Viper’s home opener
Few things in life are as sad as the end of the NFL season and the ensuing 7 extremely long Sundays of actually having to interact with family and months of waiting for football to return. Football fans, dry your tears, the XFL is coming. The on-and-off professional league is back for a third round after suspending operations during the pandemic in March 2020. And this time, Las Vegas has a squad. Watch the Vipers host the nasty DC Defenders at Cashman Field on Saturday at 4 p.m. Tickets start at $22; ticketmaster.com.

A former professional surfer and no-nonsense environmentalist, Jake Johnson has made the ocean his life’s work in many ways. His soulful folk-pop is like the waves he once rode expertly, swelling and blissfully enveloping you. See him Friday and Saturday at the Encore Theater in Wynn Las Vegas at 8pm.

West Coast Conference Championship
As far as basketball rivalries go, it wasn’t exactly Duke vs. UNC. Still, there are always fireworks when Gonzaga takes on St. Mary’s, and with both teams currently ranked in the top 15 in the AP Men’s College Basketball Poll, the two are more evenly matched than usual. Expect a tight clash if they meet in the West Coast Conference Men’s Championship, where they’ll be favorites in a field that includes BYU, San Diego and Santa Clara. The women’s first round kicks off at noon on Thursday, while the men’s starts at 6 p.m. at the Orleans Arena. Fares vary; ticketmaster.com.

Miniature Artisans International Market

Watch it all Saturday 10am-6pm and Sunday 10am-4pm at the Arizona Room on the Gold Coast.Tickets are $6 for children and $12 for adults; EmmaTravel.com
