Brace yourselves. Beyoncé-mania is about to sweep Las Vegas. It’s “last call” for the singer’s worldwide Cowboy Carter tour, which wraps up with two shows at Allegiant Stadium this weekend. If past shows are any indication, merch stands and other photo-friendly activations should be open to the general public outside the venue, but a few other events are getting in on the action too.
🥃 Boozin’ Beyhive Style
Did you know Beyoncé has her own whiskey? File this information under “news Rob can use.” 👍 SirDavis American Whisky (no “e” necessary) is distilled with rye and malted barley, then aged in Pedro Ximénez sherry casks for a taste said to be “welcoming and soft.” Blender Cameron George will be at SEVEN:45 in the Arts District for a night of cocktails and music 7:45-10:45 p.m. on Thursday, July 24. Visit SEVEN:45 in person or reach out via social media to score $44 tickets.
You can also sample SirDavis cocktails and/or the spirit neat at Chocolate City Cigar Lounge (July 24), Aria Lobby Bar (July 25), Eight Cigar Lounge (July 25), Gatsby’s (July 26), and Cork & Thorn (July 26).
🎉 Pop-Up Party Fun
A Beyoncé-Inspired Pop-Up Museum welcomes fans at the W Las Vegas hotel, just a short walk from Allegiant Stadium, July 23-28. Browse exhibits of memorabilia, costumes, rarely seen video footage, and other items while taking part in Q&A sessions with those who know the singer well. Tickets are $135.
The Space hosts Club Cowboy Carter on Friday night, July 25, beginning at 10 p.m. It’s the ultimate post-concert after-party with DJ Rosegawd spinning your favorite Beyoncé hits. Tickets are $26.54.
