No, not Las Vegas, but Reno, Nevada. Reno has a bit of the Las Vegas vibe but is more influenced by the art scene of San Francisco. Reno is the closest airport to Lake Tahoe, so it gets a good bit of international activity due to world-class skiing/snowboarding/hiking/mountain biking/rock climbing/boating/fishing.

Downtown Reno is also a sculpture garden. Many Burningman sculptures, after their time on the playa, find a new home in the downtown area.

Reno is also full of building murals done by a local artist. I could do a whole blog on just murals. So much amazing art for free.

Whitney Peak hotel offers an outdoor climbing wall. Can you find the climber?

That is the great to have so many different attraction for tourists and just people. It was a good idea to let Artists to create something to make the city extraordinary, I like that climbing wall, but as to myself, probably would not have courage to climb it.

@stef1 Thank you, there is so much more to do in Nevada than gamble at the casino. That climbing wall is intense, with one route going all the way to the top of the building. Thanks for visiting Reno :) and the nomination.

Hello @eiafp!
I was impressed by the figure of the warrior. Is it really that big or does it look like that from the angle?

Hi @bambuka, yes, that sculpture is huge. I can stand under it. I need to get the artist information.

I am still on the road, taking lots of pictures but no time to edit. Cannot wait to share. :)

The main thing is not to rush and take care of yourself. Photos will not run anywhere.
Good luck to you :)

There is nothing wrong with being a gambling person. Many original cultures are built precisely on this. I can give Africa as an example. Many Africans consider supporting favorites in cockfights or football as part of their lives - https://1xbet.ie/en This is well received by society. I think that we should treat those native Americans who run such businesses in the same way.
