Beyond the Casinos: Unexpected Hidden Gems in Las Vegas

25. Seven Magic Mountains

Venture about 10 miles south of Las Vegas into the desert to encounter Ugo Rondinone's striking large-scale public art installation, Seven Magic Mountains. These towering stacks of brightly painted boulders rise dramatically against the arid landscape, creating a surreal and highly photogenic contrast. While increasingly popular on social media, their location means many Strip-focused visitors miss them. It’s a unique, accessible piece of contemporary land art offering a moment of vibrant color and contemplation just off the highway to Los Angeles.
