Good morning, Las Vegas. The weekend clock is already running. The Aviators are home Friday through Sunday, Saturday brings two northwest markets, and the Extreme Heat Warning stays up through 8 p.m. today. Pick the outing before lunch. The asphalt owns the afternoon.
In today's Northwest Digest:
Shirt night at the ballpark
Two Saturday markets

Let's get to it.

Birthday Shoutouts for the Week
🎉 Happy belated 76th birthday to Karen Foreman and Sharon Larry!
Karen and Sharon are twins, born August 22, 1950, and neighbors in Sunstone/Axil. They turned 76 last Saturday. We missed the day, but Robert wrote in and made sure we did not miss the celebration entirely.
🥳 Karen and Sharon, this cheer is one issue late and twice as loud. Happy birthday from your northwest neighbors!
Week Ahead
Friday, August 28
🎬 Cowabunga Canyon Family Movie Night | 5-10 p.m. | Cowabunga Canyon, 7055 S. Fort Apache Road
Shrek gets the Friday screen, and the water attractions stay open until 8 p.m. Admission is $19.99; season passholders are free.
🎸 The Klique Band | 7 p.m. | Round Bar, The Resort at Summerlin
The Klique brings a full band to Round Bar, with a set that stretches from swing-era standards to current pop. The venue does not list a cover.
⚾ Aviators vs. Sugar Land Space Cowboys | 7:05 p.m. | Las Vegas Ballpark
Friday is Blue Collar Button Down Shirt Night. The 7:05 start keeps the worst of the afternoon heat out of the seats.
🧘 Full Moon Yoga | 8-9 p.m. | The Piazza at Tivoli Village
The free all-levels class moves outside after sunset. Registration is recommended, and a mat is the useful thing to remember.
Saturday, August 29
💦 Cowabunga Canyon Elementary Weekend | 11 a.m.-6 p.m. | Cowabunga Canyon, 7055 S. Fort Apache Road
One $14.99 adult ticket admits up to four children in grades 5 and under. Bring a report card, enrollment letter, class schedule, or school-portal screenshot; homeschool records count.
🦴 Pop-Up Paleo Lab | 1-3 p.m. | Ice Age Fossils State Park
Watch a paleontologist prepare fossils and ask questions as the work happens. The indoor drop-in costs $3 for adults, children 12 and under are free, and registration is not required.
⚾ Aviators Giveaway Surprise Night | 7:05 p.m. | Las Vegas Ballpark
The first 2,000 fans through the gates get the surprise giveaway. On this night, arrival time matters more than seat location.
🍽️ Today's Deal: Shucks Tavern & Oyster Bar: $4 off lamb chops and $5 house wine from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m.; dine-in only at 7155 N. Durango Road.
Sunday, August 30
💦 Cowabunga Canyon Elementary Weekend | 11 a.m.-6 p.m. | Cowabunga Canyon, 7055 S. Fort Apache Road
Sunday has the same $14.99 adult-ticket deal for up to four children in grades 5 and under. School proof is required at the ticket window.
⚾ Aviators vs. Sugar Land Space Cowboys | 6:05 p.m. | Las Vegas Ballpark
The series finale starts an hour earlier than the Friday and Saturday games. That helps if Monday morning still has a schedule.
✍️ The Nature of Poetry Night | 6:30-8 p.m. | Red Rock Canyon Visitor Center
Local writers read work shaped by the desert. The program is free, but advance registration and the Scenic Drive entry fee are required.
🧘 Restorative Sound Bath & Breathwork | 7-8:30 p.m. | Dance Vision Studios Summerlin, 9081 W. Sahara Ave., Suite 190
The 90-minute session costs $40 and is capped at 35 people. Bring a mat, blanket, and pillow; a Meetup RSVP does not reserve a paid spot.
Monday, August 31
🀄 Mahjong Social at Honey Salt | 5:30-7:30 p.m. | Honey Salt, 1031 S. Rampart Blvd.
The $45 ticket covers two hours of open play with sets provided, plus light bites and tea or a soft drink. It is a real Monday plan in Summerlin, not a downtown consolation prize.
10K Steps Is a Myth–Try This Instead
When motivation is lacking, jumping into heavy routines is the fastest way to burn out. That’s why millions of people are turning to walking as the foundation of their fitness journey.
Walking lets you enjoy the outdoors, clear your head, and practice mindfulness. It’s simple, sustainable, and can support lasting weight loss if you know how much you need. The “10,000 steps a day” rule is outdated; everyone’s lifestyle is different.
With Simple, you’ll get access to habit-based coaching that’s helped users lose over 18 million pounds. Take the quiz to discover your personalized walking target.

Meet Homer
Four-year-old Homer arrived at Golden Retriever Rescue Southern Nevada after years as a traveling breeding dog and a cancer diagnosis. Surgery is behind him, chemotherapy is next, and he needs a forever foster prepared for careful introductions with other dogs.
GRRSN will cover Homer's veterinary expenses for life, including cancer treatment and follow-up care. He currently lives with three foster sisters, though the rescue describes him as dog-selective.
