Musicians Ben Carey, Gigi Gonaway and Shawn Eiferman provide the support you need to really display those pipes. At the end of the night, the club will select the top three singers from throughout the evening to retake the stage for a final showdown. From there, the crowd’s applause will crown the best singer, who will walk away with the grand prize. 8 p.m., free, Rouge Room, rougeroomlv.com. –Shannon Miller

MISC: FILM: THE ROOM WITH  GREG SESTERO Oh hi, readers! The Room, a 2003 film written and directed by the enigmatic and mysteriously wealthy Tommy Wiseau, is both hailed as a “masterpiece” and condemned as one of the worst movies ever made. Despite the divided opinions, it’s a must-watch. The film tells the story of Johnny, a banker (Wiseau), his fiancee Lisa (Juliette Danielle), his best friend Mark (Greg Sestero) and his college aged pseudo-adopted son Denny (Philip Haldiman). There’s impromptu football games, a melodramatic web of love, betrayal and comedy. What’s grown into a cult classic over two decades will leave you both scratching your head in confusion and quoting the movie at random. Stick around after this showing for a Q&A session with Sestero, co-star and author of the tell-all book The Disaster Artist. 9 p.m., & 8/3, $17, The Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez

MUSIC: DESERT HONEYPOT Mariah Baldwin recently graced our Women in Music cover after years of championing local frontwomen through her all-female showcase, Desert Honeypot. And though that mission remains, it will look a little different in the future. Baldwin recently announced this Honeypot will be her last for a while, as she plans to relocate to the South with local country rocker Lennon Roach. She plans to return to Las Vegas yearly to host more events. “I’m very excited about all the women that I see putting out new music and stepping in and out of Vegas and being proud of who they are,” Baldwin told the Weekly in April. “I just want to give them the message to keep going.” Among those giving Desert Honeypot a warm send-off: Paige Overton, a leading voice in local country; guitarist and singer-songwriter Lexi Pifer; and eclectic rocker Ronnie Wylder. As usual, there will be a donation drive for the Embracing Project to aid young girls in need. 8 p.m., $13, Backstage Bar & Billiards, dice.fm. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: BATTLE OF THE BANDS When Blake Shelton announced he’d be bringing his tried-and-true honky tonk bar and restaurant to the Strip, he assured this would be the spot to see and be seen. “Perception is everything in this business, and when you come to Ole Red, you feel and look like a superstar no matter what level you’re at,” Shelton said last year. Emerging artists will have a chance to prove themselves at Ole Red’s Battle of the Bands for a chance to win $1,000 and a regular gig at the four-story, 27,000-square-foot venue. Bands will be judged on their energy, fan favor and ability to perform with the setup Ole Red provides. Shelton will serve as the tie-breaker, if the competition should come to that. No pressure, though. 9 p.m., free, Ole Red, olered.com/lasvegas. –Amber Sampson
