Seven Magic Mountains

Only 10 miles south of Las Vegas — about 25-30 min from the Strip — you will find the Seven Magic Mountains. A fascinating public art installation, by the internationally renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, featuring seven pillars of brightly colored boulders stretching up into the desert sky. It is an excellent spot to take some really cool photos as well as take a break from all the gambling in Vegas. An insider's tip: come during sunset, when it looks even more magical. Also, remember to bring some water and sunglasses to keep the sand off your eyes, and do keep an eye out for snakes.
