Live in Las VegasQueen Selena

Born in Havana, Cuba, Leandro Mena began his musical studies at age nine. By fourteen, he was already playing with some of Cuba's most renowned orchestras, including Pachito Alonso y sus Kini Kini, Orquesta Falide, and La Farándula, and appeared as a special guest with the famed all-female orchestra Anacaona at the Casa de la Música Miramar.

At sixteen, he joined the celebrated Cuban production "Havana Night" as a drummer, touring the world with the show before its major U.S. premiere in 2004, which took the production across numerous states.

Over his career, Leandro has worked and recorded with prominent American artists including the legendary Whitney Houston, The Platters, Derek Davis, Mashon, Jazz, and Roni Benise. In Latin music, his collaborations include 3D, Latin All Stars, Manolín "El Médico de la Salsa," Tony Vega, Maelo Ruiz, and Rey de la Paz, among others.

Today, Leandro produces music through his own label, Newstepsound, and performs as the drummer for the Queen Selena Show in Las Vegas.

As Seen In

The Showrooms at Alexis Park Resort, Las Vegas

Alexis Park Resort sits on Harmon Avenue, a few minutes east of the Strip — an all-suite, low-rise property with no casino floor, which is the reason it stays quieter than anything on Las Vegas Boulevard. Modern Showrooms is the entertainment side of it: four intimate rooms inside the resort where the shows actually play.

To be clear about what this site is — we run the showrooms and sell the show tickets. For hotel rooms you'll want the resort directly; for what's on stage tonight, you're in the right place.

The four rooms

Getting there and parking

375 East Harmon Avenue, roughly a five-minute drive from the centre Strip and close to the Virgin and Hard Rock corridor. Parking is free on site — worth noting, since most Strip resorts now charge for it. Rideshare drops at the main entrance and the showrooms are a short indoor walk from there.

What an evening here is like

These are small rooms by Las Vegas standards — hundreds of seats rather than thousands. You are close enough to see a performer's hands on a piano, the bands are live rather than tracked, and shows generally run a single set, so it's an evening you can pair with dinner elsewhere rather than a whole night committed. Tickets are booked direct with seats confirmed at checkout.
