The possibilities for hip-hop escapades are growing, thanks to EDM counterprogramming, the trap (hip-hop + electronic dance music) fad and rising nostalgia for the heyday of rap. But 1 Oak remains the ideal destination, especially with old-school promotions like Flashback Fridays; DJs that lay off the European dance anthems; and guest acts such as Nicki Minaj, Too Short, Ludacris—even Kanye West has been a featured performer. Mirage, 702-693-8300. Tue, Fri & Sat, doors at 10:30 p.m., cover varies.
