Your 5 best bets for Vegas entertainment in the week ahead
Nicole Byer
Time it right or use your DVR, and you might be able to see Nicole Byer of MTV’s “Girl Code” fame both onstage and in her new Fox late-night sketch-comedy show, “Party Over Here,” on Saturday. The live stand-up teams her with Sarah Colonna at 9:30 p.m. in the Sands Showroom at The Venetian. Tickets are $39.50-$59.50; call 702-414-9000.
Elton John
Elton John’s classics don’t leave much room in a set for new stuff. But he does have a new album, “Wonderful Crazy Night,” recorded with many of the band members who back him at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace. He returns at 7:30 p.m. Saturday, Sunday and Tuesday. Tickets are $55-$500; call 888-929-7849.
Toscha Comeaux
You don’t have to miss one of the few good things about “Viva Elvis.” Toscha Comeaux stuck around after that show closed and now turns her soulful jazz and blues vocals to the songbook of Sarah Vaughan at 7:30 p.m. Saturday at the Baobab Stage Theatre at Town Square, 6587 Las Vegas Blvd. South. Tickets are $15; call 702-202-8010.
Richard Marx
“I just never did the stuff you were supposed to do to become a celebrity,” Richard Marx told us a few years ago. “So the songs became celebrities.” The ’80s balladeer will reintroduce favorites such as “Right Here Waiting” at 8 p.m. Friday at the Golden Nugget. Tickets are $47.46-$167.36; call 866-946-5336.
