High Roller

The LINQ’s High Roller is currently the world’s tallest ferris wheel! In the interest of full disclose, we were given free passes ride the LINQ’s High Roller, since I was staying in Las Vegas in partnership with the LINQ hotel. That said, we loved every minute of our half an hour ride on the High Roller. Getting a view of the Las Vegas strip from above is unforgettable and such a cool photo op. It’s truly one of the most Instagrammable places in Las Vegas!

A Little White Chapel

You can get married in their drive-thru Tunnel of Love, or head into an indoor chapel and get married by an Elvis impersonator. If it’s good enough for Britney Spears, Frank Sinatra, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore and so many other famous couples (and former couples), it’s good enough for me!

The Linq Promenade

Since we were visiting Las Vegas in partnership with The LINQ hotel, we spent a lot of time on The LINQ promenade.

Plus they have a 24 hour Starbucks which kept us fueled during our long photoshoots!

Seven Magic Mountains

The Seven Magic Mountains are a colorful and vibrant large-scale art installation located about 10 miles south of Las Vegas. They are the creation of Ugo Rondinone, a Swiss artist. The Seven Magic Mountains were originally planned to be on display until the end of 2018. However, at the end of 2018, it was announced that the installation will remain on view until the end of 2021. So, if you’re dying to visit the Seven Magic Mountains, make sure to head there before they are taken down! You don’t want to drive out to the desert to find that this Instagrammable place in Las Vegas has been taken down!
