The Arts in Las Vegas: The Smith Center

Located in Symphony Park, The Smith Center is what Las Vegas looks like as a grown up. Don’t worry, you can still act like a college student on spring break on the Las Vegas strip but when it is time to imagine yourself as a more refined you, The Smith Center is where it happens. This epicenter for the arts adjacent to Downtown Las Vegas is world class in its combination of performances by resident companies, first-run touring attractions, lectures and internationally acclaimed performers in music, theater and dance. The venues located at The Smith Center include the 2,050-seat Reynolds Hall, a 258-seat Cabaret Jazz club, the 250-seat Troesh Studio Theater and the 1.7-acre Donald W. Reynolds Symphony Park for outdoor concerts.

The Experience

The Las Vegas you know and love will always wait for you but take an evening and feel the music and the elegance of the theater. Dress up. Comb your hair. Maybe do dinner before you step into the theater. The bevy of talent and performances scheduled for the coming months at The Smith Center is impressive. Plan you Las Vegas vacation around some of the options and experience a different Vegas vacation from you are accustomed to.

Who Will Go
This is a date night spot but it also is a place for the girls to have a night out or a place to introduce your teen to some thing a little different. The summer season at The Smith Center is offering a diverse line-up that works for all types of entertainment seekers.

  • Weird Al Yankovic, July 6, 2013 – Before you judge you have to see his show to appreciate the humor and his ability to entertain. It took me about 10 minutes and I was sold on him.
  • Dixie’s Tupperware Party, August 1 – 2, 2013 – Is Tupperware funny? It is when it’s being sold by a funny woman and she shares her stories with you.
  • Willie Nelson, August 13, 2013 – Plenty of people recognize him as on eof the greatest songwriters of our time. Others just like the way he has been making music for longer than most of us have been alive.
  • Buddy Guy, August 22, 2013 – The Blues as told by Buddy Guy. Take some time to appreciate the music that makes you feel something deep in your soul. Listen to the electric guitar tell a story and sit back and experience one of the most influential musicians in music today.
