Your 5 best bets for entertainment in the week ahead
Bo Burnham
Bo Burnham has done jokes about Guy Fieri and Jerry Seinfeld before he even got to Las Vegas. But you hope that's what YouTube's breakout comedian would do with his outside-in look on life and culture and his anything-goes approach to stand-up and musical parody. See him at 8 p.m. Saturday at the Hard Rock Hotel. Tickets are $49.50-$100; call 888-929-7849.
The Orchestra
The Orchestra? Pretty generic handle, so here's an old people's guide: It's people who aren't Jeff Lynne but who played in ELO, which was originally Electric Light Orchestra. Legalities stuck them with the boring name, but ELO vets Mik Kaminiski and Louis Clark are in the band playing the hits at 8 p.m. Friday at the Golden Nugget. Tickets are $36.56-$145.56; call 866-946-5336.
'Rock of Ages'
Hey party bros, be the first on your block to christen the new Bourbon Room with, you know, some wine coolers or something. The campy '80s musical "Rock of Ages" settled into its cozy new home at the Rio this week. Tickets are $59-$149 for shows at 7:30 pm. daily (except Thursday, an invite-only media night); call 702-777-2782.
The Rippingtons
The Rippingtons' latest album is called "Fountain of Youth" and maybe they found it. The contemporary jazz outfit fronted by ageless guitarist Russ Freeman has visited Las Vegas throughout its 25 years, so maybe they keep us young too. See them at 8 p.m. Saturday at Aliante Casino. Tickets are $49.38-$95.16; call 702-692-7777.
Elton John
You won't begrudge Elton John his "Million Dollar Piano" once reminded of the songs that paid for it. The eternal troubadour focuses on his prime '70s hits at 7:30 p.m. Friday, Saturday and Sunday at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. Tickets are $55-$500; call 888-929-7849.
