World Famous Artist Graham Knuttel Unveils "Fremont Street" Painting

The event where world-renowned Irish figurative artist Graham Knuttel was joined by a group of visual art students from the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts (LVA) at The Knuttel Gallery inside the Grand Canal Shoppes at Palazzo Las Vegas to unveil “Fremont Street.”

Earlier this year, Knuttel worked in collaboration with a number of handpicked students from LVA on creating a landscape of characters and architecture painted in bold strokes and vivid colors that capture the essence of the city and the essence of Knuttel’s work. The original canvas was unveiled for the first time Wednesday afternoon at The Knuttel Gallery as a sneak peek before LVA’s annual Gala on Nov. 10 in which Knuttel is being honored for providing this one-of-a-kind experience to the students and his contributions to the art program. Limited edition prints of “Fremont Street” will be available for sale in the Knuttel Gallery with proceeds benefiting LVA.

Band DropKick Murhpys Coming Live To The Brooklyn Bowl! Tix Available!

Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas, recently named “Best Live Music Venue” by Las Vegas Weekly and “Best New Venue” by Vegas Seven, is thrilled to announce Dropkick Murphys live at Brooklyn Bowl Las Vegas.

  

Dropkick Murphys come out swinging on their eighth full-length album, "SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD" [Born & Bred Records/ADA]. This time around, everything has been cranked up past 10. The guitars are ballsier, the gang vocals are louder, the hooks are catchier, the lyrics stop you in your tracks. The brashest moments of "SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD" feel like the last 30 seconds of a Stanley Cup hockey game: frenetic, on the edge, dangerous. The softest songs are testaments to the values that pump through the Dropkicks' veins: family, neighborhoods, honor, respect, roots and remembering those who are gone. Every second of "SIGNED and SEALED in BLOOD" is evidence of one thing: Dropkick Murphys aren't just loud and brash, they're at the top of their game as songwriters.

It's no accident. This time around, the band curtailed its always-on tour schedule -- which means they played only a month of the biggest summer festivals in Europe -- to take advantage of an unprecedented songwriting attack that started in the spring. They took a couple new songs on tour, weaving them into each night's set. "Rose Tattoo" was a standout. At the Rock im Park Festival in Germany, at Hellfest in France, at Download Festival in England, the new songs moved the seas of DKM fans just as much as the band's most beloved tunes. The band knew they were onto something. So after the last festival, they returned excitedly to new digs, a warehouse in South Boston that serves as a rehearsal space/clubhouse for writing and rehearsing with enough wall space to hang backdrops from tours past. The seven members convened to shape their trademark blend of guitars and acoustic folk instruments into the collection of songs before you.

Knowing this, it's no surprise upon hearing the opening line of the opening song: "The boys are back and they're looking for trouble." ...they most certainly are.

The Dropkicks' music is universal stuff. Songs for the common man, about common things, that come together with such fury and infectious melody that everyone within earshot is struck straight. Dropkick Murphys, as much as any of the 'punk' or 'blue collar' labels they've earned, are fantastic songwriters. They are on the same quest as their beloved Woody Guthrie or their buddy Bruce Springsteen: how to get that big truth to come out the other end of the speakers in a way people all over the world will feel in their bones.

Hakkasan Nightclub Was All Glitz & Glamour & Celeb DJ's & Had A GRAND Halloween!

Halloween weekend at Hakkasan Nightclub at MGM Grand was full of action-packed energy as thousands of partygoers assembled to enter the realm of the Forbidden City alongside unrivaled talent including resident DJs Calvin Harris and Tiësto, among others. The hot spot fully transformed into the Forbidden City as detailed experiences including seductive areal acts, shimmering dancers, playful décor and alluring light shows set the scene for an unforgettable four-day bash. In addition to the non-stop entertainment, the nightspot hosted three nights of sultry costume contests where multiple lucky winners were crowned as the “sexiest costumes” in Las Vegas and took home impressive prizes each night, totaling $60,000.

Kicking off Hakkasan Nightclub’s Rise of The Empress Halloween weekend was none other than famed DJ Calvin Harris, Thursday, Oct. 30. Harris took over the decks and played his chart-toping hits until the early hours of the morning, giving fans sweet nothings instead of ghoulish tricks. Gold-clad dancers played as eye-catching attractions to set the scene for what turned out to be a night full of mischief and mayhem as some lucky ladies were crowned as winners for the awaited costume contest.

Hakkasan Nightclub pulled out all the tricks as Halloween night arrived, Friday, Oct. 31. The Hakkasan Empress was ready to rule over her empire with the help from resident DJ Tiësto and young artist Danny Avila, who took part in the festivities with spooky face art to command the crowd. The party was amped up during the costume contest where party patrons aided in voting for the lucky winners. Heightening the energy even more, Tiësto continued to play his popular tracks such as “Red Lights” and “Wasted” which had clubgoers dancing into the night alongside the Empress in her Forbidden City. The Ling Ling Club was also a party of its own all night with DJ Ruckus spinning beats for the special occasion.

 

DJ Afrojack

As the madness continued, the popular destination brought the three-day costume contest to a close with sounds provided by the highly energetic DJ Afrojack, Saturday, Nov. 1. In awe of the Forbidden City, the renowned artist took a second to take in the atmosphere before letting loose and cranking up the party by taking advantage of the specially installed dragons above the DJ booth that exhaled expansive amounts of CO2 whenever he demanded. Afrojack had partygoers on their feet and confetti in the air all night long for an evening to remember. Hakkasan also welcomed back DJ and producer Questlove to the nightlife mecca for a night of action-packed fun in the Ling Ling Club.

 

DJ Steve Aoki

Closing out the final night of the Rise of The Empress celebration was none other than cake-slinging DJ Steve Aoki with help from The Chainsmokers, Sunday, Nov. 2. Three previous nights of partying did not scare away any clubgoers as the nightlife mecca was kicked into high gear to bid farewell to The Forbidden City with partygoers dressed up for one last bash of Halloween debauchery. Aoki ensured a stimulating night as he served up his iconic cake to a few enthusiastic fans while spinning tracks from his new album Neon Future. He even brought out his raft and let a few fans take part in his tradition by riding the waves of the crowd. After four nights of Halloween mayhem, The Forbidden City has finally been laid to rest and normalcy has been restored in the nightlife destination.
