The $39 fee ($49 for VIP) includes a glass, tasting notebook and map. Get tickets at any Station Casinos Reward Center or online at sclv.com.
BBQ Cook-off & Festival
They’ll be smokin’ like crazy at the Jewish Community Center of Southern Nevada from noon to 4 p.m. Saturday during the fifth annual JCC BBQ Cook-off & Festival. Twenty teams will compete for barbecue dominance, and the event also will feature crafts, amusement rides and more. Tickets are $10 for seniors, $15 for other adults and $10 for children 17 and younger. The center is on the campus of Temple Beth Sholom, 10700 Havenwood Lane.

Harvest Spice Bee Invincible
Nothing against your pumpkin spice latte, but the Harvest Spice Bee Invincible may be just a little more healthful. It’s a blend of pumpkin puree, locally roasted organic espresso, coconut oil, raw agave, spices and grass-fed butter or ghee, and it’s available at The Juice Standard, which has three locations in the valley.
