From dining to entertainment and more, City Cast Las Vegas has some ideas for making the most of June.
🍽️ The Best Excuse to Eat Out This Month
Las Vegas Restaurant Week runs June 1 through 12 and it is one of the tastiest times of year in Las Vegas. Dining spots throughout the valley are offering special prix fixe menus, with proceeds supporting Three Square Food Bank's mission to fight hunger in Southern Nevada. It’s a great opportunity to check out what’s new at a neighborhood restaurant like Bar Boheme or get a deal at pricer Strip destinations like Cote. Make your reservations now before the good ones fill up.
🌈 Pride Is Year-Round Here
Yes, Las Vegas celebrates Pride in October, but June is still Pride Month and the city knows how to show up. The Las Vegas Aviators are hosting LGBTQ+ Night at Las Vegas Ballpark on Thursday, June 4, with a pregame party starting at 6 p.m., $2 beer specials, and first pitch at 7:05 p.m. against the Reno Aces. Five dollars from every ticket sold benefits Las Vegas Pride.
🖼️ Three Museums Worth Leaving the House For
Las Vegas museums are having a moment. The Mob Museum kicks off its Untapped Story beer tasting experience on June 1, blending craft brews with organized crime history. The Punk Rock Tattoo Expo takes over the Punk Rock Museum June 20 and 21 with ink, live music, and chaos. And on June 27, the Evel Knievel Experience opens in the Arts District with immersive exhibits and rare memorabilia celebrating America's most legendary daredevil.
🎭 And Three Shows Worth Dressing Up For
Opera Las Vegas brings Leoncavallo's “I Pagliacci” to the Judy Bayley Theatre at UNLV on June 5, sung in Italian with English supertitles. Esmé, a world premiere musical set in 1920s Paris, has seven performances at Notoriety Live Downtown, June 23-27. And Bolero – The Show hits the Plaza's timeless showroom for one night only on Saturday, June 20 at 7:30 p.m.
