The Big Game isn’t until next week but there are several big stars on the Strip this weekend. Lady Gaga and Santana continue their residency shows but there’s much more music and comedy to sort through in the next three days.

VAN MORRISON He’s back at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace and Van Morrison’s recent concerts there have been so popular, he’s been forced to add additional shows to start the year. After this weekend, his classics and soulful originals will return for five more shows through February 9. January 25-26, info at thecolosseum.com.

BILLY IDOL Friday and Saturday are your last chances to catch punk icon Billy Idol’s new concert series at the Pearl Theater at the Palms until October, so act accordingly. January 25-26, info at palms.com.

ZZ TOP “That Little Ol’ Band From Texas” also launched its latest Vegas run at the Venetian Theatre last weekend and Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard are just getting warmed up. All the rock, blues and boogie you can handle await. January 25-26, info at venetian.com.

TIFFANY HADDISH One of the brightest stars of the Mirage’s Aces of Comedy Series is back in Las Vegas — she was here for the Pacquiao-Broner fight last weekend — for Friday and Saturday night shows at the Terry Fator Theatre after Boyz II Men. Catch the hilarious star of “Girls Trip” and “Night School” while you can. January 25-26, info at mirage.com.
