Art Exhibit To Take Place During Life Is Beautiful - ART-Tales

ROA Picture

Ensuring there will be no shortage of beauty inside the Life is Beautiful Festival footprint, organizers are now revealing the details of its gallery-style exhibits, set to take place inside the once iconic Western Hotel. In addition to its previously announced street art and mural program, festival managers have teamed up with art curator Patrick Duffy to present a multidisciplinary pop-up gallery entitled ART-Tales, available all three days (Oct 24-26) for festival attendees.

“To say we’ve transformed the vacant space of the Western Hotel is an understatement,” says Duffy, Las Vegas Art Museum president and chairman of the UNLV Fine Art Galleries. “Though we want to keep the feeling of that iconic bingo hall that this space once represented, our artists will present works that go beyond what you imagine when you think of Vegas, and challenge patrons to search themselves for universal themes and stories.”

Inside the ART-Tales gallery space will be a plethora of artistic mediums across multiple disciplines: from paintings to photography, sculpture, installations, poetry and mixed media. Featured inside the space are many local artists, including submissions from VAST space projects, Trifecta Gallery and students from Las Vegas Academy. Some highlights include:

·         California artist Eric Tillinghast, whose water-based work was featured in last year’s Art Odyssey, will return with a playful and interactive installation of water slides and kiddie pools, entitled “Freefall”.

·         Exploring themes of body and spirit, visual artist Linda Alterwitz - known for her use of scientific imagery- will create an installation juxtaposing large scale images of the Mojave Desert with medical scans of the human body.

·         Multidisciplinary local favorite Jerry Misko will explore the idea of a well-rounded, cyclical life with his installment of ancient and modern depictions of circular works.

·         Trifecta Gallery will bring along a collection of contemporary paintings and sculptures representing themes of religion, survival, heart, fear, dreams and growing up.

·         VAST Space Projects will present the works of nearly 50 artists, a number of them native to Nevada, through new mediums such as digital designs, printed matter, poetry and pop-ups.

·         Students from the Las Vegas Academy of the Arts will have the opportunity to enlighten guests with their visual interpretation of dreams; while they themselves fulfill their dream of showcasing artwork on a professional level.

·         Works from the following artists will also be presented: Audrey Barcio, Matthew Couper, Zak Ostrowski, Gina Quaranto, Camilla Quinn, Miguel Rodriguez, JK Russ, Jesse Smigel, and  Jevijoe Vitug.

Connecting the themes and overall experience of each of the dozens of participants, ART-Tales at The Western will be tucked within a cohesive space blanketed by an aura of light and sound which completes the sensory experience of the festival-goer. When stepping into this “gallery” – and the sub-galleries within – one will be transported to a stirring environment which asks the observer to fill in his or her answer to the question: “Life is ____.” ART-Tales will be available from opening to closing of the festival from October 24-26, 2014 inside the former Western Hotel on Fremont Street.

Headliner Frankie Moreno Final Performance At The Stratosphere! 12/20/14

The Stratosphere Casino, Hotel and Tower announces the final performance of Frankie Moreno Live at Stratosphere will be December 20, 2014 at 8 p.m. Dedicated fans, guests and everyone who loves a great live show is invited catch the final powerhouse performances at Stratosphere.

Moreno wows audiences and critics alike with energetic live performances in the Stratosphere Theater.  Since November 9, 2011, Frankie has achieved nearly 600 shows during his three-year tenure as Stratosphere headliner.  Moreno will leave the Stratosphere to pursue new artistic songwriting and performing opportunities across the country.

“Frankie Moreno is a true Las Vegas success story,” said Paul Hobson, Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower general manager.  “We wish him nothing but success on his future endeavors.”

Moreno’s incredible talent earned Moreno “Best All-Around Performer” from the Las Vegas Review-Journal’s Best of Las Vegas Awards in 2012 and “Best Strip Headliner” from Las Vegas Weekly.

As part of his growing popularity, Moreno is also utilized by the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority (LVCVA) to help sell the Las Vegas brand to audiences across the country.

“The past three years have been an incredible ride and I’m thankful to the Stratosphere for the opportunity to entertain audiences night after night,” said Moreno.

Moreno’s national television appearance on ABC’s Dancing With The Stars in 2012 earned him additional acclaim.  He performed a medley, including his original song “Tangerine Honey”, to a dance performed and choreographed by Lacey Schwimmer during the primetime hit show.

“Frankie and his 10-piece band put on the kind of show that made Las Vegas showrooms famous,” said Matt Mascali, Vice President of Entertainment at Stratosphere Casino, Hotel & Tower.  “There is no denying their talent.”

Moreno also shares his talents with aspiring musicians.  As part of a partnership with the Las Vegas Academy, a magnet school in the Clark County School District focusing on visual and performing arts, Moreno and his song writing brothers held songwriting classes with students.  Some of the students ultimately performed their songs for audiences during Moreno’s shows at the Stratosphere Theater.

Dental Clinic For Veterans Receive A Very LARGE Check From Employees The Venetian/Palazzo

The team members of The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo presented a check for $70,000 today to The Sgt. Clint Ferrin Dental Clinic for Veterans at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine to effectively eliminate the waiting list of low-income Las Vegas veterans who are waiting for dental services.

The donation was made by Sands Cares, the Las Vegas Sands Corp. global corporate citizenship program, to expedite dental treatment for veterans seeking services at the innovative dental clinic.

The presentation was made by Pete Boyd, senior vice president of operations, The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo, and accepted by Karen P. West, DMD, MPH, dean of the UNLV School of Medicine.  Team Members from The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo and a current patient of the Ferrin Dental Clinic for Veterans were on hand to ceremoniously “rip up” the waiting list. 

“When we asked our team members at The Venetian, The Palazzo and Sands Expo specifically what causes they would like to see us support in the community, veterans charities were very high on the list,” said Boyd.  “So when we learned about the great work that the UNLV School of Dental Medicine was doing – and that they had a waiting list for dental services for veterans -- we thought this was the perfect opportunity to make a difference in our community.”

The Sgt. Clint Ferrin Dental Clinic for Veterans at the UNLV School of Dental Medicine was started in honor of a former student, John Ferrin’s, older brother who was killed in action in 2004. John watched his older brother struggle to receive proper dental care for an oral injury that he had sustained during basic training. Following his brother’s death, John was inspired to provide an avenue for local veterans, who otherwise have limited or no access to care, a place to be treated for free.

Today, the Clinic is run as a regular clinic ten times per year offering a full range of services from root canals, tooth extractions and dentures. Veterans who make less than $25,000 a year, have no current dental insurance, and who do not qualify for Veteran’s Administration benefits are invited to become patients. These veterans are much less likely to have access to dental care services than their peers in other demographics and have often not seen a dentist in many years.

Operating since 2008, this is the only such clinic in existence at an American dental school.

Those interested in receiving treatment at future clinics can call Gil Manzano at 702-774-2461

Book Your "Vintage Vegas" Package At The Historic Golden Gate Hotel!

The Las Vegas original, Golden Gate Hotel and Casino, invites guests to step back in time with a new “Vintage Vegas” package. The experience includes accommodations in the historic property’s newly upgraded rooms or sleek suites, classic cocktails at Bar Prohibition! and tickets to The Mob Museum.

Opening its doors in 1906 at One Fremont Street, Golden Gate sits across the street from the site of the railroad land auction that founded Las Vegas. With a rich history spanning the dry days of Prohibition, the glamour of The Rat Pack Era and the rise of a neon metropolis, Golden Gate has seen it all.

The new package takes guests back to where it all began in Downtown Las Vegas:

·         One Swanky Joint – Accommodations For Two – Check-in at the hotel’s lobby where artifacts like Vegas’ first telephone and original guest and gaming records are on display. Thanks to a multi-million dollar upgrade, Golden Gate offers today’s guests all the luxuries of modern day while staying true to its roots, evident in design details such as Victorian era tin ceilings and statement wall papers inspired by the fringed dresses worn by flappers. Stay in one of Golden Gate’s recently updated original rooms or opt for a swank new suite, located in the new luxury tower. Each of the hotel’s suites feature Swing era-inspired pinstriped carpeting; Art Deco accents; and a photograph of an iconic Las Vegas celebrity, many of whom frequented Golden Gate.

·         Toast to the Past – Two Classic Cocktails – Pull up a stool to Bar Prohibition! and enjoy a craft cocktail at the same bar once frequented by Frank, Sammy and Dean. Inspired by Vegas’ storied past, Golden Gate’s Vintage Cocktail Menu includes classic drinks with a modern twist like the Frankie Two Fingers, Italian Kiss and Flaming Side Car. The cocktails on the throwback menu are served in discreet coffee mugs, a method used by Prohibition drinkers to evade law enforcement. Hang around until 6 p.m. when Golden Gate’s gorgeous dancing dealers take over the nearby casino floor. Their vivacious spirit and sexy outfits are a bold take on the style worn by the liberated women of the 1920s.

·         The Mob Life – Two Tickets – Get the lowdown on the dark side of Vegas’ past at The Mob Museum. This world-class destination dedicated to the thrilling story of organized crime and law enforcement presents an exciting and authentic view of the Mob’s impact on Las Vegas history and its unique imprint on the world. Shockingly true stories are brought to life with interactive exhibits and more than 600 authentic artifacts, the largest collection of Mob and related law enforcement memorabilia under one roof. Objects on display include the infamous St. Valentine’s Massacre wall, the barber chair in which Gambino crime boss Albert Anastasia was murdered, real FBI wiretap recordings and a variety of artifacts belonging to famous Mobsters such as Al Capone, Charles “Lucky” Luciano, Meyer Lansky, Ben “Bugsy” Siegel, Sam Giancana, Frank “Lefty” Rosenthal, Moe Dalitz, John Gotti and other notorious individuals.

Guests should request to upgrade to the Vintage Vegas package when booking their accommodations. Call (800) 426-1906 for package options.

We know the atmosphere here will make a phenomenal backdrop for these artists.”

In honor of the band’s appearances at Downtown Grand, the award-winning hotel-casino is featuring several “Reckless at Downtown Grand” specials.
