This rock formation is smack in the middle of a residential neighborhood. I doubt the people living right around it have any idea this formation has an unofficial name or online status. Made for a fun side excursion & photo opp on a day of seeing "Rocks" (I also stopped at Red Rock Canyon and Bell Rock that day) but only if you truly have the time to wander out of your way for a 5-10 minute stop.
One of the more fun stops I made along my recent cross-country trek, and a great conversation piece. It's in the middle of nowhere but worth the drive; the size of it has to be seen to be believed. The family that started it has kept track of every single person that has applied a layer to the ball including the date and color, by having you sign into the guestbook. You're offered a variety of colors to choose from, with the only stipulation being that you have to paint a different one from the last. I chose teal, which upon a quick check by the wife hadn't been used in over a 100 layers. Calling ahead was easy and they were very accommodating with the time; I arrived there around 7pm and there was another pair of people coming about an hour after me. Thanks to the internet they get visitors from all over the world.
This ended up being my first stop on a cross-country roadtrip west. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the front desk offered up complementary cookies. The room was one of the best I encountered along my route, in terms of cleanliness, comfort, amenities and size for a hotel of this level of accommodation. The continental breakfast offered was decent as well. As mentioned in the official description it's very close to a large mall with a number of dining and shopping options.
