MISC: BROADWAY IN THE HOOD: RENT A watershed moment. That’s how many in the LGBTQ community describe the 1969 Stonewall Riots of Greenwich Village. The police raid that took place on June 28, at the Lower Manhattan gay bar known as the Stonewall Inn, incited a revolutionary five-day protest, one that would later spark the battle—and victory—for gay rights. This month, the LGBTQ Center of Southern Nevada, in partnership with Broadway in the Hood, honors the historical riots with a live local production of Rent and an interactive pre-show full of singing, artwork, spoken word, prizes and giveaways. The ’90s Broadway rock musical, created by the late Jonathan Larson, follows a group of bohemian New York artists grappling with poverty in the East Village during the AIDS crisis. A powerful tale, teeming with camaraderie and strength in the face of so many realistic fears, this production couldn’t be a better way to commemorate what’s been accomplished in the LGBTQ community. June 30-July 4, times vary, $25-$100, the Center, eventbrite.com. –Amber Sampson

ARTS: JULIAN EUSEBIO: PHILIPPINE CULTURE AND EXPRESSION OF COLOR Julian Eusebio has had an eventful life. He was born in the Philippines in the 1930s and later migrated to the U.S. and attended Far Eastern University. He has held various jobs in the art world, from comic and magazine illustrator, to art director at an advertising agency, to fashion illustrator for well-known department stores. Since retiring in 2010, Eusebio has returned to his original passion—creating art inspired by his homeland. This exhibit showcases colorful koi fish, beautiful water lilies and landscapes of sea dwellings. June 30-September 13, East Las Vegas Library, free, lvccld.org. –Evelyn Mateos

This month, Field Trip partners with We the Beat to present U.K. DJ duo Snakehips along with Yeisukee, JDHD and Lio. EDM aficionados might remember Snakehips from their breakout track “All My Friends,” featuring Chance the Rapper and Tinashe. The tastemakers have since captured a massive following, working with hotly tipped artists like H.E.R., Anderson .Paak, MØ and, most recently, Bryce Vine on the flirtatious “Water.” Come prepared to boogie at the open-air venue. And if you cop the VIP pass, you can slide over to Peyote’s open bar and gain free entry to We All Scream’s rooftop and patio. 7 p.m., $25-$50, Fergusons Downtown, dtlvfieldtrip.com. –Amber Sampson

MISC: WWE MONEY IN THE BANK Things have been getting interesting in the world of professional wrestling in recent years, and that has coincided with more wrestling events taking place in Las Vegas. The WWE, still arguably the dominant force in this brand of sports entertainment, brought one of its tentpole events, Summerslam, to Allegiant Stadium last year while continuing to stave off the upstart AEW, which held three cards in Vegas surrounding Memorial Day weekend. Just two weeks after Vince McMahon stepped down as CEO, the WWE returns with Money in the Bank, which was recently moved from the stadium to MGM Grand Garden Arena. The smaller venue could add intensity to the trademark ladder matches, and former MMA star Rhonda Rousey is also on the card, defending her RAW women’s title. 4:30 p.m., $36-$775+, MGM Grand Garden Arena, axs.com –Brock Radke

The electronic sounds will combine with rock, jazz and classical music to create an experience you’ll hear, see and feel. 7:30 p.m. & 9:30 p.m., $20-$50, Area15, area15.com. –Evelyn Mateos

Jaye McBride

Jaye McBride

COMEDY: JAYE MCBRIDE “Y’all know I’m trans, right? Y’all figure that out, ya bunch of woke detectives? What’s weird is, I wasn’t trans before I got the vaccine.” If that’s not the perfect joke for the times, what is? Jaye McBride transitioned 15 years ago, well before she became one of the first openly transgender comedians to make a mark on the national scene, including a performance last year at Madison Square Garden opening on Louis CK’s controversial comeback tour. McBride is a regular at the legendary Comedy Cellar in New York City and makes her debut at the Vegas version at the Rio this week, anchoring a lineup that also includes Jason Cheny, Brian Kiley and Michael Yo. And McBride plans to spend a lot more time here, returning later this month to headline Comedy Works at the Plaza. July 5-July 11, 7 & 9:30 p.m., $20-$45, Comedy Cellar, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

COMEDY: BRAD GARRETT With Rondell Sheridan, Heath Harmison, 8 p.m., & 7/6, Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club, mgmgrand.mgmresorts.com.

Las Vegas Aces vs. New York Liberty

Las Vegas Aces vs. New York Liberty

SPORTS: LAS VEGAS ACES VS. NEW YORK LIBERTY 7 p.m., Michelob Ultra Arena, axs.com.

MUSIC: EXMORTUS With Hatriot, Silver Talon, Mynas, Taking Dawn, 7 p.m., the Usual Place, eventbrite.com.

PARTY: DJ DIESEL 11 p.m., EBC at Night, wynnsocial.com.

MUSIC: LYTE BRYTE BAND With Phil Stendek, the Lawn at Downtown Summerlin, summerlin.com.

MUSIC: TY SEGALL & FREEDOM BAND Unless they held tickets to Night 1 of last year’s Psycho Las Vegas fest, locals haven’t seen once-frequent Vegas visitor Ty Segall since he played the Bunkhouse way back in the carefree, pre-pandemic days of early 2018. Four-plus years later, the California garage/glam/psych-rocker and his Freedom Band—guitarist Emmett Kelly, bassist Mikal Cronin, keyboardist Ben Boye and drummer Charles Moothart—will reacquaint themselves with Downtown with a stop at Triple B. It’ll be a welcome sight, especially since a scheduled gig by Segall’s Fuzz project got scrapped earlier this year, but the coolest piece of the puzzle might be the support set from Merge Records artist William Tyler, a guitarist in the John Fahey mold whose 2020 release New Vanitas sent his instrumental country-folk spaceward. Get there in time for his performance or risk regretting it forever. 8 p.m., $20-$40, Backstage Bar & Billiards, eventbrite.com. –Spencer Patterson
