MISC: ILLUMINARIUM GRAND OPENING Late last year, the Weekly suggested checking out Illuminarium, a sensory experience that transports viewers to faraway lands. Area15’s latest attraction has finally opened, and our recommendation stands. Guests can take a trip across the galaxy, see the savanna’s sunrise and exotic animals or Georgia O’Keeffe’s beloved floral stills come to life. It can even be your new nightlife experience, as Illuminarium After Dark offers an adults-only immersive escape with cocktails and small plates. The thrills are achieved through 4K laser projection, 360-degree audio, in-floor vibrations and scent systems. Be one of the first to experience the latest Vegas getaway. Hours and prices vary, illuminarium.com/lasvegas. –Evelyn Mateos

ARTS: PHOTOGRAPHY RECEPTION: JANA CRUDER. HerStory, a fine art photographic series by LA-based mixed-medium artist Jana Cruder, is two things on its face: a return to Las Vegas by Cruder, who formerly had an Arts District gallery space, and a splendid feast for the eyes. Once you’re past that, however, the plot thickens. According to the show catalog, this series of “candy colored” 1970s-style tableaus are “a look into the complexities of feminism, the tiresome and callow demands of the patriarchy and the aftershock of relentless cultural programming”—a series that nods, in passing, to the storytelling photography of Cindy Sherman, Nan Goldin and to Cruder’s own Barbie-inspired show from 2012, Great Expectations. Characters in the photos stuff money into mattresses, coolly leaf through protest manifestos and wield picket signs that say “Respect existence or expect resistance.” Artist reception 5-9 p.m. April 21; show runs through May 6,free.

MUSIC: JOHN LEGEND For all the Grammys he’s won and the EGOT status he currently holds, John Legend bloomed in the shadows of some of music’s greatest talents. Lauryn Hill’s “Everything Is Everything” off The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill would star the singer-songwriter on piano. And Alicia Keys’ breakout single “You Don’t Know My Name,” followed by Jay Z’s “Encore” both featured Legend’s lush vocals. The R&B crooner with the impeccable taste in suits loves to share these fun facts at his shows. It’s a gentle reminder that passion sustains you, even if you haven’t truly made it yet. Legend, who grew up singing in his Springfield, Ohio, church choir, went on to release the Billboard 200 chart-topper Get Lifted in 2004, and the rest, as they say, is legendary. Now as the star brings his Love in Las Vegas residency to Planet Hollywood, he’ll have seven studio albums and nearly 20 years of music from which to pluck. What’s not to love? April 22-23 & 27, 8 p.m., $75-$400, Zappos Theater, ticketmaster.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: B. ROSE As spring blooms around the Valley, what better way to enjoy it than with a sunny walk in the park and a show? The Historic Westside Legacy Park continues its spring concert series this weekend with a performance by local soul sister and R&B singer B. Rose. The Las Vegas Academy grad who studied at Boston’s Berklee College of Music and performed at 2016’s Life Is Beautiful festival has been a fixture of the local music scene for around eight years, and recently released her new EP Closer To Me. Soak it in as you’re soaking up some rays on this chill afternoon. April 23, 2 p.m., free, 1600 Mount Mariah Dr. –Amber Sampson

MISC: BOOK SIGNING: A GANGSTER’S PARADISE Our mob history is extensive. One could easily spend a day or two inside the Mob Museum learning about organized crime in Las Vegas. But did you know that Saratoga Springs, New York was considered a “gangster’s paradise” in the first half of the 20th century? Retired Saratoga Springs Police Chief Greg Veitch talks about the gunmen and gamblers that had the run of the town at a time when police and public officials looked the other way in his book A Gangster’s Paradise—Saratoga Springs from Prohibition to Kefauver. Have the author sign your copy this weekend in the museum’s Rise of the Cartels exhibit. 1 p.m., free admission, the Mob Museum, themobmuseum.org. –Evelyn Mateos

MUSIC: HAIM Haim kicks off its North American tour in Las Vegas with a lot to unpack. It’s the sisters’ first tour since the pandemic, during which they released their third studio album Women in Music Pt. III. Five of the album’s singles were made into music videos by director Paul Thomas Anderson, whose Oscar-nominated film Licorice Pizza recently thrust Alana Haim into the Hollywood limelight for her starring role. In March, the band released the single “Lost Track,” turning heads with yet another Anderson-directed video. In it, a twinkling music box and chimes play over a debutante ball scene with a disillusioned Danielle Haim stomping and singing in the outskirts. Coming off all the cinematic glitter, fans can get up close at the band’s first ticketed live show since Licorice Pizza and the new single were released. 8 p.m., $40-500, The Chelsea, cosmopolitanlasvegas.com. –Shannon Miller

SPORTS: LAS VEGAS AVIATORS VS. TACOMA RAINIERS While you were busy Twitter-feuding with Oakland Mayor Libby Schaaf about whether Las Vegas is too gross to steal her city’s Major League Baseball team, the Aviators were splitting a season-opening series with the Reno Aces at the decidedly ungross Las Vegas Ballpark in Downtown Summerlin. Sure, we can probably accommodate the Athletics in a few years, but once you’ve spent some time at our existing baseball team’s facility, established in 2019, you might not see the need for the big leagues; it’s been voted as the AAA Best of the Ballparks favorite for two of its three years. Go see for yourself when the Aviators assume their Reyes de Plata identity for the special Copa de la Diversión game and open a six-game series against Tacoma. 7:05 p.m., $13-$50+, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke
