Where to see free live music this week in Las Vegas

Just about every lounge, many restaurants and neighborhood venues offer live music through the week. Here’s your guide to who’s playing where around Las Vegas this week.

Phish fully inhabit David Bowie classic in Halloween show

It was the words of an extraterrestrial rock star that united the dancing can of Spam and the dude dressed like He-Man with a Grateful Dead tattoo on his brick-thick biceps Monday at the MGM Grand Garden: “Let all the children boogie.”

Justin Williams’ tunes rise above din of Vegas’ DIY punk scene

Williams’ two groups — Five Beer Plan and The Social Set — are part of a vibrant substratum of the Vegas music scene consisting of bands that mostly play all-ages house shows and off-the-grid spots. In these circles, he’s a burgeoning voice, a gifted, prolific writer whose pop savvy brightens his noisy, scruffy tunes.

Notable Las Vegans offer their requests for Phish’s Halloween cover album

The quirky jam band visits the MGM Grand for four nights, capped by its tradition of “musical costume” in the fan-favorite Halloween night concert.

T-Mobile Arena audience sings Kanye West’s praises

The scenario that the 20,000 or so true believers sang of so lustily was no more within their reach than the man rolling his shoulders and stomping his feet half a dozen feet above their outstretched arms.

i_1	I'm staying on the Strip. What's a must-see attraction?	The Las Vegas Strip is full of iconic sights. We narrowed down the list to a handful that you can check out for free or at a (relatively) low cost. The attractions range from a free, 14,000-square-foot garden at Bellagio to riding a gondola through the Venetian, as well as The High Roller, Shark Reef, Sphere Experience, rides at the Strat and The Fountains of Bellagio. Check out the attractions.
i_2	Where should I grab a drink in downtown Las Vegas?	As the downtown Arts District has grown in recent years, so has its bar scene. We highlight five of the best spots to grab a cold one or a high-end cocktail. This list has something for everyone, including a punk rock dive bar, a hidden experimental cocktail bar, locals' favorites and many more. Stop by Liquid Diet, Velveteen Rabbit, Berlin Bar, Rebar, Garagiste and others. Check it out.
i_3	What are the most unique experiences in Las Vegas?	Plenty of gems throughout the Silver State await those who are willing to wander outside of the Las Vegas Valley. For those with desert wanderlust — or who would enjoy a skydiving free fall with views of Hoover Dam at 120 mph — the list is fodder for bucket lists and exploration. It also includes a hot spring in ghost town Gold Point, mining Nevada's state gemstone, climbing Mount Whitney near Reno, zip-lining the Fremont Street Experience and clear-boat canoeing on Lake Tahoe. Read the guide.
i_4	What are some family-friendly things to do in Las Vegas?	The first day of school is fast approaching for K-12 students, but there’s still time for summer fun. Whether the family wants to get up close and personal with wildlife, explore nature, experience immersive art or cool off in a nice pool, Las Vegas offers something for everyone before school bells toll again Aug. 12. This includes seeing big cats at Lion Habitat Ranch, the Flamingo wildlife habitat, the "origins of Las Vegas" at Springs Preserve and more. See our guide.
i_5	Which resort pools admit Las Vegas locals?	As the sun beats hotter and hotter on the Las Vegas Valley throughout the summer, locals without an easy way to cool down may find themselves jealous of the tourists relaxing on their poolside lounge chairs. But there’s no need for bad vibes. Several resorts around the Las Vegas Valley allow area residents into their resort pool areas — some even for free, like Palms and Park MGM. Get your swim on.
i_6	I want to hit the club but don't know where to start. Where should I go?	Twenty-thousand-pound chandeliers, lighting rigs designed to look like spacecraft and $40,000 bottle service. No, there’s nothing quite like the nightlife scene in Las Vegas. But with so many high-end clubs vying for your dollar (dollars by the thousand, to be more accurate), where to begin? Right here with this guide to some of the biggest and best spots on the Strip: Drai's, Hakkasan, Marquee, Omnia and others.
