Is Las Vegas secretly one of America’s greatest art cities? In this witty and illuminating talk, museum leader Aaron Berger takes us on a whirlwind tour of high-end masterpieces hiding in plain sight - in lobbies, lounges, and even bars on the Las Vegas Strip. From Chihuly’s glass ceiling at the Bellagio to Damien Hirst’s infamous shark at the Palms, Berger challenges our ideas of where art belongs, and who it’s for.

Through personal anecdotes, cultural critique, and deep reverence for creativity, Berger makes the case that Sin City might just be the most accessible art city in the world, if we’re willing to look beyond the slots and shows.
