PARTY: DISCOPUSSY TWO-YEAR ANNIVERSARY PARTY Fremont East funk forum Discopussy was built on a simple and undeniable concept: All you need to create a hot afterhours dance spot is a big, dark, sweaty space and a willingness to book great DJs. An LED octopus with 5,000 light-emitting diodes installed on the ceiling also helps. The Downtown trendsetter has hosted some huge names so far, from its Claude VonStroke residency and DJ sets from Chromeo to groove legends Danny Tenaglia, Chris Liebing and Will Clarke. Discopussy celebrates two years of changing the local nightlife game with sets from Bender and Tiga, a hosted open bar and other special guests and surprises to kick-start the weekend, which also includes a Holy House session on November 18 with Walker & Royce. 11 p.m., free, discopussydtlv.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: THE ALL-TOGETHERS When Cindy Osborne became a travel nurse early in the COVID-19 pandemic, it signaled an exciting new chapter for her and her husband, Ken. The couple sold most of their possessions, bought an RV and began traveling around the country, spending three months at a time in cities like Durham, North Carolina; South Hero, Vermont; and West Palm Beach, Florida. It also signaled the end of the Osbornes’ Las Vegas-based band, The All-Togethers, whose acoustic, Appalachian folk had been a key piece of the local soundtrack for a decade or so. Or at least, we thought it was the end. But on November 19, The All-Togethers will rise again—for one night only, they say—with the Osbornes reuniting with onetime bandmates Michael Louis Austin, Brenna Lee and Brandon Madejek for a gig at Red Dwarf. 

The quintet has practiced twice in preparation, once in Salt Lake City, once here in Vegas, and the latter reminded the Osbornes how much this place still means to them. “We’ve always been slightly nomadic, but coming down the 15, you crest and see the top of the Strat, and the city unfolds before you,” Ken says. “We almost teared up. It’s the first place we’ve considered home in a long time.” With The Devil’s Duo, 9 p.m., free, Red Dwarf, reddwarflv.com. –Spencer Patterson

MISC: IMMERSIVE NUTCRACKER A holiday tradition for nearly 130 years, The Nutcracker has always been a feast for the senses. The magical Christmas tale, set in the land of toy soldiers and glittering, wintry forests, is one of the ballet’s greatest triumphs. And its score, composed by one Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, has certainly stood the test of time. Now, the Immersive Nutcracker aims to take that wonder to another place. The winter spectacle, created by the producers of the Immersive Van Gogh exhibit, will bring 500,000 cubic feet of stunning projections to Lighthouse Artspace, highlighting memorable segments moments like “March of the Toy Soldiers” and “The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy” in one room. It’s the holiday classic as you’ve never seen it before, and might never again. 11 a.m.-4 p.m., $35, the Shops at Crystals, immersive-nutcracker.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: SGT. PAPERS Let’s get this straight: Sgt. Papers isn’t a Beatles tribute act. It’s a brother duo (Felipe and Ivan García) from Hermosillo, Mexico, whose first release, back in 2017, just happened to be titled Sgt. Papers Lonely Psych Punk Band. Confused? A night under the influence of the Garcías’, um, psych-punk should cure that. It’s the type of fast, fuzzed-out stuff best absorbed in a dive bar, so it’s fitting that Sgt. Papers will play Las Vegas’ Dive Bar on November 21, with support from locals Viaje Nahual and Orange Eats Creeps. Come together, and wish Felipe and Ivan hello/goodbye. 8 p.m., $7-$10, the Dive Bar, eventbrite.com. –Spencer Patterson

PARTY: DRINKSGIVING WITH FLO RIDA There’s never really a slowdown when it comes to partying in Las Vegas, but the closest thing would probably be Thanksgiving. And it makes sense, considering the family-focused holiday is all about staying home, eating too much and watching football. But the Fremont Street Experience won’t let you go quietly this year. The casino-lined Downtown promenade is bringing back its “blackout block party,” DrinksGiving, running from the afternoon into the wee hours Wednesday for everyone who needs a rager before turkey day. From 4 until 8 p.m., the Great Onesie Bar Crawl gives you an excuse to wear your pajamas in public as you bounce between Fremont Street watering holes, and then Flo Rida hits the Third Street Stage for a live concert. Here’s hoping pumpkin pie cures hangovers. 4 p.m., $35+, Fremont Street Experience, vegasexperience.com or greatonesie.com. –Brock Radke
