During its dark accommodation appearances on Monday and Monday, Mark Shunock Has a common joke on the debauchery that takes place on Polaris Drive and Harmon Avenue.
Space, which Shunock has founded and houses The dark Mondays And a myriad of performance, is only a few thirds of this corner. About eight years ago, Shunock converted a warehouse into a small fortress for charitable shows and musicization and cabaret music performances.
But the space is too small to contain the long -term vision of shunock. Its concept is about to evolve and move to the sandy terrain at the northwest corner of Polaris and Harmon. This is where the jokes stop.
The Space 2.0, a $ 50 million project reported, is announced on Monday afternoon on this site.
The name is a space reserved for the moment, until the ground is broken for the new space, in the fourth quarter of this year or at the beginning of 20026. A generous estimate of the opening would be the fourth quarter of 2028 .
The entertainment name checks that support the project are UFC Exec Dana White,, Nick Carter of Backstreet BoysA resident of Las Vegas dating from 2017 (about the opening of the space); actor Annette Benge; and comic strip star Brad GarrettOwner of his eponymous comedy club at MGM Grand.
The five -story community center and 80,000 square feet will take up a package granted to Shunock operations by the Clark County Commission.
The grant was approved about four years ago. Public works had used the package for the storage of construction equipment for the expansion of Harmon avenue. Commissioner Michael Naft, Who started to discuss this plan with Shunock about five years ago, will be on site for the event on Monday.
“Obviously, I think it’s a wonderful concept. I think that is something that our valley will benefit dramatically, “NAFT said on a telephone cat on Friday afternoon. “I think there are incredible stakeholders. What Mark has done for philanthropy in this community is noble and impressive, and I admire this work. But now it really does it at the upper level. »»
The concept is to create an annex to several levels which served entertainment and hotel professionals, the first stakeholders and tutoring services for those who wish to enter the arts and entertainment industry in Las Vegas.
A mental health establishment is also in the master plan.
Shunock told Hollywood Reporter, first to publish details on the project: “Forty million people visit Las Vegas each year to forget their problems, but in a city designed for visitors, the inhabitants do not always get the ‘Be careful that they deserve. “
Bening is president of the first registered office of Las Vegas of the entertainment fund. Shunock Covid online telethon collected funds and awareness of the ECF (formerly the funds of actors) in 2020.
Shunock and its board of directors have been working on the level of space 2.0 for about three years. He organizes information update sessions on space. A capital campaign to finance the fortress is underway, with 2 million dollars raised before the announcement on Monday.
Shunock arrived in Las Vegas in November 2012 as a member of the Lonny distribution in “Rock of Ages” during his race for the Venetian, in what is now the Voltaire Nightpot. His idea for a Dark Mondays community charitable organization was developed on the night of the overviews.
Since the first in 2013 in the English nightclub space at the time at Hard Rock Hotel (Les Virgin Hotels in Las Vegas), Mondays Dark has collected some $ 2 million for more than 200 charities. The event moved to the vinyl room (now 24 Oxford) before settling in space in ’17.
The shunock star went up with space. He is host in-arena for the Vegas Golden Knights, and the host and the advertiser of the ring for the Top Rank Boxing ESPN TV.
To a distant jet of his days when he wore a mule and a t-shirt “I love boobies” like Lonny, Shunock will host the first section of Saturday Keep living memory Power of Love Gala At MGM Grand Garden Arena. It is no less than the biggest annual philanthropic event in Las Vegas.

We had a radio silence (FM) on Celine Dion Until now in ’25. But the members of the present AEG and those responsible for the production of Janet Jackson ‘The residence S at Resorts World Theater took Santa Fe & The Fat City Horns Copa show at Bootlegger Bistro at the beginning of the month. We do not think it was linked to Céline directly, however Danny Falcone, Eric Tewalt, Phil Wigfall and Nathan Tanouye all supported Céline to the Colosseum.
No Céline in this Santa Fe show, but she is still welcome at the Kats table.
