Sunlight pours through Rita Deanin Abbey’s monumental "Wall of Creation," scattering blues, golds and desert tones across the gallery walls. As the first notes of music rise into the room, the glass-like surface seems almost to breathe, with color shifting gently with rhythm and light responding to sound. There are moments in art when the boundaries between disciplines quietly dissolve.
In a city that has mastered the art of reinvention, memory is crucial in defining the future, a fragile thing. Las Vegas is often described through spectacle — neon glare, desert heat, chance and excess — but beneath its mythos lies a quieter, more enduring story.

Standing with a friend somewhere inside Oddyssey Noir on a Saturday night, I realized that although I had been to this place numerous times in preparation for its 2026 reopening, led by their new head of nightlife and events at AREA15, Steven Guttman, looking around, it seemed that I was lost. It was a lot easier to find my way around with the house lights on during the daytime hours, when I was graciously given a couple of tours leading up to tonight's special event.

To know stage and screen actor Alan Cumming is to love him, his flamboyant fashion style and all of those over-the-top characters he has portrayed during his decades-long career.
