Locals Only: Hair, there everywhere

Just the thought of all that chafing makes us wince.

But if you were ever going to try it, now’s the time as Vince Neil and Habitat for Humanity present the Big Hair 5k.

Check-in begins at 6:30 a.m. Saturday at The District, 2225 Village Walk Drive in Henderson.

Participants are invited to dress as their favorite hair-metal icon, and each race packet contains a shirt, a green or blue mullet wig and a spiked bracelet.

If walking in those leather pants is more your speed, there’s a 1-mile fun walk as well.

Registration for both events is $25, with proceeds benefiting Habitat for Humanity. For more information, see habitrot.org.

Stones, guitar alone

Sure, everybody associates the Rolling Stones with rock ’n’ roll. But “Satisfaction” has a softer side, as guitarists John Batdorf and James Lee Stanley demonstrate at noon Friday with unplugged, acoustic versions of Stones favorites during their free “All Wood and Stones” concert in the jury assembly room at the Lloyd George U.S. Courthouse, 333 Las Vegas Blvd. South. For more information, call 702-229-3515 or visit artslasvegas.org.

Tastes to try

The restaurants at the South Point, 9777 Las Vegas Blvd. South, have introduced new menu items. Additionally, Big Sur Oyster Bar and Baja Miguel’s now offer $7.95 lunch specials. At Big Sur, where they’re available from noon to 4 p.m. Mondays through Thursdays, they’re the Big Sur Shrimp Salad and fish tacos. At Baja Miguel’s, where they’re available from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Wednesdays through Sundays, they’re Carne a la Plancha, Chicken Cilantro, Chile Relleno Norteno, Fish Tacos Puerto Nuevo or Flauta Punta Sur; they come with chips and salsa, guacamole and bean dip and rice and beans.

Dancin’ in the street

The Dillinger in Boulder City has become a home for original and eclectic bands, even though the place is so small they usually play out on the sidewalk. For the third year, the music spills all the way into the street for Saturday’s free, all-ages Dillinger Block Party. Nine acts play from noon to 11 p.m., including Same Sex Mary, Rusty Maples, Jack Evan Johnson and Thee Swank Bastards.

Devildriver you know

A sampling of song titles from “Winter Kills,” the latest record from concussive groove metallers Devildriver: “Ruthless,” “Desperate Times,” “Gutted,” “Oath of the Abyss.” Ain’t no party like a Devildriver party, ’cause a Devildriver party don’t stop … until you’re dead. See them at 7:30 p.m. Thursday at Hard Rock Live, 3771 Las Vegas Blvd. South. Tickets are $18 in advance, $22 day of show call 702-733-7625.
