I highly recommend checking the community calendar for inspiration: https://www.lincoln.org/events/
This doesn't work for this week, but NWU starts its theatrical season on Sept. 18. Dinner and a play always strikes me as classier than dinner and a movie. https://www.nebrwesleyan.edu/theatre/current-season
This doesn't work for night time, but if you're HGTV fans, finding open houses is fun and a good way to figure out people's tastes and priorities. There's a bunch tomorrow. https://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-search/68522/show-open-house
Otherwise, Paint Yourself Silly is always fun and pleasantly air conditioned.

Was gonna add this as well. The best “experiential dining” place. I’m addicted to it

Barrymore’s to kick it off in an interesting space, then a block over to Dish for Dinner and finally to the Sitch for some more drinks if you like or back home for dessert. 😉

Dinner at Aragon (11th/Q) for steaks or burgers then fancy cocktails or NA drinks at The Sitch (11th/O).

Blue Orchid for dinner, The Other Room for drinks, the Lincoln Symphony or any cool events at the Lied Center. All of that in one night is a little pricey, but not excessively so for a lovely evening.

Dancing or entertainment of your choosing afterwards. Breakfast in the morning.

Rodizio Grill Brazilian Steakhouse
While its not required, you will not feel out of place here for dressing nice.
Servers stop by your table throughout your dining experience to offer various meat and seafood. While it is not required that you take everything offered to you, sometimes it is tempting.
There is also an open salad bar that you'll want to visit at least once to retrieve whatever veggies and sides prior to the servers stopping by with their proteins.
This meal is an experience, but the good news is that the servers are never overbearing even with them stopping at your table every couple of minutes to offer you something different.
There is also a wooden stopper that is included on your table so that you can control when the servers stop by with food. If you either want to finish the food that already in front of you, just want to talk to your date for a little while, or have decided that you are finished, you can flip the wooden symbol to reflect your intention.
The host will still come by to refill your drinks and help you with anything else during your down time.
Typically this is a favorite date spot for us, and I am always taken here for my birthday. I love the fact that it feels fancy without feeling stuffy.
Bill usually comes out to be about $150 after tip for 2 people if that helps. (May be more if alcohol and/or dessert is ordered).
