The Smith Center | Downtown Las Vegas Theaters
Three theaters in downtown Las Vegas: the 2,050-seat Reynolds Hall, Myron's Cabaret Jazz and the Troesh Studio Theater, open since March 2012.
Before 2012 Las Vegas was one of the largest cities in the country without a performing arts center; its stages belonged to the resorts. Ground broke on the downtown park block on May 26, 2009 on a David M. Schwarz design, and the center opened on March 10, 2012 with three theaters in two buildings. The Las Vegas Philharmonic and Nevada Ballet Theatre took up residence, and the building became the first performing arts center in the nation to be certified LEED Gold.
Downtown's performing arts campus, on the park block beside the Discovery Children's Museum: 2,050 seats in Reynolds Hall across five levels, plus a 240-seat jazz room and a 250-seat studio theater, under a 17-story carillon carrying 47 bells.
The Smith Center is the performing arts center of downtown Las Vegas, off the Strip and open since March 2012. Its three stages carry touring Broadway, the Las Vegas Philharmonic and Nevada Ballet Theatre, under a 17-story carillon tower holding 47 bells.
