Somewhere between work, routines, responsibilities, moving to a new city, starting over, working from home, and saying, “we should really go out sometime,” many women stopped having nights out that feel exciting. The Velvet Hour was created for that woman.
The Velvet Hour brings a small group of women together at Rouge Room inside Red Rock Casino for a stylish night out filled with cocktails, music, and playful Velvet Cards — anonymous question and prompt cards designed to get the table laughing, reacting, and sharing stories together.
Expect pretty cocktails and mocktails, music in the room, a chic lounge atmosphere, and a reason to finally wear the outfit waiting in your closet.

This exhibition of mixed-media drawings explores the relationship between humanity and technology in art and in life. It runs through September 19. There will be a gallery talk and artist reception with light refreshments on September 17, starting at 6 p.m.
Zoë Camper is a London-native, Las Vegas-based artist whose work explores the intersection of technology, creativity, and the human experience. Working across fantastical landscapes, portraiture, industrial imagery, and conceptual works, Camper begins each piece with a story, often a commentary on how technology shapes or complicates our lives, with pencil as a favorite medium.
Camper situates Still Life with Technology within a tradition stretching back to the industrial revolution, "From Charlie Chaplin's questioning of the machine in 'Modern Times' to Umberto Boccioni's exhilarating ideals about technology's possibilities, modern-day artists have created a vital and powerful dialog about the impact of technology." Still Life with Technology carries that conversation forward.
