What’s Up, Doc? The Chuck Jones Experience

A Night at the Opera – Tosca in Las Vegas

A Night at the Opera – Tosca in Las Vegas


by Chad Felix

Let’s be honest; we haven’t exactly been fair to the opera.  The form, once a hugely popular and respected means of art and entertainment, has fallen out of favor in our time.  The question is “why?” …

A Museum-Goers Guide to Las Vegas

A Museum-Goers Guide to Las Vegas

By Chad Felix

It’s a scenario not all that uncommon: someone, be it a local or a visitor, critic or a layman, denounces the cultural scene of this, our neon town.  And sure, big name museums have never been…

The Beat Goes On and On – Local Sites for Musical Nights

The Beat Goes On and On – Local Sites for Musical Nights

By Chad Felix

In Las Vegas, good musical entertainment resonates far beyond the confines of the Strip and into our very own backyards.  It’s advertised on modest flyers; it hides in warm, local dives; and it’s calling out to fellow…

Lovin’ the Nightlife – “In the Dark” at Springs Preserve

Lovin’ the Nightlife – “In the Dark” at Springs Preserve

This Space is the Place – Emergency Arts

This Space is the Place – Emergency Arts

A Russian’s Dance in Vegas – The Nutcracker

A Russian’s Dance in Vegas – The Nutcracker

By Chad Felix

Tchaikovsky’s holiday season: visions of sugarplums and the mouse king; the waltzing of flowers and snowflakes; that magic castle and the iconic Nutcracker come to life.  Despite a lukewarm reception at its 1892 debut in St. Petersburg,…

Maestro, If You Please – The Las Vegas Philharmonic

Maestro, If You Please – The Las Vegas Philharmonic

By Lisha Ross

We got slots that jingle, jangle, jingle, but we wouldn’t exactly call it music. And until the Las Vegas Philharmonic delighted audiences with their first virtuoso performance on Independence Day 1998, few musical institutions existed to transcend…

Gateway Gallery – A Labor of Love

Gateway Gallery – A Labor of Love

By Lisha Ross

The Gateway to the Cultural Corridor, as the somewhat seedy area behind Stratosphere is known, may seem an unlikely locale for a gallery, and yet there it is. The Gateway Gallery Public Arts Collection began five years…

Entertainment Worth Saving – Super Summer Theatre

Entertainment Worth Saving – Super Summer Theatre

By Aly Wagonseller

It’s been a tough year for state legislators trying to balance a budget fraught with revenue losses from a declining tax base.  So tough that they considered closing down several state parks, including Spring Mountain Ranch, the…

Culture Through Collections

Culture Through Collections

By Lisha Ross

Life is culture. Living is learning. You can learn about it while surfing the History or Discovery channels. You can sift through various websites and take your best guess as to whether the information is accurate or…
