Seven magic Mountains is a short walk and well worth it. It's a little south of the strip but if you have a car, it's definitely worth the drive. The path from the parking lot is flat and gravel so it's easy getting there. Just be aware if you're going in the summer take lots of water as there's no shade and it gets very hot. Definitely check this out if you're near Vegas, it won't take much time and you'll be glad you did read more

I finally made it to the Seven Magic Mountains to satisfy my curiosity and check it off my list. Located in a rural area south of Vegas, this site is the destination for everyone visiting. Most people stayed only long enough to take a couple of pictures then left. I can't help but wonder how many said to themselves that I'm glad I came. These stone sculptures were commissioned by Neveda Museum of Art and opened in May 2016. I can't say I understand their reasons and intentions for this public artwork. To each their own. read more

This was pretty cool to stop and take a look at. Its definitely a one time thing for me and worth it if your visiting Las Vegas. The rocks are well kept and the colors are vibrant. There was plenty of parking and a food truck out front when we stopped by. It was also super windy, hot, and dusty. Very cool! Wish they had a gift shop read more

Seven Magic Mountains is an art installation in the Mojave Desert about 25 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. It was built in 2016 by Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone and is a set of 7 structures of colorful limestone boulders. You can see it from far away because there's nothing obstructing it other than vast desert. We went really early in the morning and there were only a few people here, but in the middle of the day it can get really busy. It's only a stop you make for a couple minutes to take pictures, but it's a point of interest if you're going to or from Vegas. read more

Always see this place on the way to and from Las Vegas, but have only stopped here a couple times and was super happy to share the experience with my daughters this time! You can't miss the bright colored rock formations from the freeway, and you'll exit the freeway and travel a bit to get to this spot. There's a dirt lot for parking and it tends to be windy. There aren't any facilities that I noticed. My youngest is really into art, so I knew she'd get a kick out of these! It was a nice little spot to take a break from our road trip. read more

Seven Magic Mountains - Very cool contrast - Public Art Near Me - Las Vegas, Nevada

Somewhat mystifying, larger-than-life, and a Free attraction is Seven Magic Mountains by artist Ugo Rondinone. These seven neon colored stacked boulder towers (each boulder between 10 and 25 tons) are located in the middle of nowhere. This art installation symbolizes the meeting between nature and the artificial. Stacked like stone cairns, these shouldn't be as captivating as they are, but it brings out a childlike wonder, and everyone who sees them marvels at them. These have faded somewhat (I was also here in 2019 so I posted some of those pictures too). This work was supposed to be relocated in 2024 but I think now it will become permanent. You will need a car/transportation to view this. There was a food truck nearby but otherwise no facilities. read more

+ Bring your ice cream cones! Giant colorful rocks stacked like ice cream scoops - yum! + Popular photoshoot pit stop on the way to Vegas. - Hot and dry. + Nice there's a food truck and a porta-potty in the parking lot that day though. + Crowded. . News keep circulating that they're gonna tear this exhibit down. Thankfully this motion keeps getting postponed, cuz this attraction remains a resplendent respite for many a long road trip between towns. read more

Located 15-20 min just past the M Resort Casino on S Las Vegas Blvd. This is one of those things to see just to say you have been there done that. Most see these massive rock art sculptures from the 15 if you're driving in from California to Las Vegas. Life is about creating memories from different sights & things whether it's exciting or just plain boring :) Last day playing tour guide 62226 read more

After about 10 years of driving past this art installation off the 15, we finally made it for a visit! I am an avid collector of heart shaped rocks and I'm a huge fan of doing rock stacks on every hike I do. This place is so simple, yet so fascinating and it was so much fun to take pictures. Even with people in the background of my pictures, they were able to be edited out with the iPhone "clean up" feature so it literally looks like we were there all by ourselves. We had fun taking silly pictures and my youngest ran around making rock stacks before we left. Highly recommend for a cool, free, family fun activity. I've read rumors of it being moved locations or even being demoed to expand the airport, I hope this isn't the case due to its popularity and it stays put! read more

About a 30-minute drive from the Strip, Seven Magic Mountains is definitely worth a quick stop. The colorful rock formations are really cool to see up close, and it's impressive how they're stacked and balanced on each other. When we visited now, it wasn't too busy compared to September, when the crowds were a lot bigger. The only downside was seeing graffiti on one of the rocks -- it's frustrating that people feel the need to ruin something so unique. Overall, still a great spot for photos and a short scenic visit while in Vegas. read more

The Seven Magic Mountains is a free to visit public art installation that is on the way to the main Las Vegas Blvd area, just off interstate 15. It features 7 massive towers of colorfully painted, stacked boulders. It's truly an impressive feat. Like how was the artist able to stack these massive rocks while achieving such stability?? I went on a Friday evening, and there weren't a lot of people. Parking was plentiful. Do note that the entire pathway is dusty and sandy, so I recommend wearing a pair closed-toe shoes that you don't mind getting dirty. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed my visit here. I hope the art installation is able to stay there for a long time to come. read more

Seven Magic Mountains is a free attraction, so no need to book in advance! There's parking available on-site, including two handicap spots. Just a heads-up, there aren't any restrooms nearby. The path to the Seven Magic Mountains is unpaved, so bring shoes that you're okay with getting a bit dirty. Keep an eye on the weather--it can be hot, cold, rainy, or windy. It can get crowded, so be ready for other people in your photos! Worth the quick trip to see you're heading to Las Vegas or back to California. read more

If you are driving into Vegas from California, this is an easy stop right off of the 15 right before you enter the city. It's one of the many quirky roadside art attractions that you can find in the southwest, especially when you get close to Route 66. As you would guess they are seven different towers compiled of colored boulders. There is a free parking lot attached and it's a very short walk to the rocks. It can get quite crowded at times so it's very hard to get a picture without any people in it but this is a fun little roadside stop that is good for people of all ages. Especially if you've been traveling for a while and need to stretch your legs. There are not any bathrooms or retail spots on site, but there are gas stations not that far. I would recommend. read more

It's a bunch of stacked colored rocks off the side of the road in the desert. Outside of Vegas. Vegas. Where tacky thrives. It was a fun little side trip to get away from the second hand smoke that lingers over the strip. I was mostly offended by all the people who found it necessary to try to climb the towers to get photos. Assholes. read more

Nice wonder to see i didn't stay long as I was on a road trip ready to get to my destination yet the road to this site is super convenient and not crowded at all. In the midst of a dusty brown desert this pop of color is truly magical. It does remind me of gum from under a desk or a nice scoop of ice cream. I've seen it online a lot and been to Vegas often and never had a chance to see it. So it was pretty cool to see this colorful art in person. read more

Parking can be a nightmare if the tour buses are there, or if there is a race that day. It is exactly as it looks from 15, just...bigger. Since it's not clearly marked, you CAN keep going south on the frontage road down to Jean/Primm, but it is not well maintained--but this way you don't have to backtrack up to Speed Vegas to get back to 15. People are decent about letting everyone take turns for photos, the rocks are well kept and maintained. However, it is in my opinion a bit overrated, and would suggest instead you located Rondinone's negative space exhibit which is not far from this for a more unusual photo op. read more

This spot was busy with lots of people and parking, but it's definitely worth a visit while in Las Vegas. It's about 15 minutes off the Strip, and the colorful installations set against the desert landscape make for a really cool experience. A great combination of art and nature! read more

Seven Magic Mountains in Summer = Brutal but Beautiful Taking a detour to Seven Magic Mountains in the summer is no joke we went around 10:00 AM and it was already 110 degrees and packed with people. If you're visiting during the hotter months, try to come early or wait for cooler weather. Heads up: there are no restrooms on site, but during our visit, there was an ice cream truck parked nearby (lifesaver!). About 2-3 miles south, you'll find gas stations if you need a break. And seriously if you're visiting, please don't leave your trash or vandalize the rocks. It's so disrespectful to the space and everyone else trying to enjoy read more

A large scale desert Artwork by internationally renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone is located approximately 10 miles south of Las Vegas strip. I have been wanting to check out this installation but we never have the need to rent a car, until this time around. The name "Seven Magic Mountains" comes from the artist. Seven towers of colorful boulders. Magic suggests a sense of wonder and enchantment. The boulders are stacked and form the appearance of small mountains. It is free and open to the public. No admission fee to visit but you can make a donation on their website. No restroom facilities or other amenities at the site. Fantastic place to take pictures! read more

We really enjoyed our visit to Ugo Rondinone Seven Magic Mountains art work. I was amazed at how many people were here. It is free to visit. They just ask to keep the site clean. They ask for a donation if interested. The Seven Magic Mountains is comprised of seven towers of colorful, stacked boulders standing more than 30 feet high. Hubby said that he read the stones have a spiritual meaning. I'm not sure, but I do know that it has a huge visitation rate. We enjoyed it. read more

The Seven Magic Mountains are on the way to The Strip in Las Vegas, less than thirty minutes drive away. It connects the nature and culture, and creates a dialogue between the natural desert and the artificial establishment, where the natural form of the rocks interact with their artificial paint. It's best to visit during weekdays and in the morning, and it's super crowded during weekend afternoons. The unpaved parking lot can get full sometimes, and it takes a few minutes walk from the lot the rocks. read more

Cut and pasted from their website: "Renowned Swiss artist Ugo Rondinone's colorful large-scale, public artwork Seven Magic Mountains is an exhibition located in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring seven, 30 to 35-feet high dayglow totems comprised of painted, locally-sourced boulders." Quality/Quantity - We drive by this every trip... We/I have been wanting to visit them forever. So glad we just got here, right before sunset. The drive took longer than expected from CA. Beautiful, thank you. See pictures. Atmosphere - Cool art installation. The restrooms could be nicer, but I get this is free, so we were not being greedy. Fairly easy drive off of the freeway. I suggest still using GPS. Dirt/gravel parking lot. Short (dusty) walk to the Seven Magic Mountains. Service - Self service. Price - Free. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 2016, and thank you again for providing such a nice free stop. read more

Seven Magic Mountains honestly feels like proof that aliens have a sense of humor. Bright stacked rocks in the middle of the desert, so random but somehow perfect. It was the first stop on my road trip. The cloudy weather and light rain threw me off at first, but seeing it in person still felt great and checking something off my list always hits differently. The colors stand out even on a gray day and the whole place has this weirdly fun energy. It's a quick stop but definitely worth it. Small tips from me, charge your phone and expect dusty shoes. Early hours are usually calmer. A fun and memorable stop, glad I made it. read more
