Strip Tips: High times ahead at Dinner in the Sky

Soon, people will get to actually “hang out” over dinner in Las Vegas.

Later this month, Dinner in the Sky Las Vegas will break ground near the Strip; opening is scheduled for early summer. The restaurant will specialize in dinners served to people who are dangling in the air by a six-point safety harness. The view is sure to dazzle.

Guests will sit, or hover, at tables that will be permanently attached to a 200-foot-high steel tower. And don’t worry, there will be bar and lounge at ground level for those who prefer gazing up at people eating in the sky over doing it themselves.

Dinner packages start at $290 per person for a three-course meal, wine pairing and free photo of their experience. Eight nightly seatings will be offered at 5, 5:30, 6:30, 7, 8, 8:30, 9:30 and 10 p.m.

The Voodoos

The Voodoos, a five-piece Irish rock band, are scheduled to play a special acoustic set at 11 p.m. Saturday at Ri Ra at Mandalay Place.

The band has played alongside American rock bands Hinder, Buckcherry, Fozzy and Candlebox. In 2011, The Voodoos won the honor of opening for Snow Patrol at the MTV Europe Music Awards in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

The band’s first album debuted in November. Their first official U.S. tour kicked off Tuesday in Aspen, Colo.

Art auction

Art lovers, now is your chance to own paintings by Andy Warhol, Pablo Picasso or even Rembrandt.

The Martin Lawrence Galleries will hold its second annual spring art auction at 6:30 p.m. Saturday at The Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. More than 1,200 works by modern masters and contemporary artists such as Warhol, Picasso, Chagall, Haring, Erte, Kondakova, Deyber, Hallam, Rembrandt, Murakami, Miro and others will be for sale.
