One of the most peaceful, magical things I’ve ever done. Words can’t describe the absolute wonder I felt experiencing this installation with my eyes both open and closed. So deeply moved and relaxed all in one.

A true treasure in Vegas and a delightful refuge from the clamouring sounds of the casino. Books months in advance so plan early.

So so cooool.Located inside Louis Vuitton. Call for reservations a month out. Tell any employee when you come in that you’re here for Akhob and they’ll direct you to wait at the bottom of the escalator by and old sales trunk. Someone will come get you and take you up to the exhibit. Entire experience lasts 25 minutes - actual exhibit is 15.

A big breath of space and color. The experience itself feels very exclusive and special, because it is. As others have mentioned, its recommended to book well in advance. Its just one phone call, and its free.

This semi secret art installation is amazing. If you are interested, the Atlas Obscura article linked as their website in Maps will tell you all you need to know. You really do need to book well in advance and the exhibit is free. Youll be asked to remove your shoes because you walk into the exhibit. The installation is two chambers of complete white, illuminated with changing colors. The larger chamber becomes an overwhelming, vast expanse as some of the colors change. Its an incredible experience, lasting about 20 minutes. Please be mindful of the guests you are with. The other two people in our group were so loud and talked the entire time. It was very annoying.

The only way to make an appointment is by calling. The usual waiting time to see this installation is over 30 days but due to a cancellation we managed to get in the very next day. The Crystals mall offers free valet parking and is architecturally very interesting inside and out, plan to spend some time just walking around. The Akhob installation location is not marked, you need to wait on the first floor of the Louis Vuitton shop for someone to come and escort you. The exhibit itself is difficult to describe but definitely worth seeing. Photography is prohibited. Be prepared to take your shoes off (white, plastic booties provided) and stand or move around for about 25 minutes. After you exit, you can go see another James Turrell installation at the tram station on the third floor of the mall (not nearly as impressive as Akhob), or sip coffee at Starbucks on the second floor with a view of the malls interesting interior.

Simply amazing. A must see. You must book over a month in advance but it is free.

One of the most amazing art installations ever. The staff are friendly but the one who explained the exhibit to us was robotic and stiff and had clearly memorized the script and was awkwardly reciting it to us. But whatever, once youre inside its magic. I made the reservation exactly one month before I was going to Vegas; there were plenty of time slots available, though, so you might have more wiggle room.

Super cool experience - I definitely recommend this as a 30-min break from the hustle and noise of Vegas. Calling ahead is a must, and be sure to be there on time. Two people were late for our time slot and we started without them!

Beautiful artwork. I loved the feeling of being immersed in color. The ~45 min tour is free and worth the visit. Just be sure to make an appointment at least a month in advanced.

I make it a point to find art in every city I visit, and when I find something so amazing that I would travel just to see it, I know I’ve done my job. Akhob is exactly that magnitude of art. To say that it is a unique and highly personal experience is quite an understatement. Call and make an appointment at least a month in advance, availability is limited. The visit begins in the lobby of the store. The staff is charming and kind as they lead you through the other art pieces on display throughout the store. You are then asked to sign a waiver and remove your shoes before you visit Akhob. The experience of space, surrounded by silence, light, and mystery, is the stuff dreams are made of. And amazingly...this experience is free. If you can’t make it to Akhob, be sure to check out the other Turrell installation in the building. It is always open to the public.
