1. Greetings from Las Vegas Greetings Tour
Location: 1237 S Main St. on the corner of Colorado Ave.
This is the perfect mural to start off with. Take a picture in front of it to commemorate your vacation or to show that you’re a proud local. It’s a great alternative to waiting in front of the always crowded “Welcome to Las Vegas” sign on the Strip. Just as 2020 was ending, this was painted by Greetings Tour, a husband and wife team who travel the country in their RV creating these postcard style murals. They have murals in 21 states with the goal of painting in all 50.

2. Kevin Lyons for Life is Beautiful Festival 2017
Location: 1020 Fremont St. and 10th St.
Make some cute new friends in front of this mural. This wall full of colorful goofy characters is the perfect backdrop for an Instagram shot. Artist Kevin Lyons painted it for Life is Beautiful, the music festival that’s held annually in the streets downtown with big name headliners and local vendors, back in 2017.

3. Felipe Pantone 3D Mural
Location: 209 N 7th St. and Ogden Ave.
Multiple elements make this mural lots of fun. All of the geometric patterns make for awesome backgrounds, so play around with taking close up selfies or full view shots. The 3D lightning bolt is equipped with neon lights, so make sure to stop by again at night for a different view.

4. I Gave Her My Heart DFace
Location: 651 E Ogden Ave. and 7th St.
This is probably one of the most recognizable murals in downtown Vegas, as it was one the first to pop up back in 2013. Right next to the El Cortez Hotel it’s pretty hard to miss. The pop art, comic book style mural puts a dark spin on heartbreak.
