NEON THURSDAY

Locals can get a jump on the three-day weekend and stay away from the Strip by checking out Air Supply at The Orleans.

The Australian duo of Graham Russell and Russ Hitchcock ruled adult-contemporary radio from 1980 through 1983 with ballads such as "All Out of Love" and "Even the Nights Are Better."

Russell has been working songs from his new solo album, "The Future," into the Air Supply’s shows.

Tickets are $27.50-$49.50 for the 8 p.m. show at 4500 W. Tropicana Ave. Call 365-7075.
