What to do in Las Vegas this week: May 1-7

Thursday, May 1

MUSIC: KING HANNAH “I know becoming obsessed with one musician and listening repeatedly,” sings Hannah Merrick in King Hannah’s latest single “Leftovers,” dryly adding another “repeatedly” for emphasis. It’s easy to imagine the music of this Liverpool-based duo kindling that bottomless need. Their 2024 album Big Swimmer, a shimmering work defined by the push-and-pull of Craig Whittle’s buzzy lo-fi guitars and Merrick’s languid, breathy vocals, earned them favorable comparisons to everyone from Mazzy Star to Liz Phair to John Prine, but there’s something more there, something wholly unique waiting to emerge. And it could just happen at this Swan Dive show presented by Dirty Rock and Roll Dance Party and—wait for it—Neon Reverb, whose name we’re awfully glad to see attached to a Downtown show once again. Solid local acts Joobilee and Deacon Hill play opening sets. 8 p.m., $12-$15, Swan Dive, swandivelv.com. –Geoff Carter

PARTY: SADDLE CLUB WITH DEE JAY SILVER Mandalay Bay’s Daylight Beach Club likes to make us wait a bit, opening for the season a little later than the other pool parties on the Strip. But it’s always worth the wait, and this year marks the debut of Saddle Club, a country-themed bash designed as the perfect pre-party to the Post Malone and Jelly Roll show at Allegiant Stadium. And if you’re gonna go country up in the club, there’s no better choice in Las Vegas than Dee Jay Silver, the first-ever DJ to sign with a Nashville record label. Even if you’re not headed to the concert, poolside at Daylight is the place to be Saturday. 11 a.m., $30+, Daylight Beach Club, tixr.com. –Brock Radke
