Las Vegas is known for its vibrant and dazzling attractions, but amidst the glitz and glamor of the Strip, there’s a different kind of 

magic waiting to be discovered. A short drive south of the city, just off Las Vegas Blvd, you’ll encounter the Seven Magic Mountains, 

an art installation that adds a striking burst of color to the surrounding desert landscape.

An Artistic Oasis in the Desert:
The Seven Magic Mountains is the brainchild of Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone, who envisioned a unique and temporary masterpiece 

in the Mojave Desert. These towering, fluorescent boulders are anything but ordinary. Rising up to 35 feet into the desert sky, they

 stand out like a technicolor dream in a sea of muted tones. This artistic oasis serves as a striking contrast to the arid, natural 

beauty of the desert.

A Vibrant Contradiction:
The contrasting hues of these stacked boulders are a vibrant contradiction to the desert’s earthy palette. Each boulder is painted

 in bright, neon colors that include vivid pinks, oranges, and blues. Together, they create an awe-inspiring sight that’s visible from

 miles away, making it an irresistible stop for travelers on Las Vegas Blvd.

A Temporary Treasure:
The Seven Magic Mountains opened on May 11, 2016, as a temporary installation, and was expected to remain in the desert until 2022,

 but due to its success, The Seven Magic Mountains remains open

Plan Your Visit:
The Seven Magic Mountains is easily accessible from Las Vegas Blvd. It’s a short drive from the city, making it an ideal day trip or 

a pit stop on a longer desert adventure. Just be sure to bring your camera because the photo opportunities are as magical as the

 installation itself.
So, the next time you find yourself on Las Vegas Blvd, take a detour into the desert and immerse yourself in the captivating world 

of the Seven Magic Mountains. It’s a testament to the power of art and the unexpected treasures that await beyond the neon lights of the Strip.
