3 Best Sights in Las Vegas, Nevada

The "mountains" of Seven Magic Mountains aren't actually mountains at all; instead they're towers of multicolor stacked boulders standing more than 30 feet high. The art installation from renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone is a commentary about human presence in the desert, and it stands tall about 10 miles south of town near Jean Dry Lake. Visitors to the site can walk right up and pose with the towers. As such, the spot has become a popular place for selfies. The exhibit opened in 2016 and was only scheduled to run until 2018, but due to public demand, it's been extended. Watch for signs on I-15 directing you to the parking area. 

ARIA boasts more than $42 million in public art by 15 artists. Pieces range from sculptures to paintings and elaborate fountains. Our favorite: Big Edge, an amalgam of kayaks and canoes by Nancy Rubins.

The 50-foot-tall neon cowboy outside the Pioneer Club has been waving to Las Vegas visitors since 1947 (though, truth be told, he was actually replaced by a newer version in 1951). His neon sidekick, Vegas Vicki, went up across the street in 1980, was retired in 2017, then unretired—complete with her own lounge—in Downtown's new Circa Resort & Casino.
