  • Exhibit: Use Other Door at Core Contemporary

    Doors are pathways to the mundane and the extraordinary. Which would you choose? In Core Contemporary’s third-annual national juried art exhibition, nearly 100 artists submitted work to the provocative theme, Use Other Door. The 26 selected artists employ a staggering range of media—painting, photography, sculpture, assemblage and more—to offer takes both literal and metaphorical. “Use Other Door provides an opportunity for artists to approach their creative techniques and mediums in a way that maybe they haven’t in the past,” explains juror, artist and gallerist Nancy Good. Through August 14, Wednesday-Saturday, noon-6 p.m., free, 900 E. Karen Ave. #D222. –C. Moon Reed

  • Residency: Usher at The Colosseum

    Usher Raymond IV has been logging quite a bit of Vegas time since announcing his new residency at the Colosseum way back in September, including partying with Paris Hilton and Steve Aoki at the recent Resorts World opening. Now, the time has come for the well-rounded entertainer to take his place as the leading post-Celine superstar at Caesars Palace. Friday night’s opener will be the first of 14 summer concerts before Usher returns for New Year’s Eve. July 16, 9 p.m., $250+. –Brock Radke

  • Show: The Souvenairs at Clark County Library

    On July 17, The Souvenairs—venerable local punks Mike Powers, Brahim Rouas, Rob Ruckus and Pablo Schwartz—return to the stage at last, after a long year of squeezing their affable, jazzy garage/lounge set into livestreaming windows. The band promises a big, celebratory, family-friendly set that will include special appearances by singers Laine Rowsey and Tiffany Fredianelli. Get some live, old-school Vegas style into your soul. July 17, 2 p.m., free, 1401 E. Flamingo Road. –Geoff Carter

  • Party: Kygo at XS

    Always one with a flair for the dramatic, Kygo played his first post-pandemic show at the iconic Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado late last month, then returned to his Vegas headquarters the very next night to rock a grateful crowd at XS. The Norwegian phenom returns for more on Saturday. July 17, 10:30 p.m., $100-$150. –Brock Radke

  • Film: Aliens at Sci Fi Center

    In a March 2021 interview with Collider, actress Sigourney Weaver called Aliens the “best-constructed story” of the series. Judge for yourself when it plays at the Sci Fi Center’s Courtyard Cinema on July 17. Aliens begins 57 years after Lt. Ellen Ripley awakens from hypersleep. She’s the last known survivor from her ship, following a gruesome attack by a lethal alien. Now it’s up to her and a group of marines to extinguish remaining threats on a nearby colony. If that plot doesn’t grab you, the chest bursters will. July 17, 8 p.m. $10, 900 Karen Ave #B209. –Amber Sampson
