Smith Center for the Performing Arts

The Smith Center features international music, and dance companies and is the home of the Las Vegas Philharmonic and Nevada Ballet Theatre.

While plans for a new center were initially conceived around 1994, it was a donation in 2005, the second largest donation to performing arts in United States history, by the Donald W. Reynolds Foundation of $150 million, together with a car rental fee to repay bonds of $105 million initiated by Clark County and the State of Nevada, that move the public-private project towards construction.
