TODAY’S WIND DOWN BROUGHT TO YOU WITH

Happy Friday Afternoon, Neighbor!

Did you get out to Tivoli Village last night? Makers & Music was a bit sparse, to be honest, but there was some banana bread for the tasting and I did get to see tiny tots doing the universal toddler dance, so we’ll call it a winning night out.

If you’re planning to vote in the Primary Election, you might want to know early voting starts tomorrow, so you can get it done lickety-split like.

And in other voting and beyond-Summerlin news, there’s an ongoing Student Design Challenge for the Sphere and you can vote on the best designs out of 100 finalists. So, if you’ve got a minute today and want some say in how The Strip looks (or just want to see what local students have designed), go have yourself a vote.

In today's Summerlin City Wind Down:

  • Today's (And This Weekend’s) Happy Hours 🍻

  • A Poll on… Polls? 🤨

  • Restaurant Specials 😋

  • The Weekend's Events & Live Music 🎵

  • Beyond Summerlin 🚗

Let's get to it. See you on the other side.

But first up, a quick note from our sponsor. Mmmm... tea. (Don't miss the discount code to save 20%!)

TODAY’S HAPPY HOURS 🍻

Like beer? I don’t. But I know a lot of you do. That’s why today’s (and this weekend’s) Happy Hours are all about you beer-lovers.

There are plenty of places with “select beers” on their Happy Hour menus, but what’s that about? A true Happy Hour should provide ultimate beer-selection. Well, at least as much beer selection as they have.

These are the places where Happy Hour prices aren’t limited to a small selection of their beers, but where if it’s on draft, it’s on sale. And several of them have weekend Happy Hours.

TODAY’S HAPPY HOURS
