On Sunday, “Atomic Saloon Show” celebrated three years of outrageous performances at the Grand Canal Shoppes at Venetian, kicking off the evening by cutting a cake before the show as NSYNC’s Joey Fatone looked on from the audience. Also marking the anniversary is the new docuseries “Kickin’ Ass: The Untold Story of the Atomic Saloon Show,” produced by Spiegelworld, which follows the wild west-themed comedy-variety show’s journey from the Edinburgh Festival Fringe to the Las Vegas Strip. New chapters of the series will be available starting this week at spiegelworld.com/news/kickin-ass.
The Event, the charitable gala and megaconcert hosted by the Shaquille O’Neal Foundation and Pepsi Stronger Together at MGM Grand Garden Arena on Oct. 1, has added Pitbull and H.E.R. to an already stellar lineup of performers including Maroon 5, Maren Morris and John Mulaney. O’Neal’s foundation focuses on serving children’s charities in Las Vegas and Atlanta, and proceeds from the Event will benefit the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southern Nevada and Communities in Schools Nevada. Tickets, tables and more information can be found at shaqfoundation.org.
Two of the Las Vegas Strip’s longest-running and straight-up best resident headliners have expanded their shows with new dates in 2023.

The award-winning artist will return for his next “Love in Las Vegas” concerts Oct. 14-21.
Human Nature, currently performing at the South Point Showroom, was already scheduled for more Vegas shows in October and November, and now the trio will return in December for a special “Christmas Motown and More” engagement, Dec. 20-23.
