18 Best Things to Do in Las Vegas
"Vegas via I-15, 10 miles south of the Strip. The massive, 30-foot-high neon-painted limestone totems cut an incredible picture against the desert. The work looks like neon ice cream cones rising from the desert floor, but no, it's not part of the Neon Museum; it's an awe-inspiring installation, for sure, but in an otherworldly way. The work has been so popular that the Nevada Museum of Art, which commissioned the piece along with New York’s Art Production Fund, has already extended its stay several times (it opened in 2016 and had been scheduled to be dismantled in 2021). And while there’s a certain boy-who-cried-wolf quality to this artwork, which has been warning of its dismantling for years, this time it’s serious: its lease expires at the end of 2026, and because of the planned expansion of Harry Reid International Airport, it will have to move by then. So see it before it’s gone—really." - Andrea Bennett
