The D Casino Becomes Official DTLV Partner For Golden Knights

The Vegas Golden Knights – the National Hockey League’s newest franchise – broke the ice by announcing the D Las Vegas as its official Downtown Las Vegas (DTLV) casino partner. This six-year exclusive sponsorship deal will entail exciting activations and events for fans in DTLV when the Vegas Golden Knights kick off their inaugural season this fall.

Details about the partnership were unveiled during a press conference on Third Street Stage in the Fremont Street Experience, featuring the D Las Vegas’ CEO Derek Stevens, Mayor Carolyn Goodman, Vegas Golden Knights President Kerry Bubolz and Coach Gerard Gallant. It will include the following elements:

·         Annual Fan Fest in Downtown Las Vegas in the off-season

·         Special watch parties at the D for every Vegas Golden Knights game

·         Player appearances at the property

·         Official merchandise pop-up shop at the D

·         Game tickets for purchase at concierge

·         the D Las Vegas zamboni wrap at Vegas Golden Knights’ Summerlin training facility

In addition, Stevens announced that the D Las Vegas will make a $100K donation to jumpstart the Vegas Golden Knights Foundation.

“Coming from Detroit, which is a true Hockeytown, I’ve had the opportunity to see how Mike Ilitch with Little Caesars Arena, and Pete Karmanos with Compuware AAA Hockey have impacted the community and youth sports,” said Stevens. “I am hoping to bring the same spirit to Las Vegas.”

Over the last decade, Mayor Goodman and her husband, former mayor Oscar Goodman, have been key advocates for hockey to come to Las Vegas.  She was delighted to be a part of the day’s festivities.

Mayor Goodman said, “There have been many investors in my time in Las Vegas, but there has never been anyone quite like Derek Stevens. Every time he commits to doing something, he does it quickly and wholeheartedly. His six-year agreement with the Vegas Golden Knights is such an honor for this community, and we’re so thrilled to have the team in our city.”

The press conference took place a week ahead of the NHL Expansion Draft on June 21. President Bubolz also had a few words on what the sponsorship would mean to the team once the season begins in exactly 114 days.

“We’re very excited for this partnership with Derek and the D Las Vegas. Every time I hear him speak about Downtown Las Vegas, I get more and more excited about working with this part of the city.”

As a special treat, Brian Blessing, host of Sportsbook Radio, conducted a special interview with Coach Gallant on what to expect from the new staff and players.

In true Derek Stevens fashion, the ceremony concluded with the hotel CEO surprising Bubolz and Coach Gallant with matching signature blazers, designed with both company logos and personalized names on the back to replicate a hockey jersey.

Fans will be able to get in on the hockey action this fall at T-Mobile Arena.

Iconic And Historic Red Barn Neon Sign Now Installed At Fashion Show Mall

As part of a new partnership to showcase restored, historic Las Vegas signs on the Las Vegas Strip, the Neon Museum’s iconic Red Barn neon sign has been installed on the Fashion Show’s newly renovated Plaza. Consisting of a rotating lineup of restored, historic signs from the Neon Museum’s collection, this partnership marks the very first time signs from this renowned collection will be displayed on world-famous Strip. After several months, the Red Barn sign will be replaced with a different restored sign from the Neon Museum’s collection.

The Red Barn opened in the late 1950s as an antique store at 1317 Tropicana Avenue and was converted into a bar in the early 1960s. By 1969, it had evolved into one of the first openly gay bars in Las Vegas. Featuring drag shows, such as the popular “RB Follies,” the Red Barn provided a place for the gay community to socialize. The Red Barn also published the “RB Bag,” one of the earliest gay magazines in Southern Nevada. The bar closed in March 1988, and its restored iconic martini glass sign is now a part of the Neon Museum’s collection.

The Red Barn sign is on display now; in several months, it will be replaced by a different restored sign from the Neon Museum’s collection.

The Plaza at Fashion Show
3200 S. Las Vegas Blvd.
Las Vegas, Nevada 89109
Sign is installed on a platform near Neiman Marcus (near the corner of Las Vegas Boulevard and Fashion Show Drive)

The DENSO Spark Plugs NHRA Nationals will take place April 6-8, and the NHRA Toyota Nationals – part of the NHRA Mello Yello Countdown to the Championship – is slated for Oct. 25-28. The Strip at LVMS is one of just three drag strips, along with Pomona, Calif., and Charlotte, that will host two Mello Yello Drag Racing Series events in 2018.

With two tripleheader NASCAR weekends and a pair of major NHRA national events on our 2018 calendar, we are poised for an historic and amazing season.”

Blondie & Garbage Tour Starts Soon! Listen To NEW SONG & Coming To Vegas!

Blondie & Garbage today announced a co-headline North American tour that will kick off on July 5th in Saratoga, CA and wrap on August 12th in Dallas, TX. John Doe & Exene Cervenka will provide support on the first leg of the tour and Deap Vally for the second leg. Tickets for the Rage and Rapture tour go on sale starting Friday, February 17 at 10:00am local time (please check venue websites for most up-to-date on sale information). Fans can also access a ticket pre-sale now HERE - pages.tmclient.ticketmaster.com/BlondieGarbageRageandRaptureTour2017/
using the password RAGEANDRAPTURE (pre-sale not available in all markets). A complete list of live dates can be found below. More dates to be added soon.

For the last four decades, Blondie has become and still remains a true national treasure; one whose influence both shaped and continues to inform the worlds of music, fashion and art. From an irreverent Lower East Side punk outfit to bona fide international ambassadors of New York cool, Blondie will forever be synonymous with that punk spirit that lives somewhere in all of us. Comprised of singer-songwriter Debbie Harry, guitarist and co-writer Chris Stein, powerhouse drummer Clem Burke, and long-time band members bassist Leigh Foxx, guitarist Tommy Kessler and keyboardist Matt Katz-Bohen, Blondie's chart-topping success, fearless spirit and rare longevity led to an induction into the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame in 2006, a NME Godlike Genius Award in 2014, a Q Award for Outstanding Contribution to Music in 2016, and more than 40 million albums sold worldwide to date.  Debbie's persona and the band's boundary-pushing pop have shaped the look and sound of many chart-topping female artists who followed in the last three decades.  And their newest album, Pollinator (out May 5th via BMG), delves even deeper into this idea: inspiration from Blondie's action-packed, cross-pollinating past shaping the sound of our collective future. PRESS HERE www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJfyvGbjh3c&feature=youtu.be to listen to "Fun", the first song off this release, and PRESS HERE www.theblondiestore.com/ to pre-order Pollinator, which features songwriting from Sia, Blood Orange frontman Dev Hynes, British singer Charli XCX, Dave Sitek (TV On The Radio), Nick Valensi (The Strokes), Johnny Marr (The Smiths) and more.


Garbage is Shirley Manson, Duke Erikson, Steve Marker and Butch Vig. After forming in Madison, WI, Garbage released their self-titled debut album in 1995. The band's unique sound and provocative visual aesthetic, inspired massive worldwide attention and success. Their follow up album, Version 2.0, released in 1998, topped charts all over the world and garnered multiple Grammy Award nominations including Album Of The Year. Garbage went on to release two more albums: 2001's Beautiful Garbage and 2005's Bleed Like Me, the latter of which earned the band its highest chart position with a No. 4 on the Billboard Top 200 Album Chart. After a 7-year hiatus, the band released their fifth studio album Not Your Kind of People in 2012 on their independent record label, STUNVOLUME. The album was named one of Rolling Stone magazine's Top 50 Albums of 2012 and was hailed as the "alternative to everything," by Pitchfork. Garbage has sold over 15 million albums worldwide and performed in over thirty-five countries. In 2015, the band celebrated its 20th anniversary with their SOLD OUT '20 Years Queer' world tour and the release of a special 20th anniversary edition of their debut album, re-mastered and featuring previously unreleased material. Last year, Garbage released Strange Little Birds, which debuted at No. 1 on Billboard's Top Rock Albums and Alternative Albums chart, and arrived at No. 14 overall on the Billboard 200 chart. This summer, Garbage will be releasing an autobiographical coffee table book, This Is The Noise That Keeps Me Awake, currently available for preorder HERE www.akashicbooks.com/catalog/this-is-the-noise-that-keeps-me-awake/
