Robbie Williams
Did you know that British pop prime mover Robbie Williams is so big into aliens that he once came to Nevada to attend a UFO convention? Whether or not you believe in extraterrestrial life-forms, here’s something you can’t debate: Williams’ first residency — which kicks off at 8 p.m. Wednesday at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas, with shows through March 16 — is a big deal in a (relatively) small room. Tickets are $59.50 to $250; call 702-770-9966.
