Hundreds take part in ‘Nick Live!’ Day of Discovery at Aliante park

Aliante hosted a free Day of Discovery event, drawing hundreds of residents and visitors to the 20-acre Nature Discovery Park in North Las Vegas Aug. 25.

The master-planned community and Nickelodeon -- a TV network popular among youngsters -- brought "Nick Live!," an interactive stage show, to the community for a day of fun and adventure for kids of all ages.

Offering a variety of high-energy games and physical challenges, "Nick Live!" gave kids and adults a chance to hop on stage and get in the action. Participants were selected from the audience to compete in a series of games and challenges based on some of Nickelodeon's most popular creations.

Audience members were divided into teams and cheered on their teammates who had been selected to go on stage. The captain of each winning team was bestowed with Nickelodeon's highest honor -- getting soaked with a bucket of world-famous green Nickelodeon "slime."

Other activities at the event included entertainment by D.J. Tony, mad science demonstrations, arts and crafts, games and dinosaur digs.

Those interested in upcoming events scheduled throughout the year can pick up a free event calendar at the Aliante Information Gallery, located at 2600 Nature Park Drive at the southeast corner of Interstate 215, the Las Vegas Beltway, and Aliante Parkway.
