Are you looking for something to do this weekend in Las Vegas? The options every weekend — every day, actually — are plentiful. Here are a few:

BRITNEY: PIECE OF ME Let’s run down Britney’s triumphant 2016: The pop princess received the Millennium Award at the Billboard Music Awards; she renewed her deal with RCA Records and released a successful ninth studio album, Glory; and she made a powerful return to the MTV Video Music Awards stage, the site of many of the most memorable moments of her career. What will she do next? Spears kicks off 2017 by resuming her residency at the Axis at Planet Hollywood this weekend. Jan. 13, 14, 18, 20, 21, 25, 27 and 28; tickets at 702-777-2782.

VAN MORRISON The prolific 71-year-old Irish singer and songwriter released his 41st album — who can keep track? — in September, Keep Me Singing, which notched an impressive No. 9-spot debut on the Billboard albums chart. You can catch a lot of his recent work and a lot of his hits Friday and Saturday at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a fittingly regal venue for Sir Ivan. Jan. 13 & 14; tickets at 866-227-5938.

THE CHAINSMOKERS The hitmaking DJ and producer duo of Andrew Taggart and Alex Pall have taken the dance music and pop radio worlds by storm, and recently parlayed that success into an exclusive three-year residency at the Strip’s party spots, XS Nightclub and Encore Beach Club. The Chainsmokers play their second show at XS at Encore Saturday night. Jan. 14; tickets at 702-770-0097.

THE FAB Looking for some free, loud fun? Dubbed “The ultimate Beatles music celebration,” the five men of the Fab have been continuing their in-depth sonic exploration of entire Beatles catalog since 1995. Their show is a perfect fit for the comfortable confines of Brooklyn Bowl at the Linq Promenade, and since Saturday night’s show is a free one, you’ll have extra cash for the brand-new In-N-Out Burger just beneath the concert hall. That’s pretty fab. Jan. 14; tickets at 702-862-2695..

MOTOWN THE MUSICAL When the weekend is over, look to the Smith Center for a bright and booming history lesson. The touring Broadway production of Motown The Musical recalls the life story of Berry Gordy and the arrival of other icons like Diana Ross, Marvin Gaye and Michael Jackson. Get ready for a rousing Reynolds Hall singalong with this one. Jan. 17-22; tickets at 702-749-2000.
