🌮 Taco frenzy | Stalker musical | Big plant sale | Disco dinner | Cosplay con | Chub dancers | Meow rave
MY PERSONAL SIGN of official Vegas spring is when like 27 choreographed bees attempt to airlift my cheeseburger out of my hands when I'm getting my beery patio-nosh on in the Arts District on Saturday afternoon. Which is what happened. Anyhoo, never mind that buzz – here are parking-lot concerts, open-air taco fests, and plant-people parties to usher in the not-yet-hellishly-hot season. Cheers! – Andrew Kiraly 🤍

🐀 Critter Klatsch
Tecopa is known for, I dunno, hot springs and a light Burner vibe I guess? This weekend, though, it becomes an edutaining daytrip getaway during Vole Fest March 29, a day devoted to celebrating the Amargosa vole. It's an endangered mouselike rodent that lives in the area's bulrush marshes, where it makes intricate tunnel networks – think fuzzy li'l C.H.U.D. – to get around. The day's events include marsh hikes, hands-on activities, and a beer-fueled trivia closer. (Be sure to brush up: the questions are, of course, vole-themed.)
