Where the Arts Make a Difference!
Welcome to the CSN Performing Arts Center, where we have an ongoing mission to support the arts—working together with the Department of Fine Arts as well as the local community to bring theater, music, dance and art productions to life. One of the main ways we accomplish the mission is by partnering with state and local organizations, community theaters, local dance studios and other performance artists to produce special events for our community throughout the year.
Our facilities boast state-of-the-art lighting and acoustics housed in a recently renovated theater featuring comfortable seating, free parking and the city’s most reasonable ticket prices. We’ve even been called “the best kept secret in Las Vegas,” something we’re extremely proud of.
We invite you to discover and celebrate the arts over and over again, and see for yourself what all the buzz is about.
Box Office Hours:
