This week’s 5 best bets for music in Las Vegas

Hair Metal Awards

If hair metal makes your heart pound, head to the Casablanca Events Center at the Eastside Cannery on Sunday for the Vegas Rocks! Magazine Hair Metal Awards featuring Twisted Sister, Quiet Riot, Doro Pesch, Kip Winger, Stephen Pearcy, the Bullet Boys, Pretty Boy Floyd and more. Tickets are $19.95 to $32.95.

The Cure

We’re betting Thursday’s show at the Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas has been on countless calendars since it was announced. It features the Cure with the Twilight Sad. Tickets are $50 to $125, and the show’s at 7 p.m.

Iggy Azalea

SPF: sun, pool, fun. If you’re into those things, and dig Iggy Azalea, Alessia Cara, Lukas Graham, Fifth Harmony, Kygo and Mike Posner, head to the Boulevard Pool at The Cosmopolitan on Sunday for CBS Radio’s SPF. Tickets are $49 and the show’s at 6 p.m.

Tech N9ne

Tech N9ne’s latest tour is dubbed “Independent Powerhouse.” With a lineup that features members of his Strange Music family (Krizz Kaliko, Rittz, Mayday!, Stevie Stone and Ces Cru) with EKOH and Donnie Menace, the road show seems fittingly named. Tickets for Thursday’s show are $38. Doors open at 6 p.m.

B.o.B.

B.o.B. visits Vinyl at the Hard Rock Hotel on Sunday with Scotty ATL, London Jae and EKOH. Tickets for the show , which starts at 8 p.m., range from $15 to $35.
