Vegas Nightlife Is Coming To Lincoln With VIVA LIED VEGAS!

Experience the excitement of Vegas without ever leaving Lincoln! The Friends of Lied non-profit organization invites the community to attend a new and exciting Vegas-inspired fundraising event on Saturday, February 4, 2023 at the Lied Center. Tickets are available at liedcenter.org/vegas.

The all new fundraiser Viva Lied Vegas will bring the best of Las Vegas-style entertainment to Lincoln for a memorable night of music from four live bands on four different stages, cocktails, a gourmet dinner on the Lied Center stage, dancing, Vegas-style gaming and more!

The Lied will be transformed into Destination Las Vegas with four stages of live entertainment. Every city has a soul, and the Main Stage will sway to the smooth sounds of jazz with Kathy Morrow & Friends. Classic Vegas fun will be found with Joseph Hall as Elvis in the Commons, the high-octane dance band The 402 will light up the Carson Theatre, and the High Roller Lounge is sure to bring luck to all with Bobby Gadoury singing Sinatra style tunes while guests play blackjack, craps, roulette, and more. Grab your friends and come play at Viva Lied Vegas!
