  • Laugh: Jim Gaffigan at Encore Theatre

    He’s been a standout in nearly every movie in which he’s appeared, from Super Troopers to Luca. He’s dominated on television, both as part of an ensemble (My Boys) and as the star (The Jim Gaffigan Show). He’s a bestselling author, he’s won an Emmy for his CBS Sunday Morning commentaries, and he’s deconstructed the “Hot Pockets” theme to the level of high art. We’re lucky to get this smart, versatile and very, very busy stand-up comic for two nights in a row. August 6 & 7, 8 p.m., $85-$140. Wynn. –Geoff Carter

  • Fest: Mountain Fest at Lee Canyon

    Summer’s on the wane, with kids returning to schools, and Lee Canyon’s sending it out in style with the return of Mountain Fest. A full day of fun for the family awaits with live music, food trucks and vendor booths. Activities include the Birdies and Beers disc golf tournament and an archery and ax-throwing fundraiser. And the best things are free: the crisp, mountain air and space to spread out. Free admission (beer garden $25-$35), leecanyonlv.com.

  • Jam: Moksha at Sand Dollar Lounge

    It’s been 18 months since the Vegas jam masters of Moksha last played a show—February 2, 2020, to be exact—so look for drummer Pat Gray, bassist John Heishman, guitarist Jeremy Parks and keyboardist Brian Triola to let loose with some serious pent-up improv energy during this scheduled four-hour performance. A three-piece horn section will join the core quartet, bringing even more firepower to the party. 10 p.m., no cover, 3355 Spring Mountain Road. –Spencer Patterson

  • Party: Jack Harlow at Ayu Dayclub

    What’s poppin’? Jack Harlow at Ayu Dayclub, that’s what. The Kentucky-based rapper returns to the outdoor venue at Resorts World for his third appearance as a resident artist there. Expect to hear bangers from debut That’s What They All Say and a possible verse from “Industry Baby,” his latest hit with Lil Nas X. August 6, 10:30 p.m., $50-$150. –Amber Sampson

  • Slam: NBA Summer League at Thomas & Mack Center/Cox Pavilion

    Las Vegas has been hoops central lately—with the Aces, Big3 and USA Basketball training camps in town—and now it’s time for the annual NBA Summer League to return to Sin City. All 75 games of the 10-day competition on the UNLV campus will be televised on ESPN, and all 30 teams will bring their top prospects to town. August 8-17, times vary, $30-$1,300, unlvtickets.com. –Brock Radke
