Things to do this week in Las Vegas

MUSIC

‘311 Day’

Saluting the day on the calendar that bears their name, these reggae-rock-hip-hop hybridists bring their “311 Day” festivities back to Vegas for the fourth time. They’ve celebrated the occasion with marathon concerts that have spanned 40 songs and three-plus hours. That’s a whole lotta rap-rockin’, chief. See them at 8:30 p.m. Wednesday through March 13 at the Park Theater at Park MGM. Tickets start at $199.50; call 800-745-3000.
