Attend Def Con 29

Def Con has long been a tradition in Las Vegas and this year, the trade show for computer hackers (and those trying to counteract them) runs August 6-9 in Las Vegas. The conference is partially in-person (at Paris and Bally’s) and partially online.

Watch wrestling or boxing in Las Vegas

The WWE is bringing Summerslam to Allegiant Stadium on August 21. The event is traditionally one of WWE’s biggest shows of the year, featuring big names like John Cena and Brock Lesnar. However, on the same night, Manny Pacquiao faces Errol Spence Jr. at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Wrestling or boxing? The choice is yours.

Fremont Street Experience: Step away from the pool or AC for a few hours with an evening adventure in the not-so-old Downtown. The Fremont Street Experience has a Viva Vision light show, free concerts and the Slotzilla zip line.

Fire off Some Firearms: Las Vegas is known for its gun ranges and if the August heat has you frustrated, blow off some steam during target practice. Battlefield Vegas has indoor and outdoor experiences, ranging from entry-level gun classes for beginners to crushing a car with a tank. The choice is yours.

Free Drinks in Las Vegas: Las Vegas is not the cheapest place to grab a drink. Fortunately, we list semi-secret promotions and weekly open bars. These events are often added with little notice. Review the special offers on our nightclub page when you log in with Facebook.
