Tonight in L.V.: Bob Dylan, Los Angeles Lakers, Cool Comedy-Hot Cuisine, Barrett-Jackson, Heather Dubrow
TONIGHT IN L.V.
It’s a rare Las Vegas appearance for superstar folk singer Bob Dylan, who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature this morning, as he brings his music and the conscience of a generation to The Chelsea in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. You’ll find a preview of his show in our Red Carpet Report posted later today.
Bob is just one of the stars, along with Las Vegas music fans, shuttling across the desert to and from the Indio, Calif., site of Coachella for the new, two-weekend festival Desert Trip with The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Neil Young, Roger Waters and The Who, the first time they’ve all performed at the same event.
Mick Jagger and his bandmates are here next Wednesday and Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. Bob, 76, has the toughest travel schedule performing tonight at The Cosmopolitan and on Friday on the Indio grounds of Empire Polo Club … some 277 miles on US 95 or I-15 South.
The Los Angeles Lakers make the trek across the desert for the first of two weekend preseason NBA games at T-Mobile Arena for the first time. Tonight’s tipoff is against longtime rivals the Sacramento Kings. On Saturday, the game is against the Golden State Warriors.
Millions of dollars of rare collectible cars will be previewed today at Mandalay Bay Events Center in advance of Barrett-Jackson’s two-day auction Friday and Saturday.
