Sin City Brewing Company Debuts New Craft Beer "Sin City Spring Bock"


Las Vegas beer lovers can rejoice because Sin City Brewing Co. has released a new craft beer, Sin City Spring Bock. This German-style beer is the 2016 spring edition in Sin City’s seasonal beer program.  Spring Bock is on tap at the brewery’s largest location on Las Vegas Boulevard at Harmon Corner and at its bar in the Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian

“We used traditional German Hallertau hops to create a highly aromatic and satisfying beer.” said Master Brewer Rich Johnson. “These German hops produce a beer that has subtle flower and spice fragrances making the Spring Bock a perfectly refreshing brew to relax with on a warm spring day.”

Sin City’s Spring Bock is a stronger beer at 7.5 percent ABV. The recipe is able to take the malty sweetness of the brew and balance out its full body with a hint of the traditional noble hop. Bock-style beers can be traced all the way back to the medieval days when it was made for monasteries during times of fasting. Throughout history the bock has been a symbol of better times to come and moving away from winter, so cheers to new times, a new season and a new delicious craft beer!    

Sin City Brewing Co. also features a popular retail line that is available through its online store and at its branded bars in Miracle Mile Shops, The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian and Harmon Corner. For more information, visit www.sincitybeer.com, follow on Twitter - twitter.com/sincitybeer and check-in on Yelp!

Comedian/Actor Chris Tucker Brings His Show To The Pearl On 5/28


Fresh from his NETFLIX special Chris Tucker: Live, the comedian sets a return date to The Pearl inside Palms Casino Resort  on May 28, 2016 at 8 p.m. Tickets start at $50, plus any additional service fees and go on sale Friday, March 4 at noon.

Chris Tucker is best known for his role of Detective James Carter in the “Rush Hour” film series. Starting his career as a stand-up comedian, Tucker’s bold sense of humor landed him a spot on “Def Comedy Jam” where he frequently performed in the 1990s.

The buzz that Tucker garnered from his many appearances as a stand-up helped open doors in the film industry. Following his film debut in 1994’s “House Party 3,” Tucker achieved ‘cult classic’ status as Smokey in the stoner comedy “Friday.” Tucker’s next big movie role was in the avant-garde film “The Fifth Element.”

Tucker’s film career reached soaring heights as the star of the “Rush Hour” blockbuster film series. The original, along with two sequels, grossed more than $500 million in the U.S. The success of the films enabled Tucker to negotiate a salary of $25 million, making him one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood for “Rush Hour 3.”

In 2013, Tucker enjoyed the buzz from a well-received performance opposite Jennifer Lawrence, Bradley Cooper and Robert De Niro in the David O. Russell directed film “Silver Linings Playbook.”

Getting back to his comedic roots, Tucker used his hometown of Atlanta to film “Chris Tucker: Live,” a NETFLIX Original production which is now playing on the entertainment streaming service.

Doors at The Pearl will open at 7 p.m. and show time is 8 p.m. The Pearl Box Office is open daily from noon until 7 p.m. with extended hours on select event days. Follow The Pearl on Twitter at @PearlatPalms or on Facebook - www.facebook.com/palmspearl for concert announcements, event information and exclusive venue presale information.
