Megan Thee Stallion

MUSIC: MEGAN THEE STALLION The “Houston hottie with a model body” has done a few laps through Vegas, but this marks her first headlining show on the Strip—and it’s about damn time. Those familiar with the iconic rapper’s catalog can vouch for her authenticity as one of the best lyricists of the last decade. Who else could have followed in Lauryn Hill’s footsteps, becoming the second female rapper to win Best New Artist at the Grammys? Who else could have inspired a cultural movement with Hot Girl Summer? Who else could have beefed with Nicki Minaj, dropped a fiery diss track (“Hiss”) and lived to rap another day? As she rose to prominence, Megan also returned to school to obtain her degree in health administration, in hopes of bettering her community. By all means, she’s worthy of every bit of praise she’s received. with Glorilla, 8 p.m., $95+, MGM Grand Garden Arena, axs.com. –Amber Sampson

PartyNextDoor

PARTY: PARTYNEXTDOOR Hip-hop and R&B outlier PartyNextDoor has written and produced massive hits by Drake and Rihanna; had a song fuel a viral dance challenge on TikTok last year; and this year released a fourth solo album and planned a nearly sold-out tour named for one of the record’s standout tracks, “Sorry I’m Outside.” He may not be a household name, but his signature sound—pitched-up, auto-tuned vocals over somewhat somber rhythms and icy trap beats—is unmistakable, immediately evoking afterhours activities, intimacy and tension. He doesn’t have an official tour stop in Vegas, but Party still found a place to play at Fontainebleau, and the newest nightclub on the Strip feels like a vibe connection. 10:30 p.m., $30-$50+, LIV Nightclub, tixr.com. –Brock Radke
