Las Vegas Academy, one of the magnet schools of the Las Vegas Public School District, has prepared a series of student produced and student led theater performances.
The Five Plays
• You Want Freedom Fries With That?
“An original theater piece about being an American teenager in an increasingly small world, written and conceived by the Roncalli Drama Festival Ensemble, performed at the Roncalli Drama Festival in Poggibonsi, Siena, Italy, in the heart of Tuscany.”
• Mixed Babies
“Five teenage girls of color discuss life, love, relationships, and friendship in this compelling short play.”
• Coffee Con Carnage
“An original sketch conceived and performed by the students of the Mime and Improvisation Class.”
• Sorry, Wrong Number
“A classic one act thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat.”
• The Intermission
“A playwright listens clandestinely to the reactions of the intermission crowd at the premiere of his new play: a surprisingly insightful look at how we perceive what others think about our art.”
History of the Las Vegas Academy
Established in 1992 by the Las Vegas Public School District and area universities, the Las Vegas Academy is committed to fostering student skills in the arts and communication. This magnet school includes students from all over Clark County at its campus in an historic urban shopping district.
Las Vegas Schools students pursue a major in one of the following fields: dance, vocal music, instrumental music, international studies, piano, theater, theater technology, and visual arts. The school operates longer than other schools in the area in order to pack in all the subjects that students need to study in this arts intensive program. Classes are organized on a block schedule, in which students take regular academic classes every other day and major classes every day.
This aggressive approach to education has earned the Las Vegas Academy many honors, both state and nationwide. Including awards from the White House, Senators Reid, Bryan, and Ensign, former Governor Miler and former Las Vegas mayor Jones, the Academy has also garnered attention from the International Network of Performing and Visual Arts schools and been labeled a STAR school. In addition to winning three Grammy Signature School awards, the Academy has been recognized by the U.S. Department of Education as both a New American High School and a U.S. Blue Ribbon School.
The Student Experience at Las Vegas Academy
Students of the Las Vegas Academy compete through a tough screening process just to attend, including an audition as well as maintaining a high grade point average in their regular academic subjects. While students at other area high schools attend class for 50 minutes a day, students at Las Vegas Academy go for 86 minutes. The school day also goes one hour longer overall. This hard work pays off with over sixty percent of graduates enrolling in four year universities. The series of short plays to be produced by the theater and theater technology departments will be just one of many ways in which Las Vegas Academy students present their hard work and dedication to the local community.

Nice work, you did pretty good.
You will never be bored in Las Vegas. Not only is it affordable, and very luxurious but full of activities. You don't have to gamble or have a lot of money to have a great time.
Here is a list of free attractions

and also tips on how to get cheap flight and cheap hotels.
All I can say is Vegas Baby!!
stay AWAY from downtown.
I live on south las vegas blvd (south strip) the nice area… there is a http://www.budgetsuites.com/ that offers weekly rates and it is nicely located by stores (cvs pharmacy, chilis 'i think', food for less and the silverton 'bass pro shop' casino is half a mile away) and freeways.
there is a bus stop right in front and no homeless people hanging out like in the downtown area
the city center is currently hiring for the end of this year and that is only a couple of miles fro here

The further from the strip the better. The Southwest is a newer area and still building up. A lot of younger families have purchases houses in that area. It is outside of the 215 from Jones and west from there. Still has desert area out that way but quiet and safer than most. Schools are newer since it is a new area. Problem is there is no bus service to that part of the valley.
Food is actually pretty reasonable here except for bread. There is no local big name bakery here so all bread is trucked in from California. Utilities are high. Look for electric bill to be between $200 and $400 per month during the summer depending on the size and age of your home. Look for car license to be around $1000 a year depending on value and age of your car. Auto insurance is very high here.
I'm often flying out to Vegas with work. I've used a few different websites but I'd say Expedia offer the best deal, often in terms of price and service. As a business traveller I like to know everything is taken care of which is why I tend not to go for the cheapest option.
Dude, I played craps w. Dennis Rodman in Vegas once, and it was…not so much an experience. Also, I have never heard of this place (and I go to Vegas about every other month, but I'm old, so whatever). If this is some cool happening place, I would suggest you get your bartending license and work at wherever you can, while pitching/schmoozing whoever hires bartenders at Scores. Eventually it will happen (although the place could easily become old news by then–the average lifespan of the "hot place' in Vegas is about 2 months).
it takes a while, ugotta become a police officer too and they would probably bump you up higher since ur a lready a marine and u have training form b4
Great talent Der Mann.
You’re really good man. You’ve got excellent talent.
Brilliant Willy, Just Brilliant =D
the list right now is 1 1/2 years long im afraid, my dads friend needs one to put games in his bar. hes been waiting for a year now, so unless you know somebody then itll be a while. but you have to appear in front of the nevada board of gaming and present them your business plan. they really accept anybody, but you just have to wait. if you go onto the clark county website you can get more info on the board of gaming. good luck
40 to 50 k a year. not including tips
Excellent work. Pleasure to watch. Perfect music

Incredible! He looks so life like. Just amazing…and what a beautiful subject
North Las Vegas is good (not the old part of town near the city hall though).
Boulder City is good, my boyfriend lives there and it's a very cute town.
I would NEVER live downtown! never. The only people who live downtown are hobos
I'm not too familiar with Henderson, but from what I've seen it seems nice, though there are probably some bad parts, as with all cities.
