“We are excited to extend Muhammad’s legacy and ideals to fans of all ages from around the world,” said Muhammad’s wife Lonnie Ali. “Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art has done an exceptional job working with the Muhammad Ali Center in Muhammad’s hometown of Louisville, KY, to create an immersive exhibition experience that showcases the six core principles that shaped his incredible life.”

Paint & Support St. Jude's Children Research Hospital At Pinot's Palette

Visitors at Town Square will soon have a new place to bring out their inner artist.

Pinot’s Palette, the popular paint-and-sip studio, will be bringing more fun and creativity to the community when it opens its third Las Vegas valley studio at Town Square on Friday, April 7. Located on the west end of Town Square, across from the Yard House and just below AMC Town Square 18 theater, it’s the sister studio to the Henderson location in The District at Green Valley and Summerlin location in Boca Park. With a slightly smaller, more intimate feel, the Town Square location will hold up to 48 guests in the main studio and 24 guests in the private party room.

To celebrate its opening, Pinot’s Palette is hosting a Grand Opening celebration on Friday, April 7 and Saturday, April 8. The upscale wine and painting experience is partnering with St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for a weekend of giving back to the community by “Painting It Forward” while patrons fulfill the Pinot’s Palette motto of “Paint. Drink. Have Fun.” Supporters can sign up for either of the two-hour 7 p.m. classes on Friday or Saturday for $39, with 100 percent of the painting proceeds to be donated to St. Jude. Guests interested in signing up for Friday’s “Pinot in Paradise” class can register online at www.pinotspalette.com/townsquare/event/147378 and Saturday’s “Wild Wine Night” class registration is available at www.pinotspalette.com/townsquare/event/153747. 

Local husband and wife team Reed and Judy Alewel are owners of all three Pinot’s Palettes in the Las Vegas area. Prior to opening their first studio in Henderson, Reed was vice president of sales and operations for a leading gaming machine manufacturer in Las Vegas, and Judy was a clinical nurse instructor at College of Southern Nevada. In 2014, Reed was laid off by a downsizing at his corporate employer, which led him to open Pinot’s Palette at The District.  Judy has since left her job to focus on their studios, and together they have created 26 full- and part-time jobs in the Valley. 

“We’re so thrilled to open our third Las Vegas Valley studio at Town Square where locals and tourists alike can explore their creativity,” said Reed Alewel. “We are honored to be partnering with the St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital for our grand opening weekend. They are an extraordinary organization, and we believe that it is important as business owners to give back to the community.” 

Pinot’s Palette has been established as the Valley’s most upscale paint-and-sip studio. A great advantage of the franchise is the access to its nationwide library of paintings. With over 1,400 paintings available to guests with a new painting added to the library nearly every day, Pinot’s Palette keeps its content fresh and consistent with current decorating trends. Pinot’s Palette Town Square provides all art supplies needed for each painting class, and is staffed by professional artists that will recreate the featured painting step-by-step with every brushstroke being displayed on a 75-inch monitor. The artists level of instruction is of the highest quality, but this is not an art class. With 22 different wines, and a dozen different beers, along with non-alcoholic offerings, this is a social event. Pinot’s Palette is perfect for date nights, girls’ night out, birthdays, church groups, and more. The three locations will have nearly 100 public classes each month, so there’s something for everyone. More information is available at www.pinotspalette.com/townsquare.

Long Time NASCAR Fan Wins Two Trips To Vegas!

In addition to being a loyal NASCAR fan, Toni Jackson is now the answer to a trivia question.

The Bellflower, Calif., resident was the first racing fan to secure tickets to both 2018 NASCAR Weekends at Las Vegas Motor Speedway in March and September when she renewed online on March 8, just hours after it was announced the speedway will have two event weekends next year. Jackson, who has attended LVMS’ spring races with her husband, Steve, since 2004, was excited to learn she is the track’s first annual ticketholder and thrilled to hear about the addition of a second race weekend.

“I can’t believe I was the first one,” said Jackson, who routinely attends the track’s NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race each fall. “I was excited when they finally said (LVMS) was going to get a second race, and we were hoping they would get it for a long time.” Jackson said there are several aspects of attending races at LVMS she enjoys. “I think the atmosphere is great, and with all the NASCAR fans, it’s just like a family,” she said. “Las Vegas is kind of like our home away from home. No matter where you stay or what you’re doing, you always see something that’s NASCAR, so you feel included. (The speedway) is easy to get in and out of, and we have nice seats. It’s the only track we go to now.”

Jackson’s racing roots and love for motorsports runs deep. “I’ve been a racing fan all my life,” she said. “I grew up riding motorcycles and going to Ascot Speedway. I grew up with motorcycles, then we graduated to drag racing and then to NASCAR probably in about 1998.”  She is excited about having two trips to LVMS next year. “I can’t wait,” she said. “We love it there.”
         
Fans can attend both of LVMS’ 2018 racing weekends for as low as $149, and payment plans are also offered. Tickets to all of LVMS’ events are available by calling 1-800-644-4444 or logging on to www.LVMS.com.

The Golden Nugget Has Frankie Moreno And They Are Keeping HIM!

Golden Nugget Las Vegas is proud to announce Frankie Moreno as the luxury resort's resident headliner through August 2017. Following the strong opening of his six-show limited engagement on Thursday, March 2, the property quickly locked Moreno in to perform at The Showroom weekly Thursdays and Saturdays.

"Frankie Moreno is a truly remarkable talent that we're excited to welcome as our resident headliner," said Senior Vice President & Chief Marketing Officer Rikki Tanenbaum. "The high energy and musical prowess that have made him a staple in the Las Vegas entertainment landscape can now be seen weekly at Golden Nugget Las Vegas."

Moreno's show features the talent of Tony Moreno (bass), Alec Zeilon (guitar), Mike Zerbe (drums), Rob Lyons (guitar), Fabricio Bezerra (saxophone), Pete Bresciani (trumpet), Jim D'Arrigo (baritone saxophone), Crystal Robinson (vocals), Ashley Kellough (vocals), and Markevius Faulkner (vocals).

For Moreno, the move seemed to be in the stars: "When we started performing in Las Vegas nearly 15 years ago, one of the early gigs I booked was in the Rush Lounge at Golden Nugget. There was this indescribable but palpable energy performing there. To return as the resident headliner seems somehow cosmic and feels electrifying."

A night of enjoying Moreno's unparalleled fusion of old-school soul with modern rock and roll does not end at curtain call. Ticket holders will have the opportunity to follow the musician to a Rat Pack-style after party at an undisclosed location on property to be announced at the end of each performance. Among the libations that will flow is the "Frankie More-tini," a play on the traditional Cosmopolitan that Golden Nugget has dedicated to Moreno.

The artist, who made his national debut at the age of 10 on "Star Search," has toured and written songs for audiences around the world. His eponymous debut album achieved nationwide success following a rousing rendition of the self-penned single "Tangerine Honey" on "Dancing with the Stars."

Moreno recently released his latest album, "One Night Only." He has performed sold-out concerts at esteemed venues including Carnegie Hall, The Kennedy Center, and The Hollywood Bowl, and recorded a PBS special, "Frankie Moreno in Concert." In addition to racking up accolades in Las Vegas including "Best All-Around Performer" (Las Vegas Review-Journal) and "Best Strip Headliner" (Las Vegas Weekly), Moreno garnered an Emmy nomination for his nationally televised special, "Songs at Home."

Frankie Moreno will perform Thursday, March 16 and Thursday, March 23, before kicking off his extended residency in April, when he can be seen weekly Thursdays and Saturdays at 8 p.m. in The Showroom at Golden Nugget Las Vegas through August.
