SPORTS

CONCACAF Nations League Finals

Whether you know it as soccer or football, it’s one of the sport’s great rivalries. The United States takes on Mexico in the semifinals of the 2022/23 CONCACAF Nations League Finals. That follows Canada vs. Panama in the other semifinal, with the winners meeting for the title. The action starts at 4 p.m. June 15 with the finals at 5 p.m. June 18 at Allegiant Stadium.

PHOTOGRAPHY

Neon Museum Photo Walk

It’s a rare chance to photograph history. Not with your phone, but with multiple cameras, extra lenses and tripods — everything that’s forbidden during regular tours of the Neon Museum’s Boneyard. Photos taken during the After Hours Photo Walk, scheduled for 11:45 p.m. June 14, are for personal use only. Tickets are $75; neonmuseum.org.

Robert Plant and Alison Krauss

“Raise the Roof” when titans of song Robert Plant and Alison Krauss hit town in support of their aforementioned second collaborative album, in which the two explore rootsy Americana, country, bluegrass and folk, voices intertwined like fingers on a pair of clasped hands. See them at 7 p.m. June 14 at The Pearl at the Palms. Resale tickets available at ticketmaster.com.
