Ugo Rondinone’s Spectacle in the Desert “Seven Magic Mountains”
There isn’t a better outdoor photo opportunity than the monumental Seven Magic Mountains! Just 10 miles south of the Las Vegas Strip, this free thing to do in Las Vegas, designed by Ugo Rondinone, is a vivid, 30-foot-tall desert art installation of stacked, brightly colored boulders. Against the Mojave’s muted landscape, the seven neon sculptures create a striking visual, blending nature with modern art.
