MGM Resorts is pulling out all the stops for VIVA!, a multi-day fiesta in honor of Mexican Independence Day. Now through Sept. 19, all 10 MGM properties in Las Vegas will host events and activities — including concerts, live comedy, happy hours, tequila tastings and food giveaways. Be sure to score a wristband for VIP entrance to exclusive VIVA events and access to the Ignite Lounge in Monte Carlo. For more information, see the VIVA! website.

The San Gennaro Feast is back at the Silverton, and will run through Sept. 19.

Each night, nationally known performers will take the main stage for a live show.

Don’t miss tonight’s traditional Italian procession starting at 7 p.m. Las Vegas Mayor Oscar Goodman and other officials will be on hand as Father Dave Casaleggio gives a blessing.

Admission is free for young children, $8 for seniors and $9 for adults. Visit the feast website for a coupon; for more information, call 702-227-0295.

Sample some of the best martinis in Henderson — if not in all of Southern Nevada — for half price each night from 5 to 7 p.m. at Hank’s. The swanky steakhouse inside Green Valley Ranch recently received a coveted AAA Four-Diamond award. If you miss out on the traditional happy hour, don’t worry. From 9 to 11 p.m. Sunday-Thursday Hank’s offers the same deal as part of its Reverse Happy Hour.

Nevada has an interesting history as a testing ground for all manner of secret government projects. Interesting enough to open up your wallet for a museum ticket? Maybe, maybe not, but no matter: The Atomic Testing Museum will offer free admission September 25 as part of Museum Day. Across the country, museums affiliated with the Smithsonian will grant free access on that date. In Vegas, the offer is good from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Don’t just show up, however, and expect no hassles. First you must register on the Smithsonian site.

Normally, Las Vegas locals wouldn’t have much reason to visit the aggressively high-end Shoppes at Mandalay Bay. But Hussong’s Cantina has changed all that. Every Thursday from 7 to 9 p.m., Hussong’s will serve up what has to be the best happy hour deal on the South Strip. For $3, locals will receive one taco, one Dos Equis beer and one Tres Agaves margarita or shot. The venue has a “rock and roll” mariachi band and already offers locals a 20 percent discount on menu items.
