Country Crawl If awards shows are your thing, Sunday brings the Academy of Country Music’s annual who’s who at MGM Grand.

Or hell, leave your wallet at home and hit Fremont Street’s free Friday and Saturday shows with Sara Evans and Ronnie Dunn onstage. April 1-4, various venues, times and prices.
