AROUND LAS VEGAS

Donny & Marie
Donny & Marie Osmond, America’s most-loved brother-sister performers, will share five decades of entertaining in a 90-minute show of live music, singing and dancing at Flamingo Las Vegas. Check out the details of their high-energy show, which will include many of their chart-topping hits.

Machine Guns Vegas
Sure, maybe your town has an indoor gun range. But it’s probably not one described as an “ultra-lounge” with fully automatic machine guns and “legendary Gun Girls.” Only in Las Vegas.

Pinball Hall of Fame
First stop after the Pit & Quarry Hall of Fame: the Pinball Hall of Fame. For pinball wizards — and any mere mortal who grew up in the 1950s-1990s — this 10,000-square-foot warehouse packs wall-to-wall fun in the form of playable machines. Better yet: Admission is free, in case you’ve already lost a chunk of change on the slots.

Blue Collar Comedy
It may not be the whole gang, but seeing half of the Blue Collar Comedy Tour’s most raucous acts is better than none. First catch Bill Engvall on Friday then hit Ron White’s show on Saturday. Get show times and locations.
