MISC: BIGHORN RODEO No bull, rodeo’s a rough sport. But it’s a hell of a lot of fun to watch. That’s why the Nevada Gay Rodeo Association has kept its BigHorn Rodeo a community-wide tradition since 1996. The inclusive celebration bucks stereotypes, showcasing the raw power of seasoned bronc riders and leaving bigotry and bias in the dust. The show kicks off with the Rodeo Idol singing contest and free rodeo school, followed by bull-riding, barrel racing, roping competitions and down-in-the-dirt goat-dressing for the camp of it all. Live performances by female impersonators like Kenneth Blake, wig designer of RuPaul’s Drag Race Live, should also keep your boots scootin’ all weekend long. Thru 5/25, times vary, $20-$30, Horseman’s Park, 5800 E. Flamingo Road, ngra.com. –Amber Sampson

Sunday, May 25

COMEDY: MARCELLO HERNANDEZ He’s not just Domingo. Marcello Hernandez may be the anchor of one of Saturday Night Live’s most viral recent sketches, but the 27-year-old Miami native and third-year castmember is no one-hit wonder. In writing about his blossoming SNL fan-favorite status, Vogue notes, “There may be no man on earth with stronger golden-retriever energy.” (For the record, our favorite Marcello is his “Couple You Can’t Believe Are Together” with Jane Wickline on Weekend Update.) Vegas gets to catch all that energy through enthusiastic stand-up material about being a mama’s boy, a baseball fan, and why Latin food rules (“I’ve never heard anybody go, ‘Yo quiero Cracker Barrel.’”) at the Cosmo this week. 8 p.m., $56-$164, the Chelsea, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke
