Drink

UNLVino Three nights, three reasons to raise a glass.

March 31-April 2, $50-$100, various locations, unlvino.com.

Go

Country Crawl If awards shows are your thing, Sunday brings the Academy of Country Music’s annual who’s who at MGM Grand. Or you could dress down the same night at Mandalay Bay’s ACM Fan Jam headlined by Sugarland, or on Monday at MGM, for the Superstar Women of Country concert featuring Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and more. Or hell, leave your wallet at home and hit Fremont Street’s free Friday and Saturday shows with Sara Evans and Ronnie Dunn onstage. April 1-4, various venues, times and prices.

Burlesque at Beauty Bar The Downtown watering hole presents a production featuring the art of the striptease, with world-renowned pinup model Bettina May headlining the sexy soiree. April 5, 11 p.m., $5.
