The famous downtown Las Vegas music festival is turning into a two-night affair in its first year of sole ownership by Rolling Stone.
Music
On a Vegas weeknight, Lady Gaga’s “Jazz + Piano” show returned to Park MGM, and Flavor Flav joined Brian Newman on stage at NoMad Library.
Megan Thee Stallion, “Loud & Proud” wrestling, Las Vegas Restaurant Week and the Punk Rock Tattoo Expo top this week’s lineup.
Spots where Elvis Presley reflected and Frank Sinatra reclined are among the hidden spaces, places and items to be found in Las Vegas theaters.
The Sphere’s Jim Dolan says of the famous Las Vegas venue’s audiovisual technology: “We’ve only scratched the surface.”
Ashley McBryde was a featured performer at the Next From Nashville stage on Sept. 29, the festival’s opening night during the event that ended with the tragic Oct. 1 shooting
Wayne Newton made a slight reference to a “Frances” in the audience during his preview opening Monday night at Cleopatra’s Barge at Caesars Palace.
Christina Aguilera is the next headliner to be announced at Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood In Las Vegas. Aguilera herself announced the first 16 dates herself — briefly — on Monday.
Saturday night in Las Vegas, Chris Rock and Flea from Red Hot Chili Peppers hit the new speakeasy/club/cool hang On The Record after the Lady Gaga’s rollicking “Enigma” performance (when Bradley Cooper sauntered to the stage to sing “Shallow”).
“We are teaching the next great musicians, and promoting jazz as a true American art form,” UNLV Jazz Studies department head and conductor Dave Loeb says. “It seems Lady Gaga is, too.”
The Aussie quartet of Phil Burton, Toby Allen and brothers Andrew and Mike Tierney, are not planning to move anywhere soon, either. The foursome last week signed a three-year extension running through March 2022.
Comic magician Mike Hammer says,“I hope the government re-opens soon, not only for the workers, but if I give away too many tickets, I might be looking for a job”.
Cardi B. has created a maelstrom with her politically charged Instagram posts blasting President Trump (talk-show host Stephen Colbert started a social-media petition to draft her to deliver the rebuttal to the State of the Union address, whenever it happens).
The still-telegenic John Davidson, toting a guitar and in fine voice, remains a popular draw as a cabaret act. His act is storytelling, singing and strumming.
Flavor Flav can be called a one-man variety show, so it’s fitting his latest adventure in Las Vegas is indeed a variety show.
