Tonight in L.V.: Las Vegas Showcase House, Philip Fortenberry, ‘Comedy Daredevil,’ Sugarcane, Yellow Claw
TONIGHT IN LAS VEGAS
Nineteen of the best of our design community luminaries will unveil their plans for the first-ever Las Vegas Showcase House to be opened in January 2018. The designers have a year to take their room ideas from concept to reality transforming a Scotch 80s neighborhood home.
The mission is to re-establish our city as a hub of design and incubator for world-class architecture, interior design and landscaping by restoring a classic property — all to benefit the nonprofit Core Academy.
Follow the journey at LVShowcase.org. The design team will be introduced at a preview kickoff party at the Design Center at World Market Center. When the house is completed, it will have an onsite cafe and a collection of boutique stores to display local designers’ work.
