Barry Manilow at the Westgate.
Friday, Nov. 2, 2018 | 2 a.m.
Halloween is gone and the holiday season beckons. Take advantage of this weekend between the madness by taking in a concert spectacular on the Las Vegas Strip, or maybe check out a hip-hop pioneer in North Las Vegas.
BARRY MANILOW One of the many highlights of Manilow’s latest Vegas production is a thunderous performance of “Mandy” which sees him duet with himself — or the 1975 version of himself, when the song first broke as his first No. 1 hit. It’s just one of the fan favorites from this show at the Westgate International Theater and it’s back for six more shows this month before returning again in February. November 2-3, info at westgateresorts.com.
DIANA ROSS The age-defying icon from the Motown and disco eras returned to her new Strip home at Encore Theater on Halloween night and continues with two more shows this weekend and six more performances this month, sharing her classic hits and timeless style in an intimate environment. November 2-3, info at wynnlasvegas.com.
POSTMODERN JUKEBOX PMJ is known for tweaking modern pop hits using flavors from different vintage musical eras. The ever-changing collective drops into the Terry Fator Theatre at the Mirage for a special limited engagement this month, performing through November 11. This musical experience is never the same show twice. November 2-4, info at mirage.com.
GRANDMASTER FLASH A Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee with his original group the Furious Five, Grandmaster Flash is one of the godfathers of hip-hop and pioneered cutting, scratching and mixing, the fundamentals of being a DJ in any genre. The turntable wizard lands in Las Vegas for a show at the Cannery Saturday night. November 3, info at cannerycasino.com.
MAXWELL Pop-punkers Blink-182 pretty much own the Pearl this month but soul man extraordinaire Maxwell (“Ascension,” “Pretty Wings,” “Fortunate”) sneaks into the recently renovated Palms venue for smooth Sunday night session. November 4, info at palms.com.
