The Vantage LV #41

Good morning, Vegas! This week felt like a gift: sunny skies, barely a breeze, and just enough heat to remind you it’s still summer. If we can keep this weather streak going, we might just make it through July with our eyebrows intact. But even if the forecast turns, the lineup doesn’t slow down.

🧼 A rave where you leave soaked (and not just in sweat)
🍺 Craft beer and live bands… at 8,600 feet
🎤 A K-pop icon returns to the U.S.
