Thursday, August 10

MISC: CAGE FREE WEEKEND “We don’t get a lot of things to really care about.” So says Nicolas Cage’s character Rob Feld in Michael Sarnoski’s excellent and underseen 2021 film Pig, which screens at 7 p.m. August 10 at the Beverly Theater—free of charge. It opens a series of Cage classics at the venue, all offered gratis: the 1988 horror farce Vampire’s Kiss (also tonight, 9:15 p.m.); 1995’s Leaving Las Vegas (August 11, 9 p.m.), the film that won him an Academy Award; the wonderful 1987 romantic comedy Moonstruck (August 12, 4 p.m.), the movie that should have won him an Academy Award; and 1997’s Con Air (August 12, 9 p.m.), a dumb but spectacular action movie that returned Cage to Vegas only two years after he got an Oscar for leaving it. So, not only is the Bev giving you some things to care about, but they’re giving them to you free, like the best things in life should be. Individual tickets are required for each screening, and they’re limited to two per person. August 10-12, times vary, free, the Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Geoff Carter

MUSIC: SHALLOU Among all the music venues within Area15’s cavernous multipurpose complex, the Portal might just be its most mind-altering. The room is a technological dreamscape, with 360-degree projection  mapping capable of transforming your surroundings at the press of a few keys. So when LA-based indie DJ and producer Shallou brings his vivacious melodies to the Portal, they’ll truly come alive. Swirling minimalistic house beats with accents of electro-pop, Shallou creates a heightened state of chill, so dancey and light, it’s almost angelic. Shallou’s 2017 EP, All Becomes Okay, set the standard for his silky-fine sound, and that momentum built into master tracks like “Begin,” “You and Me” and “Here.” The producer mixes with intentionality, tinkering with elements such as chimes and other flourishes until they become your favorite detail. 9 p.m., $23-$27, the Portal at Area15, area15.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: BECK & PHOENIX  Beck Hansen has been an inconsistent performer through the years, and his past few albums haven’t come close to his classics, but his last full Las Vegas appearance reminded us how exciting a fully armed and operational Beck can be. That was in December 2019, when he wowed the main stage crowd at Amazon’s Intersect music festival with as dynamic and energetic a set as we’ve seen from the alt-rock hero in years. He blasted through close to 20 numbers, rocked out on guitar and danced like he really, really meant it. How might he fare four years later? Well, he’ll have plenty of support onstage—co-headliner Phoenix (the French band behind indie hits “Lisztomania” and “1901”) and a pair of make-sure-you-see-them openers in Japanese Breakfast and Sir Chloe. But mostly, this ship will sail as far as Beck can take it, and at this point, we’ve given up trying to guess what that’ll mean. 6:45 p.m., $21+, Michelob Ultra Arena, ticketmaster.com. –Spencer Patterson

SPORTS: PRESEASON FOOTBALL: SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS AT LAS VEGAS RAIDERS The “Battle of the Bay” rivalry always commands attention, even though the Raiders are no longer located in California’s Bay Area and this latest edition will be an exhibition contest. Preseason games will be important to the Raiders this year, though, as they break in a largely overhauled, younger roster. Rookies like quarterback Aidan O’Connell, a fourth-round pick out of Purdue, tight end Michael Mayer, a second-round pick out of Notre Dame, and wide receiver Tre Tucker, a third-round pick out of Cincinnati, should all receive extended playing time. The game against the 49ers will be the Raiders’ preseason opener, and their only home game until a Week 3 regular-season tilt against the Pittsburgh Steelers on September 24. Expect Las Vegas to push hard for a victory, and not only because the 49ers remain a heated rival. Coach Josh McDaniels placed an emphasis on winning in the preseason last year, when the Raiders went a league-best 4-0. 1 p.m., $100-$520, Allegiant Stadium, ticketmaster.com. –Case Keefer

ARTS: AUDREY BARCIO: SIGHT \ LINE So much of our visual culture is built upon the male gaze. But a new exhibit at Sahara West Library challenges that. Deconstructing seeing itself, Sight \ Line questions the pathways between the seer and what is visible and hidden. “I’m interested in having women’s structures be seen, because historically they have not been seen,” artist Audrey Barcio says in a statement on the library district’s website. “My work is about examining and reimagining the architecture of human culture.” The UNLV College of Fine Arts alum has dazzled viewers in the past with her geometric installation “Continual Eventual,” which showed at Clark County Government Center’s Rotunda Gallery in 2016. Sight \ Line draws from Barcio’s focus on minimalist shapes and feminist symbols, using clean lines, colors and (a)symmetry to challenge traditional representations. Thru 8/26; Monday–Thursday 10 a.m.–8 p.m.; Friday-Sunday, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.; free; Sahara West Library; thelibrarydistrict.org. –Shannon Miller
