  • TV: Loki

    It’s impossible to predict exactly what we’ll get from Marvel’s Loki, now streaming on Disney+. Will its namesake trickster god (Tom Hiddleston) redeem himself, or double down on the shady stuff that’s worked for him so far? What do Mobius (Owen Wilson) and the mysterious Time Variance Authority really want from him? Which other Marvel Cinematic Universe stars will make internet-breaking cameos? And isn’t Loki, you know, dead? Only one thing seems certain: The studio that delivered back-to-back winners with WandaVision and The Falcon and the Winter Soldier is probably dropping another one. Disney+. –Geoff Carter

  • Party: Diplo at Encore Beach Club

    Some of our long-absent superstar headlining DJs made their big Strip comeback last weekend, but it’s not really pool club season in Las Vegas until Diplo spins at EBC. The producer and longtime Wynn Nightlife resident has kept busy lately, collaborating on some trippy clogs with the Crocs brand, wrapping up his Diplo & Friends radio show and joining festival lineups. His first Vegas gig in more than a year will be cause for celebration. June 13, 11 a.m., $75-$200, encorebeachclub.com.

  • Dance: Adult Prom at The Center

    Your high school prom might have sucked, but here’s another chance to enjoy a magical evening, thanks to the LGBTQIA+ Center of Southern Nevada’s inaugural Adult Prom. Themed “Dancing Under the Stars—An Enchanted Garden Party,” the event will take place in the Center’s lovely gardens. Dress up or down, whatever makes you feel your most authentic self. Expect music, food, dancing and entertainment. All are welcome, as long as you’re 21 or over. (For younger partygoers, the Center will host a Youth Prom on June 12.) June 11, 7 p.m., $10 suggested donation, 401 S. Maryland Parkway, tinyurl.com/thecenterdance. –C. Moon Reed

  • Art: '160 SQF,' Diaspora & Making Faces at Las Vegas City Hall

    Las Vegas City Hall is currently hosting three—count ’em, three—must-see art exhibitions. The Gig Depio-curated Diaspora, in the Chamber Gallery, features works by Sapira Cheuk, Ailene Pasco, Laurens Tan and more. The colorful denizens of Holly Lay’s Making Faces peer out of the Windows on First all day and night. And Nima Abkenar’s “160 SQF, the 211 Project” has a scale appropriate to the Grand Gallery: It’s an entire 160 square-foot living space fashioned from cardboard, a literal box apartment. Monday-Thursday, 7 a.m.-5:30 p.m., free. –Geoff Carter

  • Concert: Virgin las Vegas Grand Opening with Christina Aguilera

    The resort opened on March 25, but now that all of its varied and refined pieces are ready for action, it’s time for a proper celebration. Las Vegas will be able to experience Élia Beach Club, Todd English’s Olives restaurant and the sports bar and night spot Money, Baby! this weekend, all culminating in the first concert event in the former Joint space, starring Christina Aguilera, Flo Rida and Mix Master Mike. Expect an appearance by Virgin brand founder Richard Branson, too. June 10, 8 p.m., $49-$149, virginhotelslv.com.
