The colorful rock display was supposed to be around from 2016-2018 but the display was extended for another 3 years.

Ugo Rondinone, a renowned Swiss artist known for his colorful and large-scale displays, is the developer behind this exhibition located in the desert outside of Las Vegas, Nevada, featuring seven thirty to thirty-five-foot high dayglow totems comprised of painted, locally-sourced boulders with Jean Dry Lake as the backdrop.
