Upcoming Events and Area Happenings

If you’re assuming that nothing much is going to be happening over the next few weeks before the Fall Festival, I’m delighted to inform you that you’re wrong. And I’m guessing you’re delighted, too. C’mon. Everybody likes to be wrong sometimes.

Live music returns to the Pahrump Nugget this fall starting this Friday. Mark Aston is the featured band, with his performances scheduled for the first Friday of every month through December. He is a Las Vegas–based entertainer known for covering Motown classics, Sinatra style crooning, contemporary hits by Bruno Mars and John Legend, plus touches of country, jazz, reggae, and classic rock. He’s headlined major Vegas venues including the Mirage, the M Resort, Westgate, and Fiesta Henderson - and now he’s the featured band at our Pahrump Nugget.
