MISC: HOME + HISTORY LAS VEGAS HERITAGE FESTIVAL The ninth annual version of this four-day event presented by the Nevada Preservation Foundation brings the opportunity to explore some significant Vegas spaces that aren’t as familiar as Strip spots but are no less essential to defining the way the city looks and feels. Home + History is a collection of dozens of tours and events, kicking off with a free happy hour at Frankie’s Tiki Room and a county proclamation ceremony at the Cue Club in Commercial Center. If those venues have piqued your interest, explore the Huntridge and Marycrest Districts walking tour, a Fremont Street stroll that will take you inside the first hotel room in Las Vegas, and educational events addressing local landscaping, interior design and sourcing supplies for vintage-era renovation projects. Find your connection to authentic Vegas here. Thru 4/28, times & venues & prices vary (starting at $15), nevadapreservation.org/home-history-las-vegas-2024/. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: ADAM ANT In the late 1970s, musician and actor Stuart Godard assumed the look of a 1700s rogue and took to calling himself Adam Ant—the name of the biblical first man, coupled with an insect with strong survival instincts. Those instincts would serve him well through the years. When Sex Pistols impresario Malcolm McLaren essentially stole his band Adam and the Ants (renaming them Bow Wow Wow), Ant assembled a new band with guitarist Marco Pirroni and made some of his biggest hits, like “Goody Two Shoes” and “Desperate But Not Serious.” He modified his approach as tastes changed, dropping alt-pop hits like “Wonderful” well into the 1990s. And when nostalgic fans and new, young converts came looking for him, he donned pirate swag and went hard on his driving, louche 1980s classics with the Ants—“Stand and Deliver,” “Prince Charming,” “Antmusic”—delivering them with swagger and panache. This ant won’t be crushed. With the English Beat. 7 p.m., $39, Event Lawn at Virgin, etix.com. –Geoff Carter

MISC: INTERNATIONAL URANIUM FILM FESTIVAL If Oppenheimer was only the beginning of your deep dive into the complicated and fascinating history of the Atomic Age, you’re in luck. The International Uranium Festival has been touring North America since its launch last month at the Navajo Nation Museum in Arizona, and it’s landing at Downtown’s Beverly Theater for two days. Planned are 11 screenings of documentaries and other works intended to open eyes “about risks and consequences of uranium mining, the use of nuclear power, nuclear arms and uranium weapons,” according to co-founder Norbert G. Suchanek. Hosted in Las Vegas by the Native Community Action Council, the event will include films such as 1990 documentary Building Bombs, and last year’s Demon Mineral, a portrait of life in the radioactive desert on the Navajo Reservation in our neighboring southwest states. Times vary, & 5/1, uraniumfilmfestival.org. –Brock Radke
