DISCUSSION

‘Strange Tales From the Atomic Age’

It sounds like one of those dime-store paperbacks George McFly would have read in “Back to the Future.” But “Strange Tales From the Atomic Age” has a far more academic bent. Presented by Matthew Malinowski, the Atomic Museum’s director of education, the program will explore some of the hundreds of experiments and detonations at the Nevada Test Site. It’s scheduled for 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Clark County Museum, 1830 S. Boulder Highway in Henderson. Admission is free.

MUSIC

Zach Bryan

Of-the-moment country troubadour Zach Bryan recently said that when his current record deal is up he plans to cut a Jason Isbell covers album. Makes sense: Like that acclaimed Americana singer-songwriter, Bryan’s repertoire is rootsy, wistful, hard-driving and earnest all at once — albeit glossed with a contemporary country sheen. See him at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. Tickets start at $75; axs.com.

The Feast

Revelry, a weeklong global culinary festival at Wynn Las Vegas, concludes on Saturday with The Feast, which brings together star chefs, beverage tastings and four culinary “universes.” There’s the Casbah Marketplace with street performers and Mediterranean dishes. On the Road to Tulum, chefs prepare fresh heirloom corn tortillas and coastal Mexican dishes. Shibuya Crossing summons the buzzing Shibuya ward of Tokyo with street food, sushi, sashimi and other bites. Four Sixes Ranch, from “Yellowstone” producer Taylor Sheridan, serves up wood-fire rotisserie and barbecue dishes at its country cookout. Admission begins at 8 p.m. Tickets are $300; lasvegasrevelry.com.
