Ready to indulge? Well, it’s Fat Tuesday, so there’s no better time to get all that feasting in, especially if you intend to go Lenten tomorrow.

Also, there’s allegedly rain on the way, so we’ll see if that ever shows up.

Also, if you want to celebrate the ladies in your life - and why wouldn’t you? - there are a couple of cool Women’s History Month dinners on the horizon. Today, we talk about the one coming up first.

Brunello is hosting a 4-course International Women’s Day dinner at 7 pm this Saturday (March 8). The meal itself is $49.99/person, but you can add a 2-hour wine package for $19.99. No reds, though, because apparently they think certain foods will make me appreciate white wine more…

  • Brunello

  • Summerlin North

  • Happy Hour: 3-5 pm

  • International Women’s Day Dinner: $49.99/person (4 courses)

Or, if you just want to get your Mardi Gras indulgence in before tomorrow, here are the places you can do it on the cheap.

BEYOND THE WEST SIDE EVENTS & HAPPENINGS 👺🎵

For a town that loves its debauchery, Vegas sure has been neglectful in adopting Mardi Gras. There were parties, but only at the start of the season, and now it’s pretty much a barren landscape.

But there is one Mardi Gras party tonight at Hattie Marie’s Texas BBQ on Las Vegas Boulevard. And, even better, it benefits a good cause.

TONIGHT 👺

  • Mardi Gras Madness 👺

    Hattie Marie’s Texas BBQ

    7686 S Las Vegas Blvd

    6-9 pm

    *The Diamond Foundation Takeover; mention the “Foundation”

Join us for a party with a purpose at Hattie Marie's Texas BBQ LV! Get ready to dance, eat, and celebrate Fat Tuesday in style.

Otherwise, it’s a pretty sparse few days around the Valley too.

But, if you’re not feeling Mardi Gras, you can also hook up some high-quality free music tonight.

MUSIC 🎵

Come enjoy a rare treat of classical music - a variety of standard symphonic orchestral repertoire ranging from early Baroque through modern contemporary.

Of Interest Around the Valley 💡🌧️

Here are some things Around the Valley we think might be of interest -

The Night the Lights Went Out In Vegas… Again 💡

But this time it’s ‘cause of balloons.

Balloons. 10,000 people without power… ‘cause balloons.

I don’t know, it’s almost like burying power lines underground, like in most of Western Europe, is smart or something.

Ready for the Rain? 🌧️

Weather reports say it’s coming… along with more strong winds.

Wednesday into Thursday… so be ready for that.
