Bellagio leads best bets for entertainment in Las Vegas

MUSIC

Travis Scott

The title of Travis Scott’s blockbuster latest album, “Astroworld,” is a nod to a now-shuttered theme park of his youth. True to form, the of-the-moment rapper’s current tour in support of said record features a roller coaster as part of the show’s outsize production values. Strap yourself in at 8 p.m. Wednesday at T-Mobile Arena. Tickets are $39.95 to $129.95; call 702-692-1600.

ARTS & LEISURE

Lunar New Year

Hanging Chinese lanterns, 20-foot jade medallions and a family of pigs populate the Bellagio Conservatory’s Lunar New Year display.

MUSIC

Rock Like Queen

Odds are, you won’t be able to nail that breath-suckingly long note from Freddie Mercury’s “Ay-Oh” singalong at the end of “Radio Ga Ga” at Live Aid. But that shouldn’t stop you from wailing along to that and other Queen favorites aboard a double-decker bus in downtown Las Vegas. To promote the home video release of the Oscar-nominated “Bohemian Rhapsody,” the Rock Like Queen Bus Tour will let fans unleash their inner-Freddie for a half-hour of Mercury mania. The bus will board approximately every 30 minutes from 10 a.m. to 5:35 p.m. Tuesday at the intersection of Fremont and Sixth streets. Admission is free, but registration is required at rocklikequeen.com.

FOOD & DRINK

Comrade Day at CraftHaus

Crafthaus’ Comrade Imperial Stout will make its triumphant return to the brewery’s Henderson location, 7350 Eastgate Road, on Saturday. Oak aged over whiskey from the Las Vegas Distillery, the beer gets its name from the distillery’s late owner, longtime comrade and neighbor of Crafthaus George Racz. Eight variants will be on tap from 4 to 10 p.m. with food provided by Black Tiger BBQ.
