The Green Valley community has always prided itself on its cultural pursuits, and with the construction of the $12 million Henderson Pavilion, its reputation as a haven for artists, musicians and the Southern Nevada landed gentry has only been further enhanced. Within months of its September 2002 opening, the Pavilion was playing host to the Las Vegas Philharmonic, the Nevada Ballet Theater and Opera Las Vegas, as well as concerts from such nationally known artists as Lee Greenwood, an arts and crafts fair, and the first Vegas Valley Book Festival. The outdoor venue is also the new home for Nevada's annual Shakespeare in the Park festival. The new facility is part of a $28 million project at Liberty Pointe, situated on 40 elevated acres that are also home to the new Paseo Verde Library and a Multigenerational Center and Aquatic Complex. The sail-like tension-fabric roof over the Pavilion's 2,500 covered seats is vaguely reminiscent of the Sydney Opera House. There is additional lawn seating for 5,000, though there's only parking on site for a fraction of a crowd that size. Shuttle bus service will be provided to almost every event, but it's best to call ahead to be certain. -- David Hofstede
