What’s the experience like?

“Don’t trust your eyes here — they’ll play tricks on you,” our guide grinned as we shuffled past a wall that looked like it was melting. I’d barely stepped inside the Paradox Museum in Las Vegas when I realized nothing in this place made sense, but in a fun way. There were families laughing, teens posing for photos, and even a couple of older folks joking about which way was up. The air smelled faintly of popcorn from the lobby (I think someone brought it in), and everything felt sort of electric — maybe that’s just Vegas energy leaking in.

I tried to walk straight through the Infinity Room but ended up bumping into myself (well, my reflection). My friend Li tried to explain how the Reverse Room worked, something about perspective and math — honestly, I just laughed at how weird my arms looked in the mirror. We met a staff member named Rosa who showed us how to get the best photos without looking too confused (didn’t really work for me). She said locals sometimes come just to see if they can spot something new each time. It’s not huge — you can see most exhibits in an hour or so — but we lingered because every corner had another little surprise.

By the time we reached the Mirror Maze, I’d lost track of where we started. The lights bounced around and there was this low hum of people giggling or calling out for their friends. It’s all indoors so you don’t worry about weather or anything — just pure sensory overload, but not in a bad way. I left with my phone full of odd photos and a lingering sense that maybe reality is more flexible than I thought. Still think about that upside-down room sometimes; kind of wish my apartment felt that playful.
