Mother’s Day is Sunday — and it’s not always easy to make plans or find the perfect gift.
My mom lives in North Carolina, so I shipped over some fancy ice cream before learning my parents took an impromptu vacation to the beach this week. My package arrived yesterday. I think it’s still on the porch 📦 (Good luck dry ice. We’re all counting on you.)
If your mom lives here in Vegas, we’ve got a few ideas for Mother’s Day fun 😁
🫖 Tea for Two
- Urth Caffé at UnCommons celebrates Mother’s Day weekend on May 9 with Unconditionally Loved, featuring tea service, bites, and a free mini-bouquet.
- The Center has an inclusive Mad Hatters High Tea party on Mother’s Day with light bites, desserts, and an interactive game. It’s free, but secure your spot via RSVP.
🎭 Entertainment and the Performing Arts
- The Smith Center has a Motown Mother’s Day performance by R&B group Spectrum & Radiance. You can also bring mom a day earlier to Reynolds Hall for Pictures at an Exhibition, the Las Vegas Philharmonic’s season finale with new musical director Rei Hotoda.
- The Vegas Theater Company hosts the world premiere of “The Will to Live” throughout Mother’s Day weekend. The stage drama by Juliana Noble explores the relationship between a mother and daughter living under the same roof.
- The Beverly Theater always knows how to have fun with a theme, inviting movie fans to see “Magic Mike” and “Serial Mom” on Mother’s Day.
🍷 Wine Time
- Town Square welcomes the New Vista Wine Walk on Saturday for some Mother’s Day “pregaming” on Saturday. Stroll and sip through 18 wine tasting stations.
- Crush Pad Wine Bar has a Mother’s Day Spanish Spread with a cava bottle on Saturday.
☺️ Don’t Stress, Decompress
- Harmonizing Energy has a Mother’s Day Weekend Sound Bath with Horses on Saturday evening for those 18 and over.
- The Las Vegas Science & Natural History Museum has an “Are You My Mother?” Scavenger Hunt that’s perfect for all ages on Mother’s Day.
✂️ Arts n’ Crafts
- Fergusons Downtown has Mother’s Day Cake Decorating (May 9-10) and HerWaistBeads: Mommy & Me Bracelet Day (May 10).
- Red Rock Canyon hosts a Mother’s Day afternoon crafting session to learn about dark skies and nocturnal animals while making night sky postcards.
- The Dolores Huerta Resource Center in North Las Vegas is serving coffee and sweet bread during a Día de las Madres: Arte y Café painting session on Monday, May 11.
🍳 If All Else Fails … Brunch
Two of my favorite restaurants are debuting new brunches on Mother’s Day: Bar Boheme in the Arts District and Butcher & Thief at The Bend.
- You can also browse the menus at other new Las Vegas restaurants. [City Cast Las Vegas ✍️]
