The Casablanca Casino is hosting a pool party this weekend which is free to anyone over the age of 21.

The entertainment at Casablanca pool party will be the band Phoenix which is a Classic Rock band based out of Las Vegas, Nevada.

The band consists of five world-class musicians who have extensively worked with major recording artists in both national and international performances.

Phoenix has performed for audiences throughout Las Vegas, Arizona and California,

They have also performed for two years with standing-room-only crowds at the New York-New York Hotel & Casino,  they’ve had extended engagements at Mandalay Bay, the Las Vegas Hilton and South Point main showrooms.

Thanks to the folks at the Casablanca you can chill by the pool right here in Mesquite and rock out to a band that is known around Las Vegas for delivering a powerful, exciting, and authentic rock performance.

During the week you can keep yourself entertained and busy by joining one or both of two Virgin Valley Theater Group workshops.

On Monday you can soar as high as your imagination will allow when you join other theatre enthusiasts and professional Entertainer/Choreographer/Dancer/Actor/Director Dan Nielsen on stage in the zany, comedy and movement workshop, Fly Willie.

Fly Willie is open and free to anyone wanting to work on the physical aspects of comedy, movement and characterization.  No registration is required, the workshop is on an ongoing basis, every Monday evening, throughout the summer.

Monday, Wednesday and Friday you can join the Virgin Valley Theatre Group in their Shakespeare workshops.

The goal of the Virgin Valley Theatre Group workshop is to make Shakespeare accessible to everyone.

The group would like to invite all members of the community to take part either in the workshops, as an actor or audience member.

Shakespeare in the pavilion will be free to the community; prior registration is required to join the workshop; you are not required to register to be a part of the audience.
