Reno Jazz Orchestra Presents “A Jazz/Rock Odyssey in Lake Tahoe and Reno
2026-07-28 19:30 - 21:30 (America/Los_Angeles) | Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival at Sand Harbor State Park, 948 Incline Way, Incline Village, NV, 89452, United States
The Reno Jazz Orchestra will present “A Jazz/Rock Odyssey’ in Lake Tahoe and Reno this summer, July 28 and 29, 2026. Sinatra crooner, rock vocalist and America’s Got Talent finalist, Matt Mauser, will join the 17-piece orchestra for a trek through time from brassy swing and swagger to retro horn-driven grooves and a powerful tribute to classic rock.
The first performance is on July 28, 2026, at the Robert Z. Hawkins Sand Harbor State Park in Incline Village, Nevada, and starts at 7:30 p.m. The second performance is July 29, 2026, at the Robert Z. Hawkins Amphitheater at Bartley Ranch Regional Park in Reno, Nevada.
“From Frank Sinatra’s smooth swagger to Elvis’s rock ’n’ roll grooves, and Tom Jones’s powerhouse hits, Matt Mauser brings the music of these unforgettable artists to life through dynamic performances that entertain audiences across every generation,” said Greg Johnson, music director for the Reno Jazz Orchestra.
Praised by members of Sinatra’s family for his aptitude in capturing the essence of Frank’s music and charisma, Mauser also brings his own signature style to the stage. He infuses some of the most beloved songs from an iconic era with modern flair, while offering insight into the rich musical history behind each timeless tune.
“There are very few entertainers who can traverse the vocal versatility terrain in the manner Matt can,” Johnson said. “Without missing a beat, he can casually croon Sinatra’s ‘Fly Me to the Moon,’ then roll into a toe-tapping rendition of Johnny Cash’s ‘Folsom Prison Blues.’ For this particular performance with the Reno Jazz Orchestra, Matt will be tapping into his crooner and rock sensibility sides to deliver a show that will have the audience wanting more.”
Since 1997, the Reno Jazz Orchestra has carried forward a legacy established by world-class musicians who performed with legends like Frank Sinatra, Elvis Presley, and Luciano Pavarotti. Today, that tradition continues through top educators and performers connected to the University of Nevada, Reno, and throughout the West. Its mission is to create unforgettable big band experiences, from jazz classics to contemporary compositions and the Great American Songbook. Each season, outstanding guest artists join the Orchestra for performances that thrill, inspire, celebrate and fuel the future of the magic of jazz.

Mind2Mind - Mentalist Duo
2026-07-28 19:00 - 21:30 | Fontainebleau Las Vegas, 2777 South Las Vegas Blvd., Las Vegas, 89015
Tuesday, July 28 at 7:00 PM, Mind2Mind holds down the early part of the week at Azul inside Fontainebleau Las Vegas with a Mentalist Duo show that has found a loyal midweek audience.
James and Marina are 2025 FISM Gold Medalists who came up through Got Talent stages in the US and UK and now perform six nights a week on the Strip. Their act in Las Vegas is built around “Second Sight” — Marina blindfolded on one side of Azul, reading the room from a distance while James works the crowd. Tuesday nights at Azul are deliberately unhurried, and the show benefits from that pace.

Comedy Cellar
2026-07-28 19:00 - 21:30
Tuesday July 28 at 7:00 PM, Comedy Cellar Las Vegas at the Rio runs the early show with five rotating headliners in the underground room near the end of July. The early slot is efficient: 90 minutes of showcase stand-up, done by 8:30 PM, with a fresh weekly bill that is never the same from one Tuesday to the next.
That weekly rotation is the engine of the Comedy Cellar. The club assembles its lineup fresh each week, drawing from a broad network of serious comedians and holding the announcement until close to the show. Five comics, each doing 15 to 20 minutes of real material, in an intimate Las Vegas room built after the original Greenwich Village club. Tuesday July 28 at 7:00 PM delivers.

Vicki Barbolak
2026-07-28 17:30 - 20:00
Vicki Barbolak returns to Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on Tuesday, July 28 for the 5:30 PM early show on the Strip.
Her stand-up treats trailer park life and Southern California motherhood not as punchlines but as the source of real, hard-earned comedy built from personal experience across years of road work. The “Trailer Nasty” persona she’s built and amplified on America’s Got Talent translates immediately to a Las Vegas crowd — warm, direct, and specific enough to feel like she’s talking about someone you actually know. The early slot moves fast and she wastes none of it. A complete comedy experience before the evening has even fully started.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-07-28 17:00 - 19:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Tuesday, July 28 at 5:00 PM, The Wizard of Oz at Sphere keeps its run strong through the end of July with an evening show that puts the production’s staying power in Las Vegas on full display.
The show has drawn more than 2.2 million tickets since opening, and the reasons are not hard to find: a 160,000-square-foot wraparound 16K display, 167,000 programmable speakers, and 4D physical effects that make the classic film genuinely tactile. Not many Las Vegas productions earn that cumulative audience and still feel fresh deep into the run.

Around the Table: Stories of Nevada Foodways
2026-07-28 13:00 - 17:00, 2026-07-27 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.
For more information, contact Bobbie Ann Howell via email at bahowell@nevadahumanities.org or by phone at 702-800-4670.

Luenell at Jimmy Kimmel's Comedy Club
2026-07-27 21:30 - 2026-07-28 00:00
The July residency closes with Luenell at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club on Monday, July 27 at 9:30 PM — right at The LINQ Promenade.
Over a career spanning more than three decades, Luenell has developed a stand-up voice that is equal parts sharp and soulful — she can make you laugh hard at something that just barely edges toward heartbreaking. Monday night at this Strip comedy room is the kind of show that sneaks up on you: casual setting, serious comedic firepower.

Comedy Cellar
2026-07-27 21:30 - 2026-07-28 00:00
Monday July 27 at 9:30 PM at Comedy Cellar Las Vegas: deep summer, late Monday, and the underground room at the Rio is running the showcase with five rotating headliners for 90 tight minutes of stand-up. There is nothing slow about the Comedy Cellar’s format: five comics back to back, no gaps, no transitions that drag.
The rotating weekly lineup is announced fresh for this week, assembled from the Comedy Cellar’s network of working stand-ups and reflecting the best available for this particular stretch of July. Adults-only, 18 and up, an intimate 300-seat room at the Rio. Late Monday in Las Vegas works when the room and the format are both this focused.

Dive In Movie - Superman
2026-07-27 20:00 - 22:30
Monday, July 27 at 8:00 PM, the Cosmopolitan’s Dive In Movie series screens Superman at Boulevard Pool — the cape, the score, and the origin story on a 65-foot marquee above the Las Vegas Strip.
The 1978 Richard Donner film with Christopher Reeve set the template for superhero cinema, and it holds up on a big screen in a way that modern productions rarely match. The Cosmo’s pool cinema setup is genuinely impressive: a full outdoor screen, warm July air, and an audience that brings real energy to every Monday screening. Las Vegas in late summer is peak season for this kind of evening — doors open at 6:30 PM, so arrive with time to settle in.

Danny Bevins
2026-07-27 20:00 - 22:30
Monday, July 27 at 8:00 PM — Danny Bevins opens his week at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club at MGM Grand, and if the room seems a little more charged than usual for a Monday, that’s simply how Bevins operates from the first minute.
Loud, opinionated, and deliberately provocative, he finds the humor in human arrogance and runs straight at it without hesitation. Winner of the San Francisco International Comedy Competition, he has been honing this particular brand of comedic chaos on stages across the country for over 25 years.

Josh Wolf
2026-07-27 19:30 - 22:00
Josh Wolf wraps out July with a Monday, July 27 show at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club, 7:30 PM on the Las Vegas Strip.
His comedy mines the specific — real stories from a real life — and turns them into something every person in the room recognizes. That’s the trick Wolf has been pulling off since he was 15 years old on stage in Boston, and decades later he makes it look completely natural. The Strip gets the full version of that craft tonight.

The Wizard of Oz at Sphere
2026-07-27 14:00 - 16:30 | Sphere, 255 Sands Ave, Las Vegas, 89169, (725) 258-6724
Monday, July 27 at 2:00 PM, the final week of July opens at Sphere with a weekday afternoon show that tends to run at a more relaxed pace than the weekend crowds bring to the Las Vegas venue.
The Wizard of Oz at Sphere uses Google AI-generated imagery, live pyrotechnics, infrasound haptic seats, and Sphere’s 16K wraparound display to turn the 1939 film into a room-filling experience at every performance. A Monday afternoon matinee gives you all of that with a little more space to take it in fully.

Late July brings Luenell back to Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — she’s on for Sunday, July 26 at 9:30 PM on the Las Vegas Strip.
Luenell’s comedy is built on lived experience: growing up between Arkansas roots and Bay Area reality, navigating relationships, surviving hard years, and finding the funny in all of it. Her residency at The LINQ Promenade has made her a cornerstone of the city’s comedy scene, and the Sunday night format gives the show a relaxed, open-ended feel she uses well.

Vince Carone with Luca Ferro
2026-07-26 20:00 - 22:30
Sunday, July 26 at Brad Garrett’s Comedy Club closes the Vince Carone and Luca Ferro run at the MGM Grand with an 8 PM show that carries the easy energy of a final night. Carone’s rapid-fire style—a master at connecting the mundane to the absurd through sheer conversational velocity—plays differently on Sunday, a little more free-form, just as funny.
Ferro’s Italian-American background and expressive character work have made him a featured act for nationally touring headliners, and a Sunday closing show at a Las Vegas Strip club is exactly the kind of room where his material lands well.

Josh Wolf
2026-07-26 19:30 - 22:00
Late July in Las Vegas and Josh Wolf is back at Jimmy Kimmel’s Comedy Club — Sunday, July 26 at 7:30 PM on the Strip.

His 2025 special The Campfire Special gave him fresh material and a new wave of fans, many of whom are showing up for the first time on nights like this one.

Sunday, July 26 at 7:00 PM, Azul at Fontainebleau Las Vegas hosts Mind2Mind for a closing-weekend show in an intimate room that has become one of the best places to spend a Las Vegas Sunday evening.
James Harrington and Marina Liani are the FISM Gold Medalists and World Champions of Mentalism who came to Las Vegas and built a residency that keeps filling Azul’s limited seats. Their show is 75 minutes of psychological precision — Marina blindfolded, working from across the lounge while James channels audience energy toward her. It’s quiet when it needs to be, and that quiet is what makes the reveals hit.

House of Blues Las Vegas on Sunday, July 26 at 7:00 PM: Louie TheSinger brings country to the Strip with a performance style built on powerful vocals and Southern storytelling. He works the emotional end of the genre — the kind of set where the room goes quiet and then loud in quick succession.
A Sunday night show at House of Blues has its own energy in Las Vegas, and a country act who can hold a room on a quiet night is exactly what this slot rewards.

Comedy Cellar
2026-07-26 19:00 - 21:30
Sunday July 26 at 7:00 PM, Comedy Cellar Las Vegas at the Rio opens the late weekend with the early showcase in the underground room. Five rotating headliner-level stand-ups work through 90 minutes of material in a space that was built as a true replica of the original New York Comedy Cellar in Greenwich Village.
The 18-and-up adults-only format at the Rio means the comics here work at full strength, and the rotating weekly bill assembled for July 26 will be its own distinct show. Five comedians, 15 to 20 minutes each, no warm-up structure. The Comedy Cellar in Las Vegas is the early Sunday showcase done right, in a room that knows exactly what it is.
