  • Root: Battlebots World Championships at Caesars Entertainment Studios

    Who wants to see a few screws knocked loose? More than 65 teams from around the world will bring their lean, mean robot-fighting machines to town, and over several days, they’ll put their bolts, sweat and tears into battle for the grand prize: the Giant Nut. Las Vegas-based team Jackpot will compete, so bring your best hometown cheer to the stands. It will also mark the first time the Discovery Channel hit show will be filmed in Las Vegas in front of a live audience. Through September 4, $40+, 4165 Koval Lane, battlebots.com. –Amber Sampson

  • Rock: Spindrift at Artifice

    Even as the pandemic rages on, comforting signs appear. Count this as one: the return of LA’s Spindrift, a regular on Downtown Las Vegas’ indie circuit since the earliest days of Neon Reverb. The group’s spaghetti western psych always sounds best live, and an $8 ticket also gets you sets from local luminaries Indigo Kidd and Zach Ryan’s Wanderers, along with a trio of DJs spinning all 45s. August 26, 8 p.m., bit.ly/3j11Y2T. –Spencer Patterson

  • Listen: Neon Lit at Writer's Block

    Thirsty for some cutting-edge short stories, nonfiction and poetry? Witness the literary genius of UNLV’s creative writing MFA and PHD students (and sometimes alumni) with the return of the Neon Lit Reading Series. The free, student-led event has been giving emerging creatives the stage since 2009. The fall season occurs on the fourth Friday of each month, starting August 27 and ending December 3. Every month is different, so you might just wanna catch them all. 6 p.m. 519 S. 6th St. #100, neonlitlv.com. –C. Moon Reed

  • Party: G-Eazy at Ayu Dayclub

    He’s released recent collaborations with Carlos Santana (“She’s Fire”) and Kossisko (“Running Wild”), and a team-up with Demi Lovato is on the horizon, but this weekend the multiplatinum rapper renews his Las Vegas relationship with a nighttime performance at Ayu Dayclub. DJ Ruckus gets things started before G-Eazy grabs the mic. August 27, 10:30 p.m., $30-$60, zoukgrouplv.com. –Brock Radke

  • Imbibe: Big Dog's Summer Beer Fest & Reggae Party

    Cold beer and cool reggae are a good summertime combination, and Big Dog’s Brewing Company delivers it on Saturday with their annual Summer Beer Fest & Reggae Party. Featuring more than 50 regional and national brews, barbecue platters, raffles and live music, it’s the perfect party for the dog days of summer. Admission is free, and food/drinks are pay-as-you-go, with generous sampling packages available for $30-$57. August 28, 6 p.m. 4543 N. Rancho Drive, bigdogsummerfest.com. –Geoff Carter
