Smith Center to break ground – Concert hall, theater building to be completed sometime early 2012

A groundbreaking for the long-awaited Smith Center for the Performing Arts has been tentatively scheduled for May 26, with construction on the concert hall and theater building expected to be complete by early 2012.

The center is to be the anchor of Union Park, a 61-acre development in downtown Las Vegas on what used to be a Union Pacific railroad yard.

Plans for the center include a 2,050  seat multipurpose main hall, an education building that will house a 300-seat cabaret theater, and a 200  seat flexible studio theater for rehearsals, children’s theater and community events.

This category undefined because here lies some crazy photos taken in Vegas, not real estate related but out there.

Over the past 70 years Las Vegas has grown from 1 casino to the city that it has become. The Las Vegas Sun has created a very cool timeline of The World Famous Las Vegas Strip.
Note: This dosent take into account the growing South Strip where the M Resort is being built, Henderson and Downtown Las Vegas.

NFL FOOTBALL: LINE UP FOR A NEW SEASON

Local bars compete to win over fans with food and drink specials, giveaways

By JOHN PRZYBYS
REVIEW-JOURNAL

So the economy is looking sadder than the Washington Redskins after their 1940 NFL championship game beat down (a 73-0 loss to the Bears).

So life in America circa 2008 is threatening to become more anticlimactic than a tie in overtime.

At least we have football and, whatever else is eroding the fringes of our collective psyche, we’ll at least be able to devote the next few months to losing ourselves in the incongruous beauty of massively grown men playing a child’s game for ungodly sums of money.

To help you plan out this season’s pigskin pilgrimages, the Review-Journal again offers this list of Southern Nevada bars, taverns and restaurants that cater to fans of specific NFL teams.

This year’s roster includes 55 establishments, but don’t blame us if your favorite bar or team isn’t included. This list is based solely on calls we receive from bar owners or managers, and if your favorite isn’t here, it’s because they fumbled by not calling us or not calling us by the deadline, or because your bar simply doesn’t fit our requirements.

Having gotten that off our chest, this year’s roster of MIA teams consists of the Arizona Cardinals, Atlanta Falcons, Baltimore Ravens, Carolina Panthers, Cincinnati Bengals, Green Bay Packers, Houston Texans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Kansas City Chiefs, Oakland Raiders, San Francisco 49ers, Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Tennessee Titans.

However, if your team is listed here, the proprietors of these bars have promised to show every game their teams play and to show no other games while their teams’ games are on. (We’re confident that, as always, you’ll let us know if they go back on their word.)

And now, fans and fanettes, let’s all prepare to revel in the most wonderful season on the sporting calendar.

What’s up in Las Vegas?

How about a new developers breaking the mold of all of the “little pink houses” and really bringing luxury lofts to new levels in Las Vegas. There are a few loft style single family residence developments pre-existing in Las Vegas and frankly they are very cool because not only do you get the soaring high ceilings and backyards that fit a full size bbq island and pool.
