Things to do in 2022 in Las Vegas

Image

Go big on beef.

Dry-aged steaks from acclaimed domestic producers like Chicago’s Allen Brothers and California’s Flannery Beef are the stars at the brand-new Carversteak at Resorts World, where veteran chef Daniel Ontiveros is in the kitchen calling the shots for the first restaurant concept from Las Vegas-based Carver Road Hospitality.

Stay healthy!

Omicron is raging as we write this, so there’s no telling what from our 2022 list might be canceled, postponed or otherwise modified. More important, of course, is the health of you and your loved ones, as well as those most at risk in our community. If you haven’t been vaxed or boosted, consider doing so. Continue wearing masks when out in public. And if you’re feeling unwell, stay home—it might feel like a tiny cold to you, but it could hit someone else much harder. Let’s all do what we can to help our neighbors.

Get wild again.

Wynn Nightlife’s influential Art of the Wild weekend returns on March 18-21, flooding XS and Encore Beach Club with cutting-edge, international sounds and the world’s greatest parties.

Catch up with old Misfit friends.

For Vegas Golden Knights fans, the new year opened with a big reunion, with O.G. defenseman Nate Schmidt and post-Misfits center Paul Stastny—both now with Winnipeg—returning to T-Mobile Arena for the first time since being traded. You may want a few more tissues handy on January 6, when original VGK coach Gerard Gallant and former enforcer Ryan Reaves—both in their first seasons with the New York Rangers—are back in the Fortress. And better bring the whole darn Kleenex box to the Strip two nights later, when Marc-André Fleury, the Flower who blossomed in our hearts throughout the team’s first four seasons, steps back into the T-Mobile goal … for the Chicago Blackhawks. –Spencer Patterson

Legally puff

inside a cannabis consumption lounge. Dinner and a drink is so 2021. Consumption lounges are set to open sometime in 2022, thanks to Assembly Bill 341, and local dispensaries are already racing to get started.

Follow the next evolution of the Palms.

The ever-prominent and long-closed off-Strip resort is set to reopen in the spring, after San Manuel Gaming purchased it from Station Casinos last year. It’s still too early to tell what pieces of the Palms will remain or what new offerings might be in the mix, but it’s a definite that the new ownership will have a completely different approach, and that has us excited to see what comes next.

Vote!

This will be is a big election year for Nevada, with a lot at stake for Democrats and Republicans in the state and potentially huge national effects.

In the U.S. Senate race in Nevada, a few Republicans—including former Attorney General Adam Laxalt and Army veteran Sam Brown—are looking to oust Democratic Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto, and possibly flip the U.S. Senate red. Political analysts are now calling the once “Lean Democrat” race a toss-up, citing President Joe Biden’s low approval rankings and the country’s slow economic recovery. That’s a big deal for Nevada, a state Biden won by 2.4 points in 2020 and where Cortez Masto

triumphed by a slim two points in 2016.

Nevada’s seat in the Senate isn’t the only one Republicans have a chance to take back. Gov. Steve Sisolak is running for reelection in 2022, and there’s a large pool of Republican candidates battling it out ahead of the primary June 14. Democratic congresspeople Dina Titus, Steven Horsford and Susie Lee will be up for reelection, too. If the GOP wins one of those seats, the Democrats will no longer control the majority of Congressional seats in Nevada.

At this point, it’s all still anybody’s game. As of November, there were 98,000 more Democrats registered than Republicans—and about 580,000 nonpartisan voters, who could be the ones to lean the scale one way or the other. Regardless of where you stand, get out and be counted! –Jessica Hill

Laugh at a new location.

Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club has moved from its subterranean origins at MGM Grand to the restaurant-rich district near the Grand Garden Arena, maintaining its intimate feel while adding more space for music, drinks and more.

Unlock the mystery of Amystika.

Criss Angel’s new show at Planet Hollywood, a collaboration with the legendary director Franco Dragone set to begin in March, is billed as the prequel to his Mindfreak magical spectacular. Also, there’s a blizzard involved, which will envelope the audience, so it’s got that going for it.

Take an adults-only staycation.

The English Hotel

Opening in early 2022, the Todd English-curated English Hotel—a 74-room, adults-only hotel in Downtown Las Vegas’ bustling Arts District—promises to offer the sort of deluxe boutique experience we often drive to other cities to get: a lobby appointed with rare antiques, cocktail shakers in every room and ground-floor patios that open directly to the pool area.

Celebrate a cultural milestone.

Nevada Ballet Theatre has just begun its landmark 50th anniversary season, and a gala event and performance are planned for May 14. But first, the 38th annual Black & White Ball honors the one and only Judy Collins on January 22 at Wynn, before world premieres from renowned choreographers Trey McIntyre and Lauren Lovette spill into the Smith Center’s Reynolds Hall on February 5.

Enjoy some offbeat entertainment Downtown.

Sometime this spring, Corner Bar’s Cheapshot will move into the Fremont East space once occupied by Don’t Tell Mama, and transform the former piano bar into “the smallest showroom and discotheque in Las Vegas.” Its curator and host Amy Saunders—best known to locals as the glittering, fast-talking host of former Bally’s mainstay The Miss Behave Gameshow—was a huge fan of Don’t Tell Mama, but intends to take the space in new directions. “I want to run it like a minuscule Palace of Varieties,” she says. “It’s going to look like a beautiful red velvet dream, with decent lights—I’m a stickler for that—and a gorgeous stage design. And we’re going to run it like a little showroom.”

The room might be small, but Saunders has immense plans for it. Cheapshot will offer “all the things you love in piano bars, from pianists to singers to surprises,” but also “comedy, variety, burlesque, circus, drag” and more. “It’s an intimate space, with high values for reasonable prices,” Saunders says. –Geoff Carter

Escape to faraway lands.

Area 15 quickly became one the city’s hottest new attractions, housing popular experiences like Omega Mart and Lost Spirits Distillery, and it continues to amaze visitors with new additions. This spring, the warehouse will introduce Illuminarium, which promises to take viewers to “faraway lands and ‘bucket-list’ destinations.” That will be achieved through 4K laser projection, 360-degree audio, in-floor vibrations and scent systems, and the experience, estimated to last 45-60 minutes, won’t require any wearable hardware. There’s limited seating, but viewers are encouraged to move around the room to encounter all the elements, which will change frequently. –Evelyn Mateos

Hang out with Adele.

The English singer isn’t big on touring, but you don’t need her to. Her new Vegas residency, Weekends With Adele at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, will give fans the chance to experience the powerhouse vocalist in a pristine, palatial setting, starting January 21.

Get back inside a legendary music room.

Some of Las Vegas’ most memorable concert moments have happened inside the Joint, and the beloved space lives on as the Theater at Virgin. The room’s upcoming calendar includes: AFI (February 12), Slash (February 19), Toto (February 25), Midland (March 5), Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit (March 6), Widespread Panic (March 11-13) and Incubus (March 25-26), to name just a few.

Assemble your foodie crew for a new Thai experience.

Night+ Market

Chef Kris Yenbamroong is something of a rock star in LA, and for good reason. Since 2012, his Night + Market restaurants there have been serving up memorable Thai dishes and good-time vibes, earning Yenbamroong semifinal James Beard honors as recently as 2019. Yet thus far, Night + Market’s Las Vegas expansion hasn’t been met with the same raucous reaction—probably because it happened a) during a pandemic and b) at a new resort still finding its footing, Virgin Hotels.

Try out a new Summerlin hot spot.

Harlo Steakhouse & Bar opened suddenly at the end of the year in the former Andiron space at Downtown Summerlin, and the neighborhood is buzzing about chef partner Gina Marinelli’s take on this classic American cuisine. Are you ready for a pastrami wedge salad and scallops Rockefeller?

Seek out your piece of Resorts World.

Lots of locals haven’t yet visited the first Las Vegas Strip megaresort to be built in the last decade, and that’s not surprising considering this whole ongoing pandemic thing. When the time is right for exploring, you’ll likely find that Resorts World is well on its way to achieving its ambitious goal of appealing to lots of different kinds of people, cynical locals included.

Food is the obvious entry point and this place has it all. Start simple with a slice at Mulberry Street Pizzeria, chicken Parm at Mozz Bar, an ice cream cone at Craig’s Vegan, or a breakfast sandwich at Sun’s Out Buns Out; then work your way up to luxury spots like Genting Palace or the new Caviar Bar. There’s so much to do at Dawg House Saloon, a massive saloon, sportsbook and Southern-fried eatery with live music and more. The Zouk Group’s day- and nightlife offerings have quickly proven to be among the most dynamic experiences on the Strip, and you already know about the star residencies at Resorts World Theatre.

But like the other Strip spots that have attracted Las Vegans through the years, this destination has plenty of spaces to stroll and linger and look, from the retail and restaurant district that runs along the Strip to the energetic food hall. There’s a lot to take in, and plenty of lovely lounges like Gatsby’s, the Conrad and Crockfords lobby bars and Eight Cigar Lounge to stop and process with a sip or a smoke. It’s worth it. –Brock Radke

Cheer the Aces to victory.

Becky Hammon was a WNBA legend for this very franchise before she went on to shatter boundaries coaching for the NBA’s San Antonio Spurs. As the new coach and GM in Las Vegas, she’ll be expected to make a tremendous impact on and off the court for the team and the league.

See independent films.

This city has had a long wait for a cinema dedicated to independent and international cinema. Thanks to benefactor Beverly Rogers and programmer Kip Kelly, we’re finally getting one—the Beverly Theater— in Downtown Las Vegas sometime in late 2022. Let’s see a lot of movies and keep their (projector) lights on.

Take in a new Strip production show.

Two distinct new shows offer two distinct subjects: a star of yesteryear and the next generation of stars. An Evening With Whitney: The Whitney Houston Hologram Concert at Harrah’s brings the legend to “life” (through state-of-the-art technology), surrounded by a live band and four backup dancers. It might not be the real thing, but expect to see plenty of real emotion expressed by audience members who grew up with classics like “How Will I Know,” “I Have Nothing” and “Greatest Love of All.” It’s a loving reminder of how one talent can change the world.

And speaking of talent, NBC’s reality competition show, America’s Got Talent, which has given us acts like Shin Lim, Piff the Magic Dragon, Tape Face and Mat Franco, has assembled some of its greatest recent acts into a variety show, America’s Got Talent Las Vegas Live at Luxor. The production, featuring host and comedian Preacher Lawson and winners like singer Kodi Lee, spoken-word artist Brandon Leake and magician Dustin Tavella, isn’t only a wildly entertaining 90 minutes for the whole family; it’s a preview of some of the acts that will soon be populating their own showroom somewhere on the Strip. –Ken Miller

Play the classics.

Emporium

Adulthood has its perks, but sometimes you just want to reconnect with your youth. Emporium Arcade Bar inside Area15 awakens that feeling with colorful, street-art murals and two floors of vintage arcade games— iconic ’80s games like Punch-Out!, rambunctious beat ’em ups like The Simpsons and many more—pinball, pool and air hockey. Emporium’s two bars can enhance anyone’s game, serving locally brewed craft beers and quirky cocktails like the “Grow a Pear Margarita” and the “Oogie Boogie Slushie.” Stick around for live DJs almost nightly, closing out the afterhours. –Amber Sampson

Join the neon dance party at the Strat.

The hard-to-describe iLuminate is building buzz, thanks to an imaginative take on dance, an unbelievable use of technology and creativity and a talented cast including Las Vegan and So You Think You Can Dance winner Bailey Munoz.

In time, the Vegas Night + Market—situated near the Harmon-side parking garage—will surely become a pre- and postgame favorite for folks catching concerts at the Theater at Virgin (formerly the Joint) and 24 Oxford (formerly Vinyl). But even if you don’t have a ticket to an upcoming show, you should pop in with friends to share hey-ha “party wings,” decadent lobster pad Thai, the signature crispy rice salad and much more. Think of it as a Vegas bucket-lister in waiting. –Spencer Patterson

Dance to a throwback … or 20.

Two days of R&B and hip-hop bangers from some of the biggest names in the industry, including Usher, Lil Jon and Ludacris? Yes, please. The Lovers & Friends Festival, running May 14-15 at Las Vegas Festival Grounds and presented by Live Nation, Snoop Dogg and Bobby Dee, brings back beloved sounds from the ’90s and early aughts through performances by Lauryn Hill, TLC, Ciara, Ashanti, Brandy, Monica, Ja Rule, Nelly, Timbaland, Pretty Ricky, Trick Daddy, Trina and many more. The lineup stays

constant for both days, so you can see your favorites twice in one weekend. –Amber Sampson

Shop for the unexpected at Daiso.

This Japanese take on the dollar store—now with a southwest Valley location and two more local spots planned for later in 2022—is fun to shop even if you’re not in the market for bento boxes, kitchen utensils, gift items, cleaning supplies or kawaii.

Lose yourself with Tyler.

Tyler, the Creator albums—like his latest, Call Me If You Get Lost—transport the listener into a sonic universe. You’ll want to experience the journey live when the rapper’s tour hits Michelob Ultra Arena on February 12.

Celebrate the Valley’s newest hockey headquarters.

The AHL’s Henderson Silver Knights will move into their permanent home this year when the former Henderson Pavilion site becomes Dollar Loan Center, a year-round facility also set to host concerts and other community-based programming.

Catch a country superstar.

Is Garth Brooks gonna do a new Vegas residency? These one-man shows at Dolby Live at Park MGM February 4-5 could be the start of something big.

Catch all the country superstars.

The Academy of Country Music Awards have always been a big deal in Las Vegas, and this year the show moves to its biggest venue yet, Allegiant Stadium, on March 7. If you don’t get a ticket, you can stream it live on Amazon Prime Video.

Party fresh at Sahara.

Azilo Ultra Pool

Azilo Ultra Pool made a quiet debut last year, and now its indoor component, Azilo Ultra Lounge, has launched Friday- and Saturday-night parties blending DJ and live music performances.

Indulge in something sweet.

Until recently, you could only find Bruster’s Real Ice Cream east of the Mississippi, but the old-fashioned sweet treat biz has gone the franchise route and expanded to nearly 200 independent locations in 22 states and two other countries. The Las Vegas store should be open any day now at 2862 S. Durango Drive, not far from the Beltway, scooping up slow kettle-processed ice cream for cones, cups, sundaes, cakes, pies and shakes in homemade premium flavors like birthday cake, butter pecan, cherry vanilla, New York cheesecake and Mexican chocolate. We can never have enough great ice cream shops in Las Vegas, but we’re getting closer. –Brock Radke

Brunch it up at Boom Bang.

The new Henderson bistro is slinging coffee rolls, oyster shooters, truffled egg tarts and chilaquiles on its wondrously diverse weekend menu, along with fun cocktails like the Chartreuse Swizzle and honey-kissed Gold Rush.

Fly indoors.

You won’t need wings at FlyOver Las Vegas, which journeys riders through nature’s greatest wonders—from the sky. Immersive technology simulates the sensation of flight as your legs dangle before a wraparound spherical screen displaying the Grand Canyon, Lake Tahoe and beyond.

Fall in love with the new hot chicken.

Sparrow + Wolf chef and owner Brian Howard is ready to change the game with a Szechuan chicken sandwich at his upcoming Halfbird eatery in Chinatown, expected to arrive in the first quarter of 2022.

Drink all the local beers again.

The event for which brew-thusiasts have been patiently waiting, the Great Vegas Festival of Beer, returns to Downtown Las Vegas on April 22-23.

Take part in a pro sports explosion.

Only Las Vegas could pull this off: NHL All-Star Weekend comes to T-Mobile Arena February 4-5, and the NFL Pro Bowl will be played at Allegiant Stadium on February 6—two massive events in one epic weekend.

Catch a celeb or a spontaneous show at Delilah.

The swanky Wynn supper club is now open seven days a week, but if you go for a late dinner when someone’s headlining at Encore Theater, there’s a solid chance you’ll see an impromptu onstage performance carrying the fun into the night. Doja Cat did it. So did Justin Bieber. Who will you see at Delilah?

Eat the original Cronut.

Innovative pastry chef Dominique Ansel will finally open a Las Vegas shop this summer at Caesars Palace, and his famous croissant-doughnut hybrid is only the beginning of the mouth-watering goodies he’s bringing to our city.

Dine outdoors at Virgin.

Attention locals: If you didn’t make the trip to the new Virgin Hotels Las Vegas during the warm fall, you might not know the comfy resort offers outstanding patio action and great food at Casa Calavera, Kassi Beach House, Todd English’s Olives and Money, Baby!, all wrapping around the renovated pool. Get ready for a delicious bloom in the springtime.

Fall in love with John Legend.

In a December interview with Billboard, John Legend called his Love in Las Vegas residency, which begins April 22 at Zappos Theater, a “full career show.” That’s seven album’s worth of material condensed into a single night. What’s not to love?

Be happier than ever.

Billie Eilish is back on the road with a tour promoting her critically acclaimed sophomore album, Happier Than Ever. Catch the effortlessly melodic tracks and the singer’s silky soprano April 1 at T-Mobile Arena.

Stay up late at the new Sand Dollar.

The beloved blues lounge and industry bar is expanding with a second location at the Plaza, set to open in early 2022. What do we know? There will still be amazing cocktails, pizza (from Pop Up Pizza) and live music, Thursday through Saturday.

Get lost at the Ski Lodge.

Superfrico

There’s plenty left to discover at Superfrico at the Cosmopolitan, including this hidden speakeasy inspired by Japan’s legendary Bar-Gyu, where it’s always a winter wonderland and there’s always a shotski ready for you and your friends. Pro tip: Go Monday or Tuesday, when the bespoke cocktails are just $10.

Laugh with Trevor.

Daily Show comedian Trevor Noah was supposed to play Wynn’s Encore Theater back in 2020. He’s finally here July 9 and 10, one of the biggest names on the venue’s impressive comedy lineup.

Welcome The Killers home.

It’s been a minute since The Killers have made a hometown appearance that wasn’t a TV taping, corporate gig or private party. This August 26 T-Mobile Arena show—coming six years after the band played the venue’s opening concert—will likely feature songs we’ve never heard played live before.

Immerse yourself in modern Japanese food.

Tetsuya Wakuda is one of the few global greats who hasn’t opened a restaurant in Las Vegas, but that changes this year, when the Michelin Star winner teams with 50 Eggs Hospitality (which already operates four venues at Venetian/Palazzo) to open his first Japanese restaurant in the United States, Wakuda Las Vegas at Palazzo. Taking the Strip-front space formerly occupied by Morels Steakhouse and expected to arrive in spring or summer, Wakuda will aim to combine traditional cuisine with the energetic influence of Tokyo nightlife and its creative universe of bar bites, but sophistication will be the common thread, and a unique omakase experience should serve as the centerpiece of the menu. –Brock Radke

Schedule the watch party to end all watch parties.

Stadium Swim

Every game feels like the Super Bowl or the Stanley Cup Finals at Circa’s mind-blowing Stadium Swim, where you dip in a rooftop pool next to Downtown’s Fremont Street Experience light canopy while snacking and sipping and cheering for your team while watching all the action on a 40-foot-tall super screen.

Do the residency thing in a whole new way.

Carrie Underwood and Katy Perry have already opened their headlining shows at the gorgeous new Resorts World Theatre. Next up is Luke Bryan on February 11, Michael Bublé on April 27 and, likely later this year, the return of Celine Dion.

Party with the Birdman.

Skateboarding legend Tony Hawk launches his three-day Weekend Jam in Downtown Las Vegas May 12-15, featuring competitions, street and vert park areas, live music and video games at an on-site gaming lounge.

Stake out your spot at the biggest EDM reunion tour ever.

Swedish House Mafia is back together and hitting the road with the Paradise Again world tour this year, and since the group had to cancel its planned CES performance at Area15, its September 2 T-Mobile Arena visit will be even more meaningful.

Embark on a booze cruise.

Lost Spirits at Area15 offers one of the most unique distillery experiences around. Billed as the “Willy Wonka of Booze” by Playboy Magazine, this lucid dream has it all: submarines, steampunk aesthetics, snake charmers, holograms, 122-proof rum and sublime storytelling.

Witness a White Stripe.

Jack White brings his Supply Chain Issues tour to the Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan on May 29.

Experience high-energy Italian.

Lettuce Entertain You will open its sixth Las Vegas restaurant when RPM Italian lands at the Forum Shops this year. The modern menu is built around fresh pasta, great wine and a fun spritz program, and we can’t wait to see how it fits into the ever-expanding Italian portfolio on the Strip.

Visit iconic film locations.

LA isn’t the only cinematically rich city on the West Coast, and Las Vegas Movie Tours sets out to prove it. Hop aboard this 25-seat “theater on wheels,” which takes passengers to places where The Hangover, Casino and more than 200 other films, music videos and TV shows were filmed.

Get down to a big name at Zouk.

Zouk Nightclub Rendering

Zouk Nightclub Rendering

Zouk Nightclub has been a hotbed for headliners since it debuted at Resorts World in September. Tiësto, Jack Harlow, Zedd and G-Eazy are just a few of the resident artists the boutique megaclub has presented thus far, and we suspect 2022’s lineup will look even bigger.

See The Band’s Visit at Smith Center—at long last.

The stage musical, winner of 10 Tony Awards—including Best Book, Best Score and Best Musical—was originally part of Smith Center’s 2019-2020 Broadway Las Vegas series, but its arrival was stymied by COVID. Finally, two years on, the show finds its way to Reynolds Hall for five nights of performances beginning February 15. Let’s welcome the members of the Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra, wherever they’ve been.

Catch a big ol’ stadium show.

We love small clubs and ornate theaters, but there’s nothing quite like catching a favorite act on a football field among tens of thousands of cheering maniacs. Allegiant Stadium has you covered in 2022, with Metallica (February 25), Billy Joel (February 26) and the Red Hot Chili Peppers with The Strokes (August 6) on the schedule.

Let local culinary creativity wash over you.

Former Ferraro’s chef Francesco di Caudo and EDO Tapas chef Oscar Amador are teaming up to push the boundaries of Italian and Spanish cuisine with Anima, set to open soon at the Gramercy. Expect the unexpected.

Get up close to a rising star.

Breakout teen singer Olivia Rodrigo could surely fill arenas, but she’s mostly opting to play small venues in support of debut album Sour, which is why you get her at the Chelsea on May 20.

Blow through $20 in quarters.

Pinball Hall of Fame

Loved the old Pinball Hall of Fame on East Tropicana Avenue? Its new, 27,000-square-foot location just south of Mandalay Bay on Las Vegas Boulevard offers even more pinball and arcade games. Hundreds upon hundreds of them! Come to think of it, $20 might not be enough.

Watch the WWE’s return to Allegiant Stadium.

After last year’s successful Summerslam pro wrestling event, the WWE seems to be following the NFL in correctly choosing Las Vegas as one of its favorite destinations. Another megacard, Money in the Bank, is set for July.

Rock out with the Robinsons.

The Black Crowes’ Shake Your Money Maker tour killed it at the House of Blues in November, so much so that the reunited blues-rock favorites are coming back for more, February 11 and 12.

Face your fears at Nightmare Toys.

Why wait for Halloween? Horror fans can find killer collectibles at this year-old Downtown shop all year-round. From near-identical replicas of the puppet props from Gremlins to vivid Freddy Krueger art prints, this spooky shop screams authentic horror.

Behold a metal memoir.

Iron Maiden frontman Bruce Dickinson takes his spoken-word series—a “humorous and often satirical look at the world,” plus a Q&A session with the crowd—to the House of Blues on March 12. Run to the hills, er, box office!

Chow down with Emmitt Smith.

The NFL Hall of Famer opens Emmitt’s Las Vegas—a 30,000-square-foot space paying homage to the former running back’s playing career and offering food, drinks, and a venue to host watch parties, live concerts and corporate events—at the Fashion Show this spring.

Make up for lost football fun.

Since the 2020 NFL Draft couldn’t go on as planned, Las Vegas gets another chance to show its stuff this year, April 28-30. Will the chosen players still get to walk out over the Bellagio’s lake? Plans haven’t yet been revealed, but excitement is definitely in the cards.

See the sisters Haim.

Haim’s One More Haim Tour, in support of Grammy-nominated album Women in Music III, lands at the Chelsea on April 24.

Immerse yourself in poetic surrealism.

Asé: Afro Frequencies—the first solo show by “artivist” Vince Fraser, presented at Bellagio Gallery of Fine Art through April 18 in cooperation with immersive art producer Artechouse and named for the West African concept of our ability to precipitate change in the world—is an eye-popping multisensory experience featuring Fraser’s morphing images and the spoken word poetry of Ursula Rucker.

Find Romance in October.

Revisit your emo-rock past when My Chemical Romance’s delayed tour makes its way from Europe to the states and arrives at T-Mobile Arena on October 7. Stock up on eyeliner.

Savor the flavors of a TV champ.

Shaun O’Neale won Master Chef’s seventh season, and now he’s cooking for you, just off the Strip at Larrea at Panorama Towers, with dishes like honey-lacquered chicken, a Nevada-raised beef burger and confit duck tacos.

Be a Belieber.

Instead of singing alone in your car, sing with Justin Bieber February 20 at T-Mobile Arena, where the Canadian star will perform songs from his two most recent albums, Changes and Justice.

Take flight with the Knight Hawks.

Our city’s new pro indoor football team is set to open its debut season March 18 at Dollar Loan Center in Henderson, promising an entirely different local sports experience.

Explore Arcadia Earth.

Arcadia Earth

New York City’s immersive augmented reality experience arrives on the Strip, allowing guests to wander through a world of multisensory magic. Each of Arcadia Earth’s 15 exhibits tells impactful stories about our planet—and how to pitch in to protect it.

Double down on indie icons.

Dinosaur Jr. and Built to Spill are piloting separate headlining tours, but for one night only (February 4) they’ll intersect and share a bill at Brooklyn Bowl.

Cover yourself in a Blanket of Protection.

Opening January 19 and continuing through March 26, this 12-artist group at Left of Center Gallery honors the Tuskegee Airmen, the first Black aviators to serve in the U.S. military. Despite being highly decorated, the Tuskegee Airmen were subjected to discrimination both on the frontlines and the homefront. This exhibit will honor both their service and their sacrifices.

Enter the Swan Dive.

We have faith, but nevertheless, please cross your fingers that this 400-capacity Arts District music venue—operated by Oddfellows proprietor Harvey Graham and veteran booker Mike Henry—opens its doors in late 2022. We’ve missed that old Bunkhouse show-night feeling.

Experience Southern hospitality.

It’s been a long … few years. Let warm biscuits and chicken and gravy comfort you at

Nellie’s Southern Kitchen, a Jonas Brothers family venture set to open soon in the former Hecho en Vegas spot at MGM Grand.

Usher in a new Golden Knights era.

We don’t know exactly when Jack Eichel will play his first game in a VGK jersey, but we’re pretty confident whenever he does, goal-scoring will ensue. The 25-year-old has a nose for the net, and Vegas has shown it could use more of that the past two postseasons.
