Honest Abe’s Imagination Celebration

Yes, citizens, we’re going to party like its 1864!  Part steampunk ball, part carnival, this celebration of our state’s visionary spirit will be a grand reimagining of the future through the wondrous lens of the past. We’ll view the original Emancipation Proclamation as El Radio Fantastique rouses imaginations with a uniquely antique menagerie of sights, sounds and musical styles. Dress in costume of appropriate flair: think Civil War meets Jules Verne meets the wild subconscious of a boyhood Lincoln. Includes complimentary desserts and savory treats. Additional entertainment by Shovelman and DJ Ezra Croft.  Please note:  Tickets are non refundable, non exchangeable.  Tickets are available for purchase at the door.

Sponsored by Barrick Gold.  Membership support by NV Energy.  Major support by Camelot Party Rentals and Sands Regency Hotel/Casino.  Media support by KTHX 100.1 FM. Additional promotional support by High Desert Steam.
