๐บ๐ธ Seven Magic Mountains โ A Must-See Vegas Detour! ๐๐๏ธ
We hadnโt originally planned to visit the Seven Magic Mountains, but after returning our rental car early in St. George, we found ourselves with two extra hours before our flight from Las Vegas ๐โ๏ธ. So we thought โ why not? We took a quick drive out, and wow โ no regrets! It was absolutely stunning! ๐ ๐ What is it? Located about 20 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip, Seven Magic Mountains is a vibrant, large-scale public art installation created by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone ๐จ๐งโ๐ค. It consists of seven towers of brightly colored boulders stacked up to 30 feet high, standing strong against the vast, serene Mojave Desert. โจ Why It Wows The neon-painted rocks create a jaw-dropping contrast with the muted desert landscape ๐จโก๏ธ๐๏ธ. Itโs like a conversation between human creativity and raw nature ๐ค๐ฌ. The stacked forms remind you of ancient stone monuments (think Stonehenge or Easter Island Moai), but with a fun, modern, fluorescent twist โ bridging ancient vibes with contemporary expression ๐ชจ๐ฅ. Itโs become a major Instagram hotspot ๐ธ๐. Against the endless desert and bright blue sky, these colorful towers make the perfect backdrop. Every shot looks like a masterpiece! ๐ How to Get There From the Las Vegas Strip, itโs just a 20โ30 minute drive south via I-15 ๐ฃ๏ธ. Take the Jean exit and follow the signs โ you canโt miss it! Thereโs a free dedicated parking lot right by the site. ๐ Address: S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, NV 89054 (Just search โSeven Magic Mountainsโ on Google Maps!) Perfect for a short side trip while exploring Vegas โ highly recommend! โ #SevenMagicMountains #LasVegas #DesertArt #RoadTrip #TravelUSA #NeonRocks #InstaWorthy
