The Other Side Of Las Vegas
Las Vegas, Nevada is commonly known as the entertainment capital of the Earth, Sin City, The City of Luck – a tourist’s “free-for-all” and a place that permits access to most anything your heart wishes.
Many would accept that it is maybe the most unlikely place for historic sites or non secular landmarks. But accept it or not, settled upon the dusty Nevada desert – there are a large number of Las Vegas Religious Landmarks. Below is a listing of things to see next time you are in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The Replica of Michelangelo’s Pieta
One of the most notable EU canonical works, Michelangelo’s Pieta, can be seen at the Our Lady of Las Vegas Church located on 3050 Alta Drive, 89107. The replica of the famous statue depicts the Virgin Mary carrying in her lap the battered Jesus – her sorrowful expression still reflects the love for her only begotten son. This intensely moving piece of art work is reproduced with outstanding precision and eye to detail.
Viewing the piece is free to the general public and it should definitely be seen by anyone visiting the city of Las Vegas.
The LDS Mormon Church located on the East side
Located on 827 Temple View Drive, 89110, the LDS Mormon Church/Church is one of the most breathtaking pieces of architecture in all the town. The Mormon church is built in a more Western European medieval and conventional style design with soaring spires and fantastic sculptures of angels aligning the roof tops. Just about unknown to the tourists of Las Vegas, the LDS Mormon church sits atop a hill on the eastern side of the town opposite to Frenchman’s mountain. From this location you can view the entire Las Vegas valley: the Las Vegas strip, the city of Summerlin and lots more. When the sun sets, the lights of the church illuminate disclosing the structure in all its heavenly glory. For full info on visiting the location, be sure to call (702) 452-5011 to timetable a single or group attendance meeting to investigate the church grounds. An awe-inspiring and almost astronomical experience awaits you at the LDS Mormon church of Las Vegas.

Located on 7925 Virtue Court, 89139, this Buddhist church is situated close to the mountains and rock formations that create the Red Rock Canyon making it a quiet and tranquil location to meditate and to get a breath of fresh air.
