Some rocks Ugo Rondinone painted

Uhh..... Ugo Rondinone’s Seven Magic Mountains
(AKA: Instagram Hipsters Paradise? (gross))

Having just driven to Las Vegas from Los Angeles, via flight from Orlando... Mariah had found out about the Seven Magic Mountains art installation that would be on our way... So we decided to make a stop before rolling into Vegas.. and more importantly, our hotel.

.....Its literally in the middle of the desert

Yup.... the desert.
and stuff.

but suddenly.... people, lots and lots of people.

Oh, and uh, art.

Seven Magic Mountains (2016)

A large scale art installation by Ugo Rondinone
((originally meant to be a 2 year installation.. but its now been extended till at least the end of 2018))

And its an Instagram/Profile Photo takers dream...

Made with seven different 35 foot tall rock totems... all painted super fun/bright colors

And full with hipsters and scene kids on their way to the iHeartRadio Music Festival in Vegas from LA or places beyond.
(I feel like I would have enjoyed this so much more had we been here on any other day... but oh well, it just happened that way)

Hey look, its those people

Ok, back into the desert we go...
