Seven Nights

Sat. 22

It’s McFadden’s Three-Year Birthday Bash, and you’re invited! Partiers born in January drink for free from 10 p.m.–midnight, and everyone can enjoy $3 shots of Irish whiskey and beer and partake in a killer cupcake eating contest. (In the Rio, doors 11 a.m., event 8 p.m., men $25, women $15.) Legends of punk rock Social Distortion band together with Lucero and Chuck Ragan and kick off their tour for their album, Hard Times and Nursery Rhymes, released Jan. 18. (At the House of Blues in Mandalay Bay, doors 7 p.m., tickets start at $30, available at HouseOfBlues.com.) Rock ’n’ Roll Wine will hold its first soiree of the year at Ovation with more than 30 wines for the tasting, and not-to-miss performances by Imagine Dragons and Steel Panther. (At Green Valley Ranch, doors 7 p.m., tickets $35 in advance at RNRWine.com, $40 at the door plus taxes and fees.) And because no weekend in Sin City is complete without some house music, Robbie Rivera (pictured) comes to Marquee to give you your fist-pumping fix. (In the Cosmopolitan, doors 10 p.m., $30 cover.)

Sat. 8

Let ’60s heartthrob and former front man of the Monkees, Davy Jones, backed by Paul Revere and the Raiders, channel the daydream believer inside of you. (At South Point, Jan. 7-9, doors 7:30 p.m., tickets $30/$35/$40.) And if you fancy monkeying around of a different sort, Lavo’s seductive and steamy Erotica Ball is hosted by Dave Navarro (pictured) in honor of AVN weekend. (In the Palazzo, doors 10 p.m., $30 men, $20 women, local ladies free.)

Tues. 4

Forget the WSOP; it’s World Series of Beer Pong time, and it all goes down at the Flamingo, with UFC/MMA announcer Bruce Buffer (pictured) presiding. The contest runs Jan. 1-5—and it’s free to watch. Meanwhile, the B-side gets a second chance at Rockhouse, during the “second-best beer pong competition in Las Vegas.” The Rockhouse Cup offers teams that flunked out of the actual WSOBP a chance at $5,000, plus two-for-one beers and $20 pitchers with their credentials. In front of Imperial Palace, doors 10 a.m., tournament 9 p.m., $50 team registration via RockCup@TheRockhouseBar.com before 11 a.m. Jan. 4.

Fri. 10

The girls of Crazy Horse III are used to hearing guys shout “Show us your cans,” but tonight that’s your job, as the gentlemen’s club hosts a holiday food drive. Show them your cans—of nonperishable food items—then take advantage of the open bar and complimentary sushi 9-11 p.m. (3525 W. Russell Road., 24/7, no cover.) The Palms goes country for NFR as Miranda Lambert (pictured) plays The Pearl. She’s no Taylor Swift, but she does have a famous +1. The future Mrs. Blake Shelton joins openers Eric Church and Josh Kelley onstage at 10 p.m. ($45-$79.) Meanwhile, the Hard Rock Café on the Strip hosts two shows in one—Temper Trap and Imagine Dragons—for the price of less than one: $15 in advance (TicketWeb.com) or $20 at the door. Doors 8 p.m., show 9 p.m., ages 18-plus.
