Top 10 things to do in Las Vegas this week

Here are Neon’s top picks for things to do in Las Vegas from Friday, Aug. 7, through Thursday, Aug. 13:

through the week

‘Craft Fields’

“Craft Fields” is the latest exhibition presented by UNLV’s Master of Fine Arts program. “The works on view highlight how artists engage specific materials and processes as a means of articulating ideas, emphasizing how making itself becomes a form of thinking,” according to the official description. It’s on display daily, Friday through Oct. 24, at the Sahara West Library. Admission is free.

friday

Karol G

“Ahora todos quieren una colombiana (Now everyone wants a Colombian girl),” Karol G asserts on her most recent album, last summer’s “Tropicoqueta,” and the reggaeton superstar has plenty to do with that as the first Latina to headline a global stadium tour (2023’s “Manana Sera Bonito” outing). She’s back at it with a brand-new record, “No Me Arrepiento de Sentir Tanto,” out this week. Celebrate its release with her at 7 p.m. Friday at Allegiant Stadium. Tickets start at $172; ticketmaster.com.

Whethan

One of downtown Las Vegas’ best nightspots, Susbtance turns 2 with hip-hop-leaning EDM wunderkind Whethan blowing out the birthday candles with bass. This one will sell out for sure, so get tickets now if you want to see Whethan at 10 p.m. Friday at Substance, 450 Fremont St., No. 270. Tickets are $41; substancelv.com.

saturday

Seafood boil

Beginning at 5 p.m. Saturday, The Front Yard in Ellis Island is hosting its I Don’t Give a Fork seafood boil featuring crawfish, clams, snow crab, oysters, mussels, sausage, a selection of sides and a pint. It costs $50, with an additional charge for Alaskan king crab (see event page for pricing), and all-you-can-drink beer for $25 more; ellisislandcasino.com/events.

Joy of Wine & Music

From 7 to 10 p.m. Saturday, Crush Pad wine bar, 7865 W. Sahara Ave., is presenting The Joy of Wine & Music, a fundraiser for the Las Vegas Men’s Chorus. The event features 35-plus global wines poured and discussed by 10-plus sommeliers, a charcuterie spread, nonalcoholic options, a four-song performance by the chorus, blind selection and unwrapping of $20 bottles ($5 goes to the chorus), and take-home bottles for purchase ($5 goes to the chorus). Tickets are $150; crushpadwinebar.com.

Kali Uchis

Motherhood looms over pretty much everything on “Sincerely,” the fifth album from alt-R&B fireball Kali Uchis. The record was created amid the birth of her first child and the death of the woman who gave birth to her. As such, the record is her most poignant, personal and, yes, sincere. See her at 8 p.m. Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. Tickets start at $55; axs.com.

sunday

Aces watch party

Start your Sunday with the Aces as the Palms hosts a poolside watch party. Giveaways, themed drinks and drink specials will be offered as the Aces travel to take on the New York Liberty. Palms Pool will open at 9 a.m. ahead of the 9:30 a.m. game. Admission is free.

monday

‘Ocean’s Eleven’

It’s the embodiment of Las Vegas cool. Watch George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon and their crew rob the city blind in “Ocean’s Eleven,” next door to the Bellagio where several classic sequences were filmed. The experience is part of The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas’ Dive In Movies series. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Monday and the movie begins at 8 p.m. at the Boulevard Pool. Admission is $10 for locals, who can park for free with validation; ticketmaster.com.

tuesday

Japanese duo

Beginning at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday, Joe’s Seafood, Prime Steak & Stone Crab in the Forum Shops at Caesars is presenting a five-course wagyu tasting, including A5 Japanese wagyu, paired with expressions of Japanese Shibui Whisky, including the highly sought-after Single Grain Rare Cask Reserve 23-Year-Old.

wednesday

Perseids watch party

Lake Mead Mohave Adventures invites stargazers to Temple Bar overnight Wednesday (11 p.m. to the early morning hours of Thursday) for the Perseid meteor shower, which coincides with the new moon. Under ideal conditions, viewers might see up to 90 meteors per hour. If Lake Mead is too far from you, visit Mount Charleston, Red Rock Canyon or anywhere else away from city lights.
