Jauz at Intrigue
The 24-year-old DJ and producer is known more for trap and dubstep than a deep house sound, but he appreciates all genres and the way his Vegas club home is moving in different sonic directions. “It’s cool for Wynn, which has the biggest DJs in the world, to be working so far from the center and pushing something completely new and untouched in the Vegas scene.” 10:30 p.m., $25-$45. –Brock Radke

Director's Cut at Eclipse Theaters
More than two years after its premiere at the Slamdance Film Festival (and nearly that long since it showed at the Las Vegas Film Festival in 2016), Penn Jillette’s oddball horror comedy is finally getting a wide release. Written by Jillette, it’s both a crowdfunded movie and a satire on crowdfunding, starring Jillette as unhinged weirdo Herbert Blount, who uses his crowdfund reward access to a low-budget thriller to harass and ultimately kidnap star Missi Pyle (playing herself).
The movie is presented as a hybrid of that generic thriller (titled Knocked Off and shot in the polished, anonymous style of direct-to-video filler) and Blount’s rough, homemade “original” footage, along with a voiceover “director’s commentary” by Blount. It’s self-referential in the extreme, tied together by veteran B-movie director Adam Rifkin (who also plays himself as the director of Knocked Off), with cameos and supporting performances from Harry Hamlin, Gilbert Gottfried and Jillette’s magic partner, Teller. Jillette will be in attendance for a Q&A at the Vegas showing, and the movie will be available on VOD May 29. May 16, 8 p.m., $16. –Josh Bell
