Special Performances of Viva ELVIS To Benefit Nevada Public Radio, 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.  A limited number of tickets for the performances at 7 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. will benefit and must be purchased through Nevada Public Radio.

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.

Current Nevada Public Radio members can purchase as many tickets as they like for the different levels of seating at the special price of $150 for front row, $125 for Tier I seating and $100 for Tier II seating. Tickets for all others are $175 each for front row seating, $150 for Tier I seating and $125 for Tier II seating and include a year's membership with Nevada Public Radio.
