Through January 30, various times, locations and prices, desertspace.org/film_festival.

GORGE

Wing Off Wednesday The top two finishers from this final round advance to Wing Bowl Las Vegas, where they’ll have a shot at $2,500. Not a speed-eater? You can still enjoy bottomless drafts for $20 or unlimited beer and wings for $25. January 26, 5-8 p.m., McFadden’s at the Rio.

EAT

Tim Tam Cookies Girl Scouts, watch out. Australia’s favorite treats have crossed the border. Eat the chocolate-covered delight the Aussie way: bite off the ends and suck milk through it like a straw. Available at Target.

BUY

Coachella Tickets Arcade Fire hasn’t played Vegas since 2005. The Chemical Brothers haven’t popped in since ’97. PJ Harvey? Broken Social Scene? Leftfield? Try never. And they’re just five of 160-plus acts on the 2011 festival poster. $269 plus fees, January 21, 10 a.m., ticketmaster.com.
