On Budget: Las Vegas for Less

Black Jetts

Hard-charging rockers the Black Jetts are one of Vegas' best bands but haven't been playing as much in recent years. This means you don't want to miss 'em at 10 p.m. today at the Double Down Saloon, 4640 Paradise Road. The show is free; call 791-5775.

Kishi Bashi

You may have seen violinist K Ishibashi as a touring member of Regina Spektor's band and Of Montreal. Now, see him in his own project, Kishi Bashi, at 8 p.m. Thursday through Sept. 1 at Chandelier at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, 3708 Las Vegas Blvd. South. There is no cover charge; call 698-7000.

Unplugging

See local and regional acts and singer-songwriters go "Unplugged," turning down the volume and turning up the intimacy, at 9 p.m. Wednesday at the Las Vegas Country Saloon, 425 Fremont St. There is no cover charge; call 382-3849.

Open mic

You think you're funny? Yeah, funny looking. Hey-oh! Now, that's funny. We're so good with the jokes that we're gonna head down to the open mic comedy nights at 9 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday at Meatheads, 1121 S. Decatur Blvd. There is no cover charge; call 429-1295.

Peelers
