5 events to check out in Las Vegas next week

Stellar Awards

Sin City's gonna have to live up to its name somewhere besides The Orleans. The Stellar Awards are back in town to honor the best in gospel music. Saturday's awards show in Orleans Arena (later to air on TV One and in broadcast syndication) starts at 6 p.m. and includes gospel luminaries Yolanda Adams and Kirk Franklin, as well as current nominees such as Anthony Brown. Tickets are $45-$200; call 702-284-7777.

Slaughter and Great White

Slaughter, the Las Vegas rockers who broke big in 1990, have come home enough lately that it's less like nostalgia and more like hanging out with old friends. The band teams up with frequent tourmates Great White for an 8 p.m. show Saturday in the Eastside Events Center at the Eastside Cannery. Tickets are $21.45-$37.17; call 800-745-3000.

Ray Romano and David Spade

Ray Romano and David Spade are guaranteed eternal afterlife if you combine their sitcom reruns, but you can see them live and together at 10 p.m. Friday and Saturday at The Mirage. Tickets are $87.19-$119.89; call 702-792-7777.

Joe Williams Scholarship Concert

Keep campus life swingin'. Support College of Southern Nevada music scholarships with the toe-tapping Joe Williams Scholarship Concert at 2 p.m. Saturday. Guest singers Reva Rice, Ronnie Rose and Niki Scalera join the school's big band and jazz singers in the Nicholas Horn Theatre on the Cheyenne campus, 3200 E. Cheyenne Ave. Tickets are $15; call 702-651-5483.

Celine Dion

Tuesday could be an emotional show for Celine Dion, her first back in the Colosseum at Caesars Palace since her husband and career-long manager, Rene Angelil, died last month. Fans can send up good vibrations in shows at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday and Wednesday. Tickets are $55-$250; call 877-423-5463.
