Life Is Beautiful Block Party Lineup Released

Life Is Beautiful is going to look a lot different this year, as in it won't exist. The three-day multi-block takeover of Downtown Las Vegas as you know it won't be taking place. Instead, today we got our look at the Life Is Beautiful Block Party lineup, and depending on what you're into, it's great!

Get ready to dance! The parking lot next to Plaza Las Vegas is going to be thumping with amazing performances from several performers on September 27th and 28th. Here's a look at the Life Is Beautiful Block Party lineup:

The best part of the lineup? There are no overlapping sets. This means not having to decide which artist to watch when or (gasp) having your two favorite artists playing simultaneously. That's something that has been the worst part of Life Is Beautiful, When We Were Young, Lovers and Friends and other major music festivals lately.

The block party lineup is pretty good, but what has become of the "big show"? Where did Life Is Beautiful go? Well, they are working things out.

"For a number of reasons it was appropriate to hit pause on the Life is Beautiful Festival this year," organizers said in a statement. "We are hard at work reimagining and evolving the festival experience for the sake of you, the fans, and the incredible community that surrounds us. This event is not intended to replace the festival."

You try booking a show with a fresh line-up with When We Were Young, iHeart Music Festival and other major events in the same month, not to mention all of the venues in town. It's not easy!

That said, we are glad to see the Life Is Beautiful Block Party lineup released. Tickets go on presale this Thursday at 10 a.m. with two-day passes starting at $199. You'll need to pre-register on LifeIsBeautiful.com in order to get that presale code.

Summer vacation is upon us. So, where to? Maybe the Poop Museum!

There are some great places, national parks, monuments, and museums to visit and explore in the United States. Some great places in the state of Nevada, that you probably didn't even know about. And we'll get to those. But I have to share one of the places I just found out about.

If you drive about four hours from Las Vegas, you will find an amazing place. The Grand Canyon? Yes - but no. It's right near the beautiful Grand Canyon - but you can always see that.

Yeppers! I'm talking about the brand new - world's largest museum - for fossilized POOP!

It just opened in Williams, Arizona near the Grand Canyon. And they gave it the perfect name:  The Poozeum. Yes, I'm serious.

If you're looking for a fun road trip this summer, this cool(?) - uh, interesting(?) - new attraction just opened, in the small town of Williams, Arizona, on historic Route 66.

Most people who visit The Poozeum are actually on their way to the Grand Canyon. It's about 60 miles south of it.  But, dare I say - it smells like the Grand Canyon has some stiff competition now. (Oh shut up - that was clever, and you know it)

The poop museum just opened in downtown Williams, and it is the largest poop museum! It specifically highlights fossilized dinosaur poop. So there is definitely something to it.

The term for fossilized feces is coprolite. (COP-rolite, not CRA - well, you got it.)  They've got around 8,000 pieces in their collection, including the largest dinosaur poop ever found: a two-foot-long specimin that they think belonged to a T-rex.

Believe it or not, the museum is free.  So if you're passing through Williams, it won't cost you anything. But I think just getting a picture in front of it is reason enough to stop. Because of the name alone!

Definitely check out The Poozeum if you are heading to the Grand Canyon. Or just GO!

Here are some strange and interesting Nevada attractions you might enjoy.

The Clown Motel is just plain weird. And it is said to be haunted - which is not hard to believe. I have been to it, but refuse to stay, because it is like something out of the X-Files the Scully and Mulder would have even avoided, But it is quite the tourist attraction. At least check out the weird gift shop.    

It's a tree with a bunch of shoes hanging over branches. The story is that a couple got in their first fight as newlyweds, they had an argument right near the tree, and one left the other walking home, without shoes. They patched things up, but made an anniversary tradition out of going back each year to throw a shoe on the tree. It's interesting. In Dayton, Nevada, about 50 miles from Fallon Nevada, on The Loneliest Road In America.

The call it the Free Range Art Gallery. There are dozens of cars, vans, and trucks half-buried, or sticking straight up out of the ground, and even on top of each other. These are the canvas, and they are really colorful, and festive. It's a really cool sight to see, in the living ghost town of Goldfield. 

The Seven Magic Mountains were supposed to be a temporary exhibit, but they have been up since 2016. About 20 minutes outside of Las Vegas are seven fluorescent colored, 11 story rock towers. They have become a bit of  have become something of a cult classic, and they are a GREAT photo op. A really cool sight to see! 

There were over 900 atomic tests in Nevada. And people would take buses to see the testing. It was a huge draw for Las Vegas, and people came in from everywhere. People would bus out to the test site, put their goggles on, have a cocktail, and enjoy watching the mushroom clouds in the sky. It was quite the attraction on Las Vegas in the 50's. The Atomic Testing Museum, though, is quite amazing, and full of history. A huge, actual, nuclear reactor, a backpack nuke, and personal atomic weapons. Yikes! But the Oppenheimer era was fierce in Las Vegas.

The Little A'Le'Inn is just as kitschy as you would imagine! You can stay there, eat there, and shop. All a play on the Area 51 test site, that is not too far down the road. And all part of the heyday of the Las Vegas atomice times. Do NOT try to trek on over to Area 51, and think you'll get past anything. Lights go on, and guards swarm in from nowhere! Just keep close to the Inn.
