Standing there with his happy little face (I am guessing it's a boy cat, but who knows?), it's a total mood lifter amid the city's neon chaos. Snowball is an unofficial city mascot, especially to those of us creative types who frequent the downtown Arts District. Perfect for a quick selfie or just to take in some fun street art, Snowball's got a playful energy that makes it impossible not to smile. His tongue is sticking out and his squinting eyes have the cutest expression ever (and one that most cat parents will recognize). Snowball's oversized ears are the icing on the cake.  I love public art and I personally think it's worth the trip downtown to pay Snowball a visit. It's a fun, quirky statue that's free and open to all, 24/7.

It is a huge space, stunning, and well worth a visit to see the artists' work for sale and on display. The class was well organized and everyone attending was given personalized instruction and attention. The owners are very friendly and love to share their long careers in glass media of all kinds. We were able to choose our materials from an unending supply of colors and types of glass. We were all thrilled with our results, picked up a week later after firing. I have already signed up for another class! The classes are offered at a reasonable price point and the owners are willing to host private parties with 10 or more paid attendees. We all took cards to give friends and plan to return many times! 5 stars plus!!

In Las Vegas, amongst the glitz, lights, night life, booze, gambling and shopping (don't get me…read morewrong, these are all pretty fantastic in this 2 mile block of Southern Nevada along the world famous Vegas Strip!), art can often be an after thought. A moment in which in your burry eyed, foggy state of boarding your return flight home, you might vaguely remember a giant thing with tumbling numbers or a giant tree house looking thing you thought was a restaurant. But make no mistake, those items (which are indeed public art) have been placed there for you to see, experience, be mesmerized by and enjoy....whether you actually knew it or not. Crystals and the City Center area that surrounds it, is a treasure trove of some of the city's greatest contemporary, cool art installations. From the cool Mihajima Marks U.S debuted piece that went in to Crystals last year, to the funky cool tree house that houses Maestros designed by David Rockwell or James Turrell's Akhob located inside Louis Vuitton (appointments required, so call well in advance)...great art is everywhere at Crystals! Look up City Center Art Collection before you visit, for if art is your thing, this is a fun scavenger hunt around City Center, in addition to Crystals (the shopping entity at City Center). Most of the pieces are large and can make you travel around the entire site to discover. The art at Crystals can rotate from time to time, so keep your eyes peeled for new stuff during each visit.

Come with lots of Patience because there are a lot of people wanting to capture these stunning masterpieces.

This display was by far my favorite I have ever seen! I felt like i was transported into Tarzans world. (One of my favorite movies) The animal sounds around you gave me rainforest cafe vibes but not in a bad way. It just enhanced the experience. I really enjoyed walking around. The amount of work and detail in each area is incredible. Such vibrant colors and a fun theme. I love the garden table that is set up with this display. It would be so fun to have brunch or dinner there in this incredible space. Or even a cocktail at the watering hole. I can't wait to see what they do next! If you're in the area don't skip this free exhibit! It is easy to access from the parking garage. Locals get free parking up to 3 hours.

You can also get on an old train and learn about history of Las Vegas. Outside, there is a playground, and a few animals so it kind of feels like a little mini zoo. They also have a cafe which we tried and was decent. One thing I really like is that they have different activities and workshops on certain days so it doesn't feel like you're doing the same thing every time you visit. On our last visit, they had an insect workshop with a UNLV student who taught the kids about different bugs. At the end, they got to make their own little bug hotel, really cute! They had also added a dinosaur exhibit where they had moving dinasaurs and a place where kids could draw and put it in a 3D computer and turn their drawing into a walking dinasour. Pretty cool for kids. So this is a great place to spend a few hours. It's fun and educational at the same time.
