Top 10 things to do in Las Vegas this week

Coldplay

If you see an odd-looking gent wearing an ill-fitting suit while hauling balloons up and down Las Vegas Boulevard this weekend, take a good look. That’s how Chris Martin spent his downtime after performing at September’s iHeartRadio Music Festival. The disguised Coldplay frontman crashed a couple’s wedding photos at the Little White Wedding Chapel and sang karaoke at Dino’s Lounge. Coldplay brings its “Music of the Spheres” world tour to Allegiant Stadium at 6 p.m. Friday and Saturday. Tickets are available on resale sites.

MUSIC

Tyler Childers

Outlaw country is a genre synonymous with the ’70s. While Tyler Childers mines that era with his alternately tough-nosed and tender honky-tonk, his is not a throwback sound, but rather a forward-looking take on a rich past. See him at 8 p.m. Saturday at the MGM Grand Garden. Tickets start at $63; mgmgrand.mgmresorts.com.

THEATER

‘Parade’

Of all the shows in the 2024-25 Broadway Las Vegas Series, there’s one Myron Martin, The Smith Center’s president and CEO, can’t stop talking about. “It is rare to experience a production so powerful and emotional,” Martin says in a post on the venue’s website. He’s talking about “Parade.” The winner of the 2023 Tony Award for best revival of a musical is based on the sensational news accounts of Leo Frank, a Jewish factory superintendent in Georgia who was accused of killing an employee, 13-year-old Mary Phagan, in 1913. See it at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday through June 12, with additional performances through June 15, in Reynolds Hall. Tickets start at $34.50; thesmithcenter.com.
