Community Calendar

Expanded programming hours every 4th saturday with a focus on family-friendly activities and fun

Changes over the course of the nineteenth century in how Americans voted, from voice vote to public ballot box to private voting booth, also saw changes in the material culture that surrounded voting. Ballots and ballot boxes, campaign pins and ribbons, blank lists and pre-printed party tickets, lanterns and banners–the creative forces of the American print industry filled the country’s cities and small towns with the ephemera of electioneering.

As you look at the items in this exhibit, think about what they tell us about how Americans in the past felt about voting, and about how voting felt. How did Election Days feel when they were full of parades and music and public drinking? What was it like to vote when everyone around you knew who you voted for? And, most of all, who counted as a voter, and who did the counting?

On view September 11-December 22, weekdays from 12-4 pm.

Since breaking out on America's Got Talent and Penn & Teller: Fool Us, viral sensation Piff the Magic Dragon has captured the nation's heart with his unforgettable television appearances, Las Vegas residency, national sold-out tours and an absolute devotion to snacks.

A masterful blend of stand-up comedy and jaw-dropping magic, delivered with his signature dry British wit, Piff, alongside his co-star Mr Piffles, the World's First Magic Performing Chihuahua™, have headlined the iconic

Flamingo Hotel and Casino, entertaining over 500,000 guests since 2015. Though Mr Piffles recently passed away after more than 5,000 memorable performances, his legacy continues with Mr Piffles II, a scientifically cloned and equally magical successor who has seamlessly joined Piff on stage. The pair recently celebrated an extension of their residency with a new three-year deal, solidifying Piff's place as one of Vegas's premier acts.

In May 2024, Piff was honored as Magician of the Year by the Academy of Magical Arts, also known as The Magic Castle, joining previous recipients such as Penn & Teller, David Blaine and Siegfried & Roy.

Previously, Piff was named one of Variety's Top Ten Comics to Watch, crowned champion of TBS' Tournament Of Laughs, and made history as the first performer to win Best Comedian, Best Magician and Best Headliner at the Best Of Las Vegas Awards. In addition to his accolades, Piff has performed at legendary venues including Radio City Music Hall, Sydney Opera House, and even the London Zoo.
