Are you looking to see real trees and real grass. You know real life! Let's plan a trip here ! They have a walking down town. We park, no problem right! The parking, "it's free." You can go into a real museum and it's free too. Now the monster museum is not free. But as you wander through the streets of downtown Boulder it's worthy! No casinos! No gambling! Just the best of gambling! All the luck if the past and it's preservation! Grab that one that's special and make it's a day! The twins loved the history too. Eat and be local! It's the best be a tourist in your own town.

Really loved exploring and seeing all the bronze statues and reading about what each statue honored. Art murals and metal art gardens were plentiful too. The Historic Downtown area has darling boutique and souvenir shops, scrumptious cafes, and coffee shops. There's a small, nicely put together town museum that tells the story of the men and women who braved the desolation of the southern Nevada desert to build Hoover Dam and settle Boulder City, too. Definitely enjoyed our visit to Boulder City and highly recommend!

I am so glad that I discovered this business. I have always been interested in learning about how…read moreblown glass is fused and created. I reached out to this business and sadly learned that there are no places in town that teach this skill. This business does offer other classes working with fused glass so I decided to sign up for one. The cost for my class was only $40 which I thought was very reasonable. Although I am not in this part of town often, the studio was easy to find parking was plentiful in their lot. This business is broken into two areas. When you enter, you are in the gallery and there are various artists featured along with their pieces. Very impressive. In the back of the studio is where all the glass art is created. There are kilns, tools, workbenches etc. My friend and I signed up to create a colorful heart this past Saturday morning. We were warmly greeted by Don who checked us in and then we patiently waited for the class to begin. Barbara and Larry (owners) took us back into the working part of the studio and we all found our places around two tables. Since we were handling glass, we had to wear gloves for safety. The purpose of the class was to create a mosaic style heart/paperweight. There were two large trays at each table filled with colorful, fused glass. After trying various sizes of the glass, I was finally able to finish creating my design and considered my heart masterpiece completed. Larry was extremely informative and helpful throughout the class as was Barbara. I learned from Larry about their extensive involvement with our community. They had just recently held an event for the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation. I love a small business that gives back and it makes me want to support them even more. Both Barbara and Larry display a real passion for what they do and enjoy sharing it with others. Larry expressed to me how addicting creating this kind of art an be and I totally believe him. After our hearts were created, they would now be placed in the kiln for firing. Barbara advised all of us that as soon as our hearts were ready, we would be notified and able to pick them up. I have been looking for a creative outlet and I believe I will be back taking more classes and learning more about working with fused glass.

Somewhat mystifying, larger-than-life, and a Free attraction is Seven Magic Mountains by artist Ugo…read moreRondinone. 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.

About a 30-minute drive from the Strip, Seven Magic Mountains is definitely worth a quick stop. The…read morecolorful 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.

While browsing through my Yelp app under "Local Flavor", I remembered seeing "The Wishing Tree", but didn't pay attention to the location because I didn't think we would be in the vicinity.

But if I keep going straight, that pathway goes through all the designer boutiques and accessories, and I end up shopping!

Golden Goose Tourist Attraction is an iconic statue in Downtown Las Vegas. You'll find it on the…read morecorner of Fremont and 10th street, right across from The Kitchen at Atomic. The story of the statue dates back to when it was the mascot of the short-lived Golden Goose Casino (April 1974-1980), which was located at 20 Fremont Street and owned by Herb Pastor. The casino was later converted into a gentleman's club called "The Girls of Glitter Gulch." Today, the whole section of Fremont Street have tremendously changed. It's fantastic that the Golden Goose statue was saved. Many of her eggs had been damaged and broken over the decades. It was restored with fresh paint and installed back on Fremont Street in November 2019. It's amazing how it looks at night! The Golden Goose is seen spinning on top of a small purple shipping container. It's wearing a cowboy hat and neckerchief, sitting on a nest of eggs, while holding one golden egg, and sparkling in the night.

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.

The space is not overly big, but it still felt cozy. It definitely has its own unique charm of tradition and family values. It is very clean and inviting. We have met the owner and he is very friendly , dedicated and truly passionate about his restaurant and the food that he cooks. A huge fact for us is that the pasta is actually homemade, Every day made from scratch, which is very rare these days at the restaurants. But you can definitely taste the difference. It's not overly processed or full of extra additives. The pasta has just the right amount of softness and al dente texture. The menu offers many different Italian favorites. We have ordered : The Cacio e Pepe , it was rich and decadent. The cheese used really made this dish so flavorful and filling. The chicken Marsala was also very delicious, definitely one of the best and most favorite dishes on the menu. We didn't have any desserts, because we were so full, but definitely next time we need to try pistachios and ricotta cake , - pistachios cream is my favorite , yummy !!! Overall: we had a great experience , It's a small business restaurant, but the owner is very passionate and does everything the right way, which is with care and dedication! We are so glad that we have tried this place and we would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone. They need our support as a small local business , because they are part of our community now.
