A space that doesn't exist until you hear it. DARKFIELD is a collection of immersive audio experiences in complete darkness, inside custom-built shipping containers at AREA15. You take your seat in a real set before the lights go out. In the dark, 360° binaural sound takes over, and your brain trusts what it has already seen, so what you hear feels real. Three experiences: * SÉANCE: a séance guided by a medium you'll never see.* FLIGHT: between takeoff and landing, reality splits.* PLACEBO: a collective dream you didn't agree to.
Experience one, two or all three in a single visit. Monday, and Wednesday through Saturday. Spanish-language sessions Thursday, Saturday and Sunday. Age 13+. Private bookings for groups. Runs through January.

Few people knew John Lennon as intimately as May Pang did. She was Lennon’s lover during the infamous “Lost Weekend” which lasted 18 months during late 1973 through 1975. During this highly creative time for Lennon, Pang took candid photos of him in comfortable, relaxed settings. A collection of these private photographs will be on display, and available for purchase, at The Desert Valley Gallery. May Pang will be at the gallery all weekend, meeting customers and telling stories behind the photos.
In 1973, Lennon and Pang stayed at Caesars Palace and attended a concert at the Flamingo featuring Fats Domino and Frankie Valli. They returned to Las Vegas in 1974, accompanied by musician Harry Nilsson, and stayed at the Riviera. Photos from these visits offer a fascinating glimpse into the couple’s life together during Lennon’s celebrated “Lost Weekend.”
The evening will feature music with a touch of vaudeville as selected by the student performers. Dr. Mark Wherry conducts. Voltaire Verzosa is the as the piano accompanist. The concert will be in the Jay Morrison Recital Hall (H122). Proceeds go to support the Choir Club. Admission is free for CSN students with their Paw Pass!

Living on Video is a sexy, high-energy love letter to the wildest era of music television—when videos were events, fashion was outrageous, and rock stars ruled the screen. Part burlesque revue, part dance show, and part totally tubular time warp, Living on Video brings the MTV era back to life.
Go beyond the familiar 80s clichés and rediscover the stranger, sexier, edgier side of the decade. If you lived it, come relive it. If you missed it, come join the party. Tickets must be purchased online, although some might be available at the door.
