Nevada Public Radio Offers Lower Ticket Prices For VIVA ELVIS 6/5

Nevada Public Radio listeners and members have a rare chance to support public radio while experiencing the Strip's newest Cirque du Soleil® production, Viva ELVIS^TM at ARIA Resort and Casino on June 5.

Viva ELVIS^TM was created in the image of and pays homage to the American icon who transformed popular music and whose name will forever be linked with the history of Las Vegas: Elvis Presley, The King of Rock 'n' Roll. A harmonious fusion of dance acrobatics and his timeless music is the backdrop for this nostalgic, modern and raw emotional experience focusing on the essential humanity of us all.

A limited number of tickets for the June 5 performances at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. will benefit and must be purchased through Nevada Public Radio.

Current Nevada Public Radio members and listeners can purchase as many tickets as they like for $70 to $75 less than box office prices.
