Pack your best outfits and get ready to level up your Instagram with this list of the best instagrammable places in Las Vegas, Nevada! I was able to get pictures in all these places in the short time that I was there and I have no doubt you will be able to as well!

Most of these places are walkable and easily accessible from the Strip. However, I also included some places that may require a car or short Uber ride.

1. Las Vegas Sign

This is probably the number one best instagrammable places in Las Vegas! You cannot go to Las Vegas and not get a photo at this iconic sign!

This location has become so popular that I was surprised to see that they actually have a whole parking lot built in the middle of the street for people to park at and walk to the sign safely. I’d say there is plenty of parking for everyone as the line moves fairly quickly and people are in and out of there just as fast.

I went around 10am and there was already a line, but from what I hear, there is usually always a line. Remember that this is the city that never sleeps. When we went, there was actually an unofficial person offering to take photos for you for tips.

A line forms to get a picture of the sign right in front of it, with the actual strip of casinos behind it. You can also get good photos from an angle if you don’t want to wait in line. But like I said, the lines moves pretty quickly! Whatever you decide, we noticed that everyone stayed on the side of the line so you don’t have to worry about anyone photobombing your shot.

Since the sign is in the middle of street, you will have a lot of people around you. Including cars of people driving by.

2. Seven Magic Mountains

Seven Magic Mountains is not technically in Las Vegas. It is about 15 minutes from The Strip and you will need either a vehicle or Uber to access. I also saw tour vans show up, so that’s another option to get there. And although it’s not technically in Vegas, I had to add it as one of the best instagrammable places in Las Vegas because this installation is so unique!

There are seven pillars made of different colored rocks stacked on top of each other. Each one is unique and creates a different profile depending on what angle you look at it.

Depending on what vibe you are going for, pay attention to the time of day as the sun and shadows really play a big part on how your photos will come out.

Seven Magic Mountains is next to the highway, but don’t worry! It is completely safe and far enough from the highway where you want have people gawking at you.

There is a parking lot there, but no restroom facilities or any other buildings. So come prepared and make sure you stay hydrated!

3. The Wynn

The Wynn is a hotel and casino located on the Strip close to the Fashion Square Mall. This hotel is beautiful and I’m sure you could find a lot of instragammable places around it, such as the waterfall right outside, but my favorite spot is inside.

Inside this hotel, there is a beautiful tree display, as well as a carousel made of flowers that you just have to take pictures at! The spheres are colorful and made of flowers and just create for a very whimsical background.

Then on the other side, you will find another display, also made of flowers. This side has a hot air balloon and some more spheres. Personally, I liked the walkway better, but just know that you have options!

Note that this is an actual walkway in the middle of the hotel so there can be a lot of people walking by or looking at you. There was moments that I had to wait for people to walk by before I could get my shot. But don’t worry about being in the way, there are a lot of other people who stop there to take photos as well.

The good thing about being in a hotel is that it is air conditioned and there is bathrooms if you want to do any outfit changes.

4. Steps at Fashion Show Mall

This is one the best instagrammable places in Las Vegas that I don’t hear being talked about as much. And I don’t know why because I love all the colors!

On one side of the Fashion Show Mall, there is a set of stairs that is painted from top to bottom and resembles a rainbow. The stairs are on the side opposite of Treasure Island and next to Maggiano’s Little Italy restaurant.

Depending on what colors you want in your background, you’ll have to play around with where to stand. I tried getting all the colors in and to do this I had to be close to the bottom and have the camera tilted up. I missed the colors at the very top, but overall I think the photo came out good!

Because this is in a public shopping mall, and outdoors, you can expect a lot of people to walk by. Luckily there is an escalator right next to the step and most people opt to take that instead of the stairs. However, if you go early in the morning, before the restaurants and shops open, you may be able to get this place to yourself!

5. The Bellagio Fountains

Oh the iconic Bellagio fountains! You know this had to be included in the best instagrammable places in Las Vegas! However, I have to be honest, getting a photo with the fountains going off in the background proved to be quite hard for me!

The Bellagio Fountains are one of the free shows in Vegas that you can enjoy!

The fountains shows are every 30 minutes, between 3pm to 7pm Monday through Friday and every 15 minutes from 7pm to midnight. On weekends, the fountains run every 30 minutes from noon to 7pm and every 15 minutes from 7pm to midnight. This is when most people are out and trying to get photos and videos of the fountain show themselves.

I think if you played with angles though, like maybe from the Bellagio facing the Strip, you might be able to get less people in your photos.

Alternatively, you could dine at one of the restaurants inside the Bellagio with fountain views and get a pretty cool photo that way! I recommend Lago.

6. The Bellagio Conservatory

The Bellagio Conservatory was probably my favorite of the best instragammable places in Las Vegas!

I feel like the Conservatory has been blowing up thanks to social media. That’s where I first heard about it!

What I love about the Bellagio Conservatory and what makes it my favorite instagrammable places in Las Vegas is that it changes every season! That means that you can go time and time again and the chances of it being something different are high. I went during the Spring time and you can see how they used all the pretty bright colors.

Also I love flowers, so I love how creative they get with it and all the amazing things they do. Follow the Bellagio on Instagram or check out their website to see what their exhibit is going to look like when you visit.

But be warned, it is a lot smaller than it looks and it can get busy! I definitely suggest trying to go as early as possible.

7. Gondolas at The Venetian

Going to the Las Vegas Strip is like taking a world tour. From the Eiffel Tower of Paris to the gondolas of Venice canals, you really do get to see everything!

The gondolas are located right in front of the Grand Canal Shoppes of the Venetian Resort. You can’t miss them if you are walking on the Strip!

There seems to be a new gondola ride every 30ish minutes so the likelihood of you getting one in the background of your photos is pretty high. That is why the gondolas made it in the list of best instagrammable places in Las Vegas.

There wasn’t a lot of people taking photos of the gondolas when i was there, but they are directly in the Strip so there will be a lit of people walking by. Luckily, there’s a lot of different angles you can play with away from the crowd.

For even better pictures, take a ride on one of the gondolas yourself. I hear they sometimes sing to you!

8. The “Trevi Fountain” at Caesar’s Palace

Can’t make it to Italy to get a picture at the famous Trevi Fountain? Not to worry, Las Vegas has their own little version of it. And the best part? There is not a lot of people making it impossible to take a picture and that’s what makes it one of the best instragrammable places in Las Vegas!

You can find the “Trevi Fountain” right outside of Caesar’s Palace as you are walking on your way to the Bellagio. It is outside of the Forum Shops entrance. You really can’t miss it if you are walking along the Strip.

Getting a picture here isn’t hard because not everyone is stopping for a photo, and if they are, they are fast about it. However, since it is right on the Strip, there will be A LOT of people walking by.

9. The Chandelier at Cosmopolitan

I know we have all seen all the influencers mark their visit to Las Vegas by posting a photo of them in front of the gorgeous chandelier inside of the Cosmopolitan. That is why this is one of the best instagrammable places in Las Vegas!

This is an indoor chandelier hanging in the middle of the Cosmopolitan.What I didn’t know before going is that its actually a bar!

Now because everyone is trying to get a photo of this very popular spot, you will have to wait to get a photo. Also because it is right in the middle of the hotel, there is a lot people walking by.

However, because this thing is so huge, you can get a photo from different levels of the hotel and from different angles.

My suggestion, try getting a drink at the actual bar inside of the chandelier and get photos from the inside. I definitely want to do this next time I go!

10. The Neon Museum

The Neon Museum is about 15minutes drive from The Strip, but I just had to include it as one of the best instagrammable places in Las Vegas because the signs here are iconic to Vegas.

The Neon Museum is where old hotel and casino signs go to retire. You can find signs from different eras and places, not just from the Strip.

You do have to pay to get into the museum and everything is outside. There are different tickets depending on when you want to go and what you want to do.

We went an hour before they closed and had the place almost to ourselves!

If you go during the day, the signs will not be on. However, if you go once the sun sets, they do turn on some of the signs.

Tripods are not allowed so make sure to take a friend! And stay hydrated out there!

11. Area 15

Area 15 is a big warehouse with different immersive installations. You will need a reservation to get in, however reservations are free. You have to pay to enter each installation once you are in there, as each one is unique. The most popular one is Meow Wolf and is full of instagrammable places.

I didn’t do any of the installations but I did go inside Area 15 itself. There is a beautiful lit up tree right in the middle that is actually a bar. It’s free to go inside and you can still get some really cool pictures!

I personally didn’t take any pictures inside because it is very dark, their vibe is neon colors/glow in the dark and I prefer bright colorful pictures. However, there is still some cool places to take pictures outside.

Because of the nature of Area 15, taking photos is expected so have fun and shoot away!



I hope you found some inspiration for the best instagrammable places in Las Vegas and get some amazing photos! I did a lot of research before my trip and I’m so glad I had the chance to go visit these spots!
