Nostalgia coffee slc7/27/2023 The food at the Bar and Grill is an overachieving combination of burgers, sandwiches, and salads with views overlooking the course. The quality of the grounds may depend on the time of year, but the course was beautifully designed by Tom Fazio, a name that means something to true golfers. It first welcomed customers in 1997 and is still active – almost surprisingly so. In a two-for-one deal, the plant is next to the Primm Valley Golf Club, a 36-hole golf course that's truly an oasis in the desert with trees and a spring-fed pond. Feel free to pull over at the Yates Well Road exit to get a closer look. The installation looks like something straight out of Star Wars with a sea of mirrors in circular patterns reflecting the power of the sun toward three towers. Just south of the Nevada-California state line, you'll catch a glimpse of the Ivanpah Solar Electric Generating System, the second-largest solar thermal power station in the world. Photo courtesy of Terrible Herbst (Terrible's Road House) It's estimated more than 300,000 people visit Seven Magic Mountains each year. The installation, unveiled in 2016, was originally only meant to be in place for a couple of years but has settled in as a long-term piece of the desert scenery. Visitors are encouraged to check out Seven Magic Mountains between sunrise and sunset because there aren't any lights around it at night. In other words, you have to care enough to go out of your way to see it. Seven Magic Mountains is between two interstate exits and at least a five-mile drive from either of them. The exhibit isn't super convenient either, which is probably by design. But it's definitely a photo spot and conversation piece. Is it beautiful? Depends on your perspective. The art installation was created by Ugo Rondinone and commissioned by the Nevada Museum of Art ( in Reno, actually). It's Seven Magic Mountains, a rainbow-colored assortment of rocks stacked in columns more than 30 feet high. There's something odd on the desert horizon about 15 miles south of Vegas.
