Sofar Sounds

Secret location!

What if we said you could enjoy a live event in the comfort of a living room? Sofar Sounds infuses intimacy into its live shows with three acts playing in the comfort of everyday spaces. How it works: It’s a lottery. Only a handful of guests are selected (it’s a secret gig, remember), which means no headliners, no jam-packed crowds, no clue as to who’s playing until the day of. Interested yet? Sign up online; if you’re chosen, you’ll be told where to go. October 5, 7:30p, $15, sofarsounds.com

Disgusting Food Museum

Mandalay Bay

You’ll need a strong stomach for this one. Stroll through the Disgusting Food Museum (part of the Global Food & Beverage Expo), with roasted guinea pig, maggot-infested cheese, and natto (fermented soybeans, below) as your main entrées. It invites curious eaters to challenge the idea of what is considered edible and what isn’t. Step out of your taste-bud comfort zone!  October 8-10, $10, gfba.vegas/disgustingfoodmuseum
