Bocce, Bubbles and Burgers at Rao’s

The last time you cracked open a bottle of prosecco and showed off your bocce topspin was Bastille Day—so it’s been two weeks too long. Great timing, then, for this party at Rao’s, where you’ll kick off the long weekend with both of the above. Also: burgers. Because this is America.

WET ’N’ WILD

Wet Republic’s LDW11 Party

Mega-DJs drift in and out of Vegas, but this weekend they arrive en masse from the shores of... Ibiza. The onus is on you to choose your parties wisely, so start with a safe bet: Boris, Oscar G and a prime cabana at Wet Republic. This time you’re letting Ibiza come to you.

A Labor Day BBQ from David Myers

You appreciate the French’s straightforward approach to leisure (three-hour cappuccino breaks and three-week vacations), so celebrating Labor Day with picnic foods you’d find in Paris—like Provençale sausage—sort of makes sense. Sort of.

SEAN JOHN

Diddy at Palms LDW Pool Party

Puffy. P. Diddy. Sean “Puffy” Combs. Whatever you prefer to call him, the man of many monikers is playing the Palms Pool and Bungalows on Sunday. Hopefully he’ll be wearing his waterproof tuxedo.

A Daylong Music Fest at Mandalay Beach

Yes, this comes at the end of the long weekend. But try to conserve energy for the daylong Identity Festival, as you’ll be keeping up with bikini-clad pool partiers getting after it to the sounds of Kaskade, Pretty Lights and Afrojack. Also, others who use even more creative consonant substitutions.
