Seal at The Pearl

When we think of Seal, we think of the adult contempo hit “Kiss From a Rose” (or of the artist being attacked by wolves in the Lonely Island comedy Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping). But listen to the original version of “Killer,” with Adamski. The man can get funky, and he howls better than any wolf. With Devon Werkheiser. July 19, 8 p.m., $45-$230. –Geoff Carter

Iconic Nightclub Grand Opening

After relocating from LA to Las Vegas two years ago, theater actor Adam Simmons discovered what he describes as a gap in the LGBTQ scene here. After a night of partying with friends at a local gay club, they all had the same question: “Where else do we go?”

Though a handful of bars in Las Vegas cater to the LGBTQ community, Simmons had something specific in mind—more like the nightclubs in LA and New York City. “I thought, what happened to the old nightclub on the other side of town?” he says, referring to Share, the gay nightclub that shuttered in 2016. Interest piqued, Simmons reached out to the owners of the building, and seven months later, he emerged with plans for a new LGBTQ nightclub, Iconic, to reopen in its place. Iconic opens on July 19 and will feature drag shows, go-go boys, performers and more.

Having acted in Broadway productions, Simmons hopes to bring some of that flavor to Las Vegas. “I think of this as a theater, not just a nightclub,” he says. “The moment you walk in the club, you’re in the show.” July 19, 10 p.m., $10 (free with local ID), 4636 S. Wynn Road, iconicnightclub.com. –Leslie Ventura
