, genre-bending bass in the A-Lot and The Portal. Guests can also enjoy immersive art installations by Matt Elson, Debi Cable, Amigo + Amigo and Fired Up Management.

Yoga and Wellness with Dray

Description: Tap into a higher version of yourself with an immersive yoga class taught by Dray Gardner in The Portal.

Enjoy a class experience like no other, surrounded by state-of-the-art sound and 360-degree projections that will envelop participants during the session. Participants are required to bring their own mats.
Dray Gardner was once crippled by a life-threatening automobile accident and his doctor suggested back surgery, however, Gardner insisted on a more holistic approach. Yoga allowed his mind and body to have brand-new experiences – teaching him balance, discipline, focus, determination, strength, flexibility and peace of mind through meditation. As Dray would say, “You owe you.” Because of his own personal experiences, he believes his purpose is to help others evolve into their best self. It was in learning the science behind yoga and how the practice supports every muscle, tendon, joint and organ down to a cellular level that truly hooked Gardner, leading him to what has now become his life’s work and dharma. Gardner dedicates his time to cultivating unique and transformative yoga experiences and offering his knowledge, strength and commitment to the people of the community.
