Best Vegas Instagram Art Installations

Las Vegas has serious art hiding in casino lobbies and courtyards, and this guide maps the most photogenic pieces for locals and visitors who want shots beyond the Welcome sign. Stops run along the Strip, west to AREA15 and Palms, and downtown to Fremont Street and Symphony Park.

Big Rig Jig at Fergusons Downtown is Mike Ross's 40-plus-foot tower of two bent tanker trucks from Burning Man. Nancy Rubins' Big Edge bursts with more than 200 salvaged boats in Harmon Circle near Aria, best seen on foot from the sidewalk. At Symphony Park, each colored pipe of Tim Bavington's Pipe Dream stands for a note of Copland's Fanfare for the Common Man, with The Smith Center's Art Deco facade behind it. Order a drink at the Unknown Bar to shoot the Hirst shark overhead, and visit the free Bellagio Conservatory early in the morning to beat the crowds.
