Six Picks: Ray Price, Snow Patrol, ice cream, water film, Avicii, Bubbles & Brunch

Ray Price

At 86, Ray Price has to be working on some kind of record with his annual stops at Boulder Station. Even after battling colon cancer a couple of years ago, Price can "Make the World Go Away" with his sturdy country-politan voice. He sings at 8 p.m. today at Boulder Station, 411 Boulder Highway. Tickets are $22-$48; call 800-745-3000.

Snow Patrol

Emotive Irish rockers Snow Patrol just want to give everybody a big bear hug, maybe have a little cry and discuss past episodes of "Grey's Anatomy." Not sure if the purchase of one of their concert tickets comes with a box of tissues, but it probably should. Get ready to dry those eyes at 9 p.m. Saturday at the Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, 3708 Las Vegas Blvd. South. Tickets are $35; call 698-7000.

'Last Call'

Most made-in-Vegas movies fit into the "What happens here ... " mold. But the documentary "Last Call at the Oasis" depicts a different side of Vegas: the parched side. Focusing on the global water crisis, the documentary (which opens today) includes a segment about Las Vegas - and Lake Mead's decreasing water level. Among the experts interviewed: Pat Mulroy, Southern Nevada Water Authority chief.

Avicii

Revered DJ-producer Avicii headlines Saturday at Marquee Dayclub in The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas, along with DJ-producer Glenn Morrison. If you can't make it to the Avicii/Morrison daytime gig at the salacious pool, you can catch them Saturday night, when they perform inside Marquee nightclub.
