Weekend Events in Las Vegas: Music, Sports, Wine, and More

Las Vegas is set for an exciting weekend filled with music, sports, and a variety of unique events that cater to a diverse audience.

Headlining this lineup is Kendrick Lamar, joined by SZA, bringing their powerful double bill to Allegiant Stadium at 7 p.m. on Saturday. With ticket prices starting at $291, fans can expect a night filled with incredible performances that demonstrate Kendrick’s prowess as one of the greatest rappers of his generation. After all, as history would suggest, crossing K.Dot often leads to tumultuous consequences, as hinted by his past disputes with artists like Drake.

For sports enthusiasts, the Aviators will be hosting the Oklahoma City Comets at Las Vegas Ballpark this weekend. The games are scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Friday and Saturday, and the first 2,000 attendees on both nights will receive complimentary items, including Aviators sunglasses and a special “Stranger Things”-style jersey. Tickets for the games are available starting at $18.80, making it an affordable outing for families looking to enjoy a summer evening.

Wine lovers can indulge at the Al Solito Posto on June 5, where a free tasting event will feature Piedmont releases hosted by Paolo Cressi of Ethica Wines from 5 to 6 p.m. Although reservations for bar seating are encouraged, the tasting is free of charge, allowing guests to enjoy the happy hour and à la carte menus. Additional tastings with unique spirits will take place on June 12, 19, and 26.

The Burlesque Hall of Fame Weekender is another highlight this weekend, kicking off on June 5 at 8 p.m. with the Movers, Shakers and Innovators Showcase. This year’s gathering promises to be even more spectacular, as it aims to keep the beloved celebration alive before the Hall closes its doors on July 20. Attendees can purchase weekend passes starting at $350 or single-night tickets for $120.

Boxing fans won’t want to miss the matches this Saturday at Michelob Ultra Arena, featuring two thrilling bouts: Caleb Plant is set to face off against José Armando Reséndiz and Jermell Charlo will take on Thomas LaManna. The matches are significant, particularly given the longstanding rivalry that has brewed between Plant and Charlo. Bouts begin at 2 p.m., and tickets start at $73.

Film aficionados can look forward to a special screening of Robin Williams’ dark comedy, “World’s Greatest Dad,” at the Beverly Theater on Monday at 7:30 p.m. The film, written and directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, is making a comeback alongside a Q&A session. Tickets for this nostalgic screening are priced at $15, promising an engaging evening for fans of classic cinema.

Additionally, fans of industrial metal will have the chance to see Ministry at the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay on June 5 at 6:30 p.m. Frontman Al Jourgensen has revisited the band’s 1983 synth-pop debut, “With Sympathy,” and the new recording titled “The Squirrely Years Revisited” adds a fresh spin to those classic tunes.

On Saturday, food lovers can attend the Farmstand Pop-Up event at Farmer Boys, located at 5847 S. Decatur Blvd., from 2 to 5 p.m. The event celebrates the launch of the Farmstand Fresh & Affordable Menu and features fun activities, giveaways, and the chance to win fresh produce while supporting local food banks by donating canned goods.

For families, “Brick Planet” at the Springs Preserve offers a creative experience through Lego sculptures by artist Sean Kenney. The exhibit, open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursdays through Mondays until September 8, invites guests to explore the interconnected ecosystems of our planet, combined with vibrant Lego displays.

Finally, the Spring Wine Walk on Saturday from 7 to 10 p.m. at Downtown Summerlin will feature 18 wine tasting stations, all benefiting New Vista programs for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Guests can purchase general admission tickets for $50 in advance, $60 at the door, while VIP tickets are going for $99.99.

With such a variety of options from concerts and sports to unique culinary experiences, Las Vegas is primed for a memorable weekend. Whether you’re a music lover, sports enthusiast, or wine aficionado, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
