00:05That looks so cool.

00:07It's amazing.

00:08All right, we gotta tell you what we're talking about

00:09because I saw this actually when we were in Chicago.

00:12I looked down and the New York Times

00:14is talking about this new sculpture

00:15that's outside of Las Vegas.

00:17I'm like, there's a what?

00:19Right, right.

00:20Now, Seven Magic Mountains,

00:22it's no small feat.

00:24I mean, these are very heavy boulders.

00:25Just kind of popped out of nowhere almost.

00:28This has been happening over the past 50 years.

00:33Yeah.

00:33About 100 and some odd miles north of the Las Vegas Valley.

00:37It's called the City Sculpture.

00:39And after 50 years,

00:41this artist, Michael Heiser,

00:43is going to release the City Sculpture on the world.

00:48Try to explain what you're seeing right now.

00:50It looks almost like sand dunes,

00:54but then also like pyramid-type things popped up.

00:58I don't know.

00:58Yeah.

00:59It looks like an alien sort of life form.

01:01Yeah, yeah, for sure.

01:02It's unbelievable.

01:03We're talking about the things in Las Vegas

01:05in the greater Southern Nevada area

01:07that you just love, like getting outdoors to see.

01:10That's like so unique to Vegas.

01:13702-597-1027.

01:15So this guy's been working on this now for a long time.

01:18$40 million over 50 years to build this.

01:23It is a mile and a half long.

01:25It's in the middle of nowhere.

01:27It's so crazy.

01:28It's directly north of us.

01:30And for what, right?

01:31Like what?

01:32He's an artist.

01:33Yeah.

01:33But he, like, I didn't,

01:35I have lived here for 16 years, 17 years.

01:38I did not know this was happening.

01:40Yeah, same.

01:41Unreal.

01:41I had no idea.

01:42But that, it's so, so cool.

01:43And, you know, when we were walking to the,

01:47or from the Navy Pier in Chicago,

01:50we were talking about how you don't,

01:54like we were like appreciating the bridges

01:56and the, you know, all this stuff.

01:58And it's like,

01:58why don't you appreciate the things where you live?

02:00Yeah.

02:00And I really do try to.

02:02Like we go up to Mount Charleston.

02:04Love.

02:05We go to Red Rock.

02:05Love.

02:06And it's just,

02:08you always try to just remember like,

02:10wow, it's pretty cool to live here.

02:11It's so cool.

02:12I mean, you can get everything you could ever desire.

02:14You want hiking.

02:15You want snow.

02:16You want to see hieroglyphs.

02:18You want to go on the water,

02:19at least for now.

02:20You know, there's, there's,

02:21there's something for everybody,

02:22but this is absolutely outstanding.

02:23That's so cool.

02:24This artist is now 77 years old.

02:27His health is flat, not doing really well.

02:30And he says,

02:31this is a masterpiece or close to it.

02:32And I'm,

02:33I'm the only one who cares

02:34whether or not this thing is actually done.

02:37This is going to end up being like an Instagram,

02:40like it's going to be bananas.

02:41Yeah.

02:42And it's almost,

02:45it can't be like,

02:46it's like,

02:47I won't say it can't be defaced,

02:48but like,

02:48it's so big.

02:50Right.

02:50And massive.

02:51It's phenomenal.

02:52You can't deface this thing.

02:54Like you can't knock it down.

02:55That's crazy.

02:56It's unbelievable.

02:57And I mean,

02:58like,

02:59like he said right there,

03:00I'm the only one that cares if it's done or not,

03:02because nobody had any idea.

03:03No one had a clue.

03:04Your marketing team stinks.

03:06But now it's going all right.

03:09I'm a fool alone,

03:10helplessly watching as they wait for me to die.

03:12So they can turn my ranch into a gift shop.

03:15Oh my God.

03:15And motel.

03:16This guy is such a downer.

03:18But then when you see what he created,

03:19it's unbelievable.

03:22The population of this area that he built it is 5,100.

03:26Wow.

03:26And it's,

03:27it's literally,

03:28you're going to need an all wheel drive vehicle to get to it.

03:30Right.

03:31It's bananas.

03:32That,

03:33so a three hour drive from North Las Vegas.

03:36And Garden Valley,

03:37which is another place I did not know existed.

03:39Same.

03:39Yeah,

03:39yeah,

03:39there we go.

03:40So when is it going to be done?

03:41It's like,

03:42I think next month,

03:44you're going to be able to go to this thing.

03:45There's just,

03:46you know,

03:47there's certain things like,

03:48when was the last time you were at Springs Preserve?

03:50Hmm.

03:51Have you ever been to Springs Preserve?

03:52Yeah.

03:53But I mean,

03:53probably 10 years.

03:55Love Springs Preserve.

03:56Going for that hike a little through,

03:58it's just the path that they have.

03:59It's amazing.

04:00Yeah.

04:01Red Rock Canyon,

04:02like people that want to go to Grand Canyon,

04:04but they're only here for three days.

04:06Right.

04:06I'm like,

04:06save your time.

04:07Yeah,

04:08go to Red Rock.

04:08It's a hole in the ground.

04:09Go to Red Rock.

04:10It's like,

04:10well,

04:10I've never been west of Cleveland.

04:12Yeah.

04:13They go and they're just,

04:14their mind explodes.

04:16Yeah.

04:16It's so awesome.

04:17Do you ever hike?

04:18Are you a hiker?

04:19I mean,

04:19we do.

04:20We go every once in a while.

04:22I guess we go in spurts.

04:24Like sometimes we'll hike like every weekend in the spring or fall or whatever.

04:28And then we won't go for a year and a half.

04:30Spring Mountain Ranch Park.

04:32Have you been there?

04:33I don't think so.

04:33Okay.

04:34Okay.

04:34Spring Mountain Ranch Park's another one.

04:36It's right near Red Rock Canyon.

04:38And they have this,

04:39this path that like,

04:40you know,

04:41it's obviously desert terrain,

04:42but then all of a sudden you go in and it's like these plants out of nowhere.

04:47It does not look like you're,

04:49you're in another galaxy.

04:51It looks like you're in the plant section at a Home Depot.

04:53Yeah.

04:53Like how did,

04:54how,

04:55how,

04:55how did this happen?

04:56It's just does not belong,

04:58but yet it belongs.

04:59It's amazing.

05:00That's so cool.

05:01Yeah.

05:01I love that.

05:01I mean,

05:02you know,

05:02we like to do,

05:03um,

05:04Lone Mountain.

05:05That's such a good hike.

05:07Nevermind.

05:07Just,

05:08I mean,

05:08and I think it's called Lone Mountain because it's really just by itself.

05:11You're in the Northwest.

05:12I've passed it.

05:13Yeah.

05:13I've never gotten out to climb it.

05:14Yeah.

05:14I was like,

05:14wow,

05:15that looks climbable,

05:16but I never do it.

05:17We have our own mountain and mountain's edge.

05:18I've been at it twice and I get really tired.

05:20It hurts my feet.

05:21I'm not a big fan.

05:22I can just drive past it.

05:23Oh,

05:23there it is.
