The Art of Mixology

In Las Vegas, where over-the-top shows and giant drinks often steal the spotlight, Daniel Ponsky is quietly doing something far more enduring: teaching people to truly understand what's in their glass. As the resident mixologist at The Cabinet of Curiosities at Horseshoe Las Vegas, Ponsky reshapes how guests think about flavor, balance and creativity. He does it one drink at a time.

Vegas Valley Students Learn the “Joi” of Jazz, Scat and the First Lady of Song

I have never seen - nor heard - so many young (jazz) hands clapping with such appreciation as I did during Jazz Outreach Initiative’s (JOI) “Jazz for Young People” Concerts at Reynolds Hall at The Smith Center! Over three thousand enthusiastic students from the Clark County School District were bussed in to experience two back-to-back performances with the acclaimed Jazz Vegas Orchestra and world-renowned saxophonist and vocalist Camille Thurman.  She definitely answered this year’s theme, “Who is Ella Fitzgerald?” and then some.

Las Vegas Headliner Kevin Lepine Honored at the 2026 Performing Hypnosis Summit

During his hit Las Vegas show, “Hypnosis Unleashed” at Four Queens Hotel & Casino, hypnotist Kevin Lepine sometimes uses his skills to hypnotize select audience volunteers into thinking he is a rock star. Offstage, however, Lepine doesn’t need to hypnotize anyone into realizing just how great of a guy he is in real life.

Broadway Reimagined: When Chamber Music Becomes Pure Theater

A full house is always a promising sign, but what unfolded during "Broadway Reimagined: A Chamber Music Tribute" at the Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum was something rarer. The room was so completely captivated that time itself seemed to suspend. From the first notes to the final cadence, the audience was wholly with the performers, so engaged and emotionally tethered that one sensed a collective reluctance for the afternoon to end.

Some events sparkle because of the clothes. Others because of the people. But every so often, an evening arrives that shines because style and purpose come together effortlessly. During a week when Las Vegas Boulevard glowed with couture — especially at The Shoppes at Crystals during Las Vegas Fashion Week — the Sip & Shop for a Cause at Alice + Olivia stood out as a night where glamour met generosity in the most meaningful way.

Local Italian Gem: D’Agostino's Trattoria's Renovation, Expansion and Heart

Local favorite D’Agostino's Trattoria has been family-owned and -run since it first opened. The restaurant is more than a place to eat; it's a gathering place, headed by husband-and-wife chef team Dan and Brandi Thompson. When their restaurant grew beyond expectations, the family faced a turning point: a brief closure for renovation that would honor the past while embracing the future.

In the Driver's Seat: Meet the Women Driving Change at the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix 2025

As the Formula 1 Heineken Las Vegas Grand Prix starts revving its engine for the third annual trip around the Strip, the predominantly male sport has shifted into a new gear. What makes this high-octane race stand out is the number of women in the driver's seat. In other words, these ladies prefer not to stay in their lane. "Our time has come in motorsport, and it is fantastic to see the commitment of my peers, colleagues and bosses — a lot of them who are 'Boss Babes,'" said Lori Nelson-Kraft.
