The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-08-26 20:00 - 22:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Wednesday, August 26 brings The Wizard of Oz to Sphere for an 8:00 PM screening — the perfect way to pull a midweek Las Vegas night out of the ordinary.
This isn’t the film you grew up watching on a television screen. Sphere’s 160,000-square-foot 16K display and full multi-sensory rig — haptics, wind, fog, scent — transform a story nearly a century old into a genuinely physical experience. You feel it as much as you see it, and that’s the whole point.

April Macie
2026-08-26 20:00 - 22:30
Wednesday, August 26 at 8:00 PM — April Macie is midweek at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand, and the Wednesday crowd is in for the same unflinching set that’s been filling rooms across the country.
Her brand of stand-up pushes back on double standards with humor that is deliberately sexual and deliberately deliberate — there’s craft underneath the audacity. Two decades of headlining have made her timing precise enough that the bold material lands exactly where she aims it.

Barbolak became a household name for comedy fans through America’s Got Talent in 2018; in this room you get the full, unedited performance and the crowd right there with her for every bit.

Wednesday, August 26 at 7:00 PM at Azul inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas, Mind2Mind performs their Mentalist Duo residency for a crowd that has come specifically for this one act on the Strip.
James and Marina are 2025 FISM Gold Medalists and World Champions of Mentalism whose Las Vegas residency at Azul has run through summer as one of the most word-of-mouth-driven shows on the Strip. Their 75-minute performance puts Marina blindfolded at the far end of the intimate lounge where she reads names, memories, and private details from strangers. The act doesn’t change. It doesn’t need to.

Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways
2026-08-26 13:00 - 17:00, 2026-08-25 13:00 - 17:00 | Nevada Humanities Program Gallery, 1017 S. 1st Street, #190, Las Vegas, 89191, United States
Nevada Humanities presents Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways, an exhibition celebrating the diverse food traditions and stories of the people of the Silver State. Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways will be on display at the Nevada Humanities Program Gallery in Las Vegas from June 4 to Aug. 26, 2026.
Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways features stories about the food traditions of Nevadans as told through handmade, descriptive, illustrated recipe cards and zines. A zine is a small, handmade, self-published booklet or magazine that provides a hands-on, do-it-yourself way to share stories, artwork, poetry, and ideas. Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways will display food-oriented zines and recipe cards created by everyday Nevadans from across the state that represent the diversity and meaning of Nevada’s family food traditions.
Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways is part of Nevada Humanities’ Around the Table initiative of free, public humanities-based programming in commemoration of the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Throughout 2026, Nevada Humanities invites Nevadans to share and celebrate their diverse food traditions through a series of public events and creative reflections that explore Nevada foodways, food traditions, and expressive culture across the Silver State. Nevada Humanities will document Nevadans’ food stories and traditions in a new zine and recipe card collection housed in the Nevada Humanities archives. For more information on making zines or contributing to the collection, visit Around the Table: Contribute Your Recipe Cards and Zines to learn more.
As part of Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways, Nevada Humanities is hosting a series of zine making workshops during May, June, and July 2026. Event information will be available soon at nevadahumanities.org/calendar and in our upcoming email newsletters.
Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways is supported by Nevada Humanities’ generous donors and is produced by Nevada Humanities as part of the national initiative By the People: Conversations Beyond 250, which is a series of community-driven programs created by humanities councils in collaboration with local partners. By the People was developed by the Federation of State Humanities Councils and the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage.
The Nevada Humanities Program Gallery is located at 1017 S. 1st Street, #190, Las Vegas, and is open for viewing Monday – Friday, 1-5 p.m., and on the first Friday of the month until 10 p.m. for First Friday events.

2026-08-25 20:00 - 22:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Tuesday night at Sphere kicks off the final stretch of summer with a show that redefines what a screening can be for Las Vegas audiences.
The 1939 MGM classic has been rebuilt from the ground up for this venue — AI-upscaled to 16K across Sphere’s 160,000-square-foot screen, with a fully re-recorded full orchestral score, and live haptics, wind, fog, and scent cues timed to every frame of the film. You’re not watching Dorothy’s journey; you’re standing inside it with the rest of the crowd.

April Macie
2026-08-25 20:00 - 22:30
Tuesday, August 25 at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club inside MGM Grand — April Macie is back at 8:00 PM, and if Monday’s show left the crowd wanting more, Tuesday’s set delivers on every expectation.
Her comedy grows from a rough upbringing that she has transformed into sharp, explicit material — family dysfunction, relationship dynamics, gender politics, all delivered with a frank honesty that makes the room lean forward. She headlines nationally because the material holds up everywhere she takes it, including right here in Las Vegas.

Rod Stewart: The Encore Shows Las Vegas Residency
2026-08-25 19:30 - 22:00 | The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, 3570 S Las Vegas Blvd, Las Vegas, 89109, (866) 227-5938
Tuesday, August 25 at 7:30 PM, Rod Stewart returns to The Colosseum at Caesars Palace for another Encore Shows performance — the residency’s fall leg in full swing.
The man behind “Maggie May,” “Do Ya Think I’m Sexy,” and “Have I Told You Lately” has been performing at this Caesars stage for well over a decade, and the comfort he feels in that room translates into looser, warmer shows than almost any touring setup can deliver. Tuesday nights at The Colosseum in Las Vegas carry a particular intimacy that weekend crowds sometimes miss.

Michael Yo
2026-08-25 19:30 - 22:00
Michael Yo takes the stage at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on Tuesday, August 25 at 7:30 PM as his summer run rolls toward fall.
His stand-up mixes self-deprecating stories about family and biracial life with sharp, reactive crowd work — the kind of set that changes shape depending on who’s in the audience that night. He’s been refining this material through a full summer of Tuesday nights in Las Vegas, and the late-August version of the show has found its groove. A consistent and genuinely funny Tuesday anchor on the Strip.

Sheena Easton

2026-08-25 19:00 - 21:30 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, 89015
Tuesday, August 25 at 7:00 PM, Mind2Mind is back at Azul in Fontainebleau Las Vegas for a midweek show in a residency that heads toward its final month with momentum.
James and Marina are the FISM Gold Medalists who brought their World Champion mentalism act to Las Vegas and built something that keeps audiences returning.

One of the better ways to spend a Tuesday in Las Vegas.

Comedy Cellar
2026-08-25 19:00 - 21:30

Five TV headliners each work 15–20 minutes of their sharpest material, so you get real range in a single night out in Las Vegas.

Anees in Las Vegas headlines AREA15, the immersive entertainment complex just west of the Strip, on August 25, 2026. An independent Palestinian-Lebanese American artist and songwriter from Virginia, Anees is a genre-blurring singer, rapper and songwriter whose pop, R&B and hip-hop sensibilities fuse into bright, feel-good anthems. He broke through with viral hits like “sun and moon” and “slip,” has topped international Billboard charts, performed on Jimmy Kimmel Live and earned co-signs from Justin Bieber, Teddy Swims and Macklemore, with a catalog surpassing 750 million streams. AREA15 pairs live music with a distinctive, art-forward atmosphere unlike any traditional theater on the Strip, making it a fitting home for an artist whose sound and image lean warm and unconventional.

Tuesday, August 25 at 5:30 PM brings another Trailer Park Happy Hour to Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — a late-August Tuesday that’s as solid a reason as any to get to the Strip early in the evening. Vicki Barbolak has made this Las Vegas room her home base, and the comfort she has built here comes through clearly in how she reads and works the crowd.
Her comedy is rooted in marriage, family, and the absurdity of everyday domestic life; she turns the mundane into something the room laughs hard at, and a Tuesday before the weekend still in front of you is a great time to experience it.

Mural Unveiling – A Desert Dreamscape by Eric Vozzola

Join us for the Scorpion Den Open House as NSSA showcases the newly renovated space. This event includes the unveiling of a new mural, “A Desert Dreamscape” by Eric Vozzola, which was commissioned by NSSA with support from the Office for the Arts.

Eric Vozzola is a Las Vegas-based artist known for vibrant color palettes and imagery inspired by the desert landscape he calls home. His work blends fine art and design principles—balancing geometry, abstraction, and organic realism to create immersive, uplifting visual experiences rooted in thoughtful storytelling and site-specific design.

A commissioned muralist since 2014 and a full-time professional artist since 2019, Vozzola developed his artistic approach alongside a graphic design career after earning his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas in 2011. His background in design, illustration, and art direction continues to shape his collaborative and adaptable approach to large-scale public artworks and boutique commissioned works, alike. As a husband and father raising his family in his hometown of Las Vegas, Vozzola draws continued inspiration from the desert environment, community, and sense of place that have shaped both his life and his work.

Eric’s fine art, design, and murals can be found throughout southern Nevada and across the country, including Oregon, Florida, and Georgia. He has partnered with public agencies, schools, hospitals, cultural institutions, global brands, businesses, and private collectors — always guided by the belief that art and design should be meaningful, accessible, and deeply connected to its environment.
