• Comedy: Sebastian Maniscalco at Encore Theater

  The return of live entertainment at Wynn starts with comedy. Demetri Martin, Nate Bargatze, Tom Papa, Jim Gaffigan and Jo Koy all have summer dates at Encore Theater, but it begins with a guy who performed a few private shows at Wynn in October. Sebastian Maniscalco kept the laughs coming during the pandemic with outdoor performances at the new Event Pavilion and at XS Nightclub, so getting back onstage with a capacity crowd of 1,500 should be a breeze. June 18-19, 7:30 & 10 p.m., $95-$225, wynnlasvegas.com. –Brock Radke

• Show: DTLV Field Trip at Fergusons Downtown

  Even in a year where live music wasn’t effectively hobbled, this outdoor concert series would be golden. The second installment of DTLV Field Trip features singer/rappers Derek Dominique Montgomery, Baltimore Robinson and Cuddleth0t, R&B singer Tanna Marie and DJ J. Rich, playing under the stars. A limited number of free guest list spots are available at dtlvfieldtrip.com; after it fills up, tickets cost $10. June 19, 8 p.m. Fergusons Downtown, 1028 E. Fremont St. –Geoff Carter

• Concert: Rae Sremmurd at Drai's

  The hip-hop duo of Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi is getting busy, prepping a fourth album for a summer release, gearing up for festival appearances and appearing on the second season of Lil Dicky’s cult TV smash Dave. But making time for a pair of weekend gigs at Drai’s is also a priority. The rooftop club helped bring live concerts back to the Strip in a big way this month with shows from Wiz Khalifa, Future, Gucci Mane and 2 Chainz, and the party is only getting started. June 18, 10 p.m., $75-$100; June 19, 11 a.m., $50-$100; draisgroup.com. –Brock Radke

• Film: 'They Live' at New Orleans Square

  If all you know of John Carpenter’s 1988 sci-fi thriller They Live is “I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick ass,” then this Sci Fi Center screening—held outdoors in the courtyard of New Orleans Square—is a must. So much good stuff here: The creepy faces, the endless Roddy Piper/Keith David fight scene, the blocky alien agitprop that inspired Shepard Fairey’s entire aesthetic and more. Throw on your shades and go. June 19, 8 p.m., 900 Karen Ave. #B209, 702-900-4335. –Geoff Carter

• Film: Nevada Women's Film Festival

  In keeping with current CDC suggestions, the seventh-annual installment of the Nevada Women’s Film Festival will be a “hybrid” experience: Its 58 films, drawn from 20 countries, will stream online, but its panels, awards ceremony and other events will take place in person. The selected films include dramas, animation, horror, comedies, documentaries and more, and a number of Nevada filmmakers will be recognized, including producer Jemma Jones and UNLV Film grads Constanza and Domenica Castro. June 21-27; festival passes $30. nwffest.com. –Geoff Carter

• Culture: Juneteenth Events at Local Libraries

  It’s a day for joy and reflection. Juneteenth celebrates the date—June 19, 1865—when federal troops liberated enslaved people in Texas, a state that had ignored the Emancipation Proclamation for more than two years. A decade ago, Nevada officially recognized Juneteenth. Las Vegas honors both events with a two-day “jazz, arts and spoken word celebration” at West Las Vegas Library (June 18-19, 11:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.). And over at the Summerlin Library, Vegas City Opera honors abolitionist Harriet Tubman with a concert featuring music and storytelling (June 19, 3-4:45 p.m.). Both events are free. 702-507-3989, juneteenthnevada.org. –C. Moon Reed
