Dance above the Strip at the Loft Party, go to an art museum for free, and put on your best leather for the Bondage Ball. Here are five things to do in Vegas this weekend (Feb 2 -4):
1. Feel like a star @ The Loft Party at Sugar Factory
Experience the ultimate nightlife at The Loft Party hosted by Sugar Factory. You get stunning views of the Las Vegas Strip and an open bar offering unlimited drinks throughout the night. Even better, the night will only cost $40, a steal by Vegas standards.
When: Friday and Saturday, 9 pm
Where: The Sugar Factory, Strip Location (3717 S Las Vegas Blvd)
2. Feast your eyes @ the First Friday Art Walk
It’s that time again. The First Friday art walk and block party is back; this time, it’s all about the “Dream.” The family-friendly event honors artists from Las Vegas and beyond, with Athena Q as the current star. There will be live entertainment, busy art pieces, open galleries, and many food trucks and bars to explore. It’s a great introduction to Downtown Vegas if you’re a tourist and a reminder that this city has culture if you’re not.
When: Friday, 5 – 11 pm
Where: 1025 S 1st St.
3. Celebrate Culture @ The Las Vegas Natural History Museum’s Folk Arts workshop
Don’t miss the upcoming Folk Arts workshop hosted by Harold Akyeampong, a Ghanaian African dance performer. This engaging event is part of The Las Vegas Natural History Museum’s month-long black history month exhibition titled “Resilience.” Join in this unique cultural experience, where Akyeampong’s workshop is seamlessly woven into the broader narrative of Resilience—a community-created cultural exhibition and a museum-curated historical exploration of the impactful scientific contributions made by African Americans.
When: Saturday, 11 am + 1 pm
Where: Las Vegas Natural History Museum
4. Support local art @ The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum
Have you ever wanted to go to an art museum but didn’t want to pay the fee? The Rita Deanin Abbey Art Museum now offers free admission every first Saturday of the month! Just make sure you register online. Explore the 10,500-square-foot gallery featuring the diverse works of the late UNLV art professor Rita Deanin Abbey. From paintings and drawings to sculptures, the museum offers a unique and expansive showcase of artistic expression.
When: Saturday, 10 am – 5 pm

When: Saturday, 9 pm
