It provides a home in which your medical as well as general clean needs are managed for you.

EEPERFORMING ARTS CENTERS

The Las Vegas PhilharmonicTen years ago on July 4th, 1998, the Las Vegas Philharmonic launched its classical music presence—adding a unique cultural dimension to the city.

Nevada Ballet TheatreA world-class ballet company and training academy continues to take shape from this effort. Now in its 37th Season, Nevada Ballet Theatre is a leading force in the establishment of the live performing arts in Southern Nevada. With an ambitious schedule of performances, development of local talent and a commitment to outreach and education, today’s Nevada Ballet Theatre commands status on the national scale while touching thousands of lives in the Las Vegas Valley every year.

Performing Arts Center at UNLVPlanning for a Center for the Performing Arts at UNLV began in 1966, ten years before the opening of the Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall. The initial idea for the center came from then University President Donald C. Moyer. Since Las Vegas was an entertainment capital, Moyer thought it only natural for Las Vegas’s University to be nationally prominent in its musical and theatrical offerings; a Center for the Performing Arts would help the University attain this status.
