PARTY: JOHN SUMMIT Vegas party people are used to dancing along with Chicago native John Summit’s house sets at EDC and at Marquee Nightclub and Dayclub at the Cosmopolitan. Now we get to celebrate the grand opening of the wildly anticipated LIV at Fontainebleau with Summit, recently announced as the club’s first resident artist. Maybe the 29-year-old DJ and producer will give us a glimpse of the follow-up track to “Where You Are,” his smash collaboration with British singer and songwriter Hayla; Summit recently teased that the match-made-in-heaven duo has been spending time in the studio again. 10:30 p.m., $30-$50+, LIV Nightclub, livnightclub.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: DESERT HONEY POT The future of femme shines bright with this celebrated local showcase of female-fronted bands. Desert Honey Pot, helmed by Mojave Sun frontwoman Mariah Baldwin, has become something of a rite of passage for women in the Las Vegas music scene lately. For its last show of the year, it’s assembling an Avengers-level tier of talent that includes Baldwin’s own band, rising groove rock outfit Kewk, psychedelic surf jammers Viaje Nahual, Elevated Undergrounds (a grungy alternative quintet led by vocalist and former ballet dancer Gabbi Fisher), and an acoustic set by Las Vegas’ Teddi Mercury. This set runs the gamut of genres and will showcase some of the best lady musicians in the game right now. Desert Honey Pot also offers a holiday donation drive to benefit the Embracing Project, a nonprofit that provides services and support for young survivors of sexual violence, exploitation and trafficking. Bring an unwrapped gift and any makeup, hair products, hair tools, feminine hygiene products, socks, scarves or other items that might be helpful for these folks during the season. 8 p.m., $15, Backstage Bar & Billiards, backstagebarlv.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: TOMMY AND THE COMMIES Local promoter group Dirty Rock & Roll Dance Party is shaping up a promising night for alt music enthusiasts looking for a unique sonic palette this Sunday. Ontario based power-pop punk trio Tommy and the Commies will be making their Vegas debut at Red Dwarf. In true punk fashion, their tracks are short but certainly blend the spirit and sound of ’70s mod with the vigor that extracts reaction from any audience. Reno-bred garage punk group Thee Saturday Knights will be sharing the stage and blasting through with raw vocalization, distorted instrumentation and unapologetic energy. And homegrown garage rock from Cromm Fallon & the P200 will be opening the night with impressively fuzzed-out melodies, brash drummage and Fallon’s controlled croon. 9 p.m., free, Red Dwarf, eventbrite.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez
