McAllen's downtown nightlife has transformed the common idiom "there's an elephant in the room". Surely, the Elephant Room, housed in McAllen's historical ice house, speaks truths about staying cool on warm nights. A hip entertainment venue, the Elephant Room is subtle, yet as freshly empowering as their fresh-fruit martinis. Glasses tapping against each other, bodies moving to the beat of weekly musical treats and a luxurious lounge atmosphere fail to go unnoticed by those looking for a great evening out.

Youthful musicians once stood in line nervously waiting their turn, turning pages of their music faster than the eye can read and humming their audition solos to themselves. Now they stride confidently on stage as proud members of the world renowned Valley Symphony Orchestra & Chorale. Six concerts a season offer an exciting opportunity to lose oneself in Rossini, Beethoven, Brahms or the sheer magnitude of 80 local musicians performing together. SEE AD IN THIS SECTION
