The vibrant Las Vegas nightlife scene is heating up with the launch of exciting new events, including the much-anticipated Rouge Roundup at the Rouge Room. Scheduled to debut on August 21, this honky-tonk takeover promises live country music, a thrilling mechanical bull, and a selection of Southern-inspired cocktails from a custom cocktail menu.
Recognized by Las Vegas Weekly as “Best Nightlife in the Burbs,” the Rouge Room invites patrons to don their best cowboy boots every Thursday at 8 p.m. Attendees can look forward to local country artists Harmony Shay and Sierra Black kicking off the night, followed by DJ Lucky Lou spinning tracks throughout the evening.
Moreover, attendees will have the chance to grab exclusive merchandise, designed by Las Vegas graphic designer Blaze Brooks, to enhance their honky-tonk experience.
In parallel, the Bel-Aire Backyard is set to delight party-goers with its Neon Rodeo, a unique poolside dance party merging EDM with modern country classics. This engaging event will feature go-go dancers and electrifying cryo blasts to keep the energy high. The Neon Rodeo launches on September 26, with subsequent events lined up for October 10 and a performance by the fiery female-led rock band The Beaches on October 12.

On the local music front, the trio known as Twist Off! has transitioned into its hardcore punk phase, releasing a self-titled LP that showcases their raw energy and passion.

Their journey included a performance at Blackpool’s Rebellion Festival, alongside fellow Vegas teen punk band the Dollheads, who have been touring internationally since their high school days.
Speaking of the Dollheads, they are hosting an album release party for their new project, Adol-essence, on August 22 at The Space.
