Yuridia

Yuridia

MUSIC: YURIDIA Yuridia, a beloved Mexican pop icon, has entered a new era. After finishing second place on the fourth season of Mexican reality show La Academia in 2005, she released six albums focused mostly on pop. Now, she’s pushed her powerful, husky voice to Mexican ranchera music on latest album Pa’ Luego Es Tarde, released in October. “Many people had asked me about recording an album of rancheras, but I kept postponing, because I was busy struggling to make it in pop,” the singer told Apple Music. Yuridia partnered with Edén Muñoz, a well-known singer, songwriter and producer of regional Mexican music to create her latest project, which combines heart wrenching numbers like “¿Con Qué Se Pega un Corazón?” with exuberant bolero norteño cuts like “Te Dejo.” For one night, she’ll fill the House of Blues with everything she’s got. 7 p.m., $59-$149, House of Blues, concerts.livenation.com. –Evelyn Mateos

COMEDY: ADAM SANDLER No matter how many dramatic roles he takes on—from an anxiety-inducing turn in Uncut Gems all the way back to 2002’s Paul Thomas Anderson piece Punch-Drunk Love, currently waiting for a rewatch on Hulu—Adam Sandler always comes back to the guitar-strumming goofball you know (and possibly love) when he returns to live stand-up comedy. He’s been doing that a lot in recent years at the Cosmopolitan, cracking slightly more grown-up dirty jokes and singing silly songs to packed houses at the Chelsea. Whether or not you’re a fan, you have to admit Sandler is a rare performer in that way, a comedian who returns to his roots after dabbling in drama, family entertainment and more. So even though he’s generating some Oscar buzz for this year’s feel-good basketball film Hustle, it’s a safe bet “The Chanukah Song” will still make the cut for this weekend’s shows on the Strip. December 9-10, 8 p.m., $150-$300, the Chelsea, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

MISC: ESPORTS AWARDS It’s been a wild year for competitive video gaming. Since the return of in-person esports events, pro players have emerged with a renewed sense of love for the game. The underground Los Angeles Thieves fought relentlessly to clutch their first Call of Duty League championship against the Atlanta FaZe Clan in August. And in November, Dallas Fuel, a veteran Overwatch League team, topped the San Francisco Shock in one of the tensest finales ever. Both teams walked away with more than $1 million in winnings, but they’ll truly celebrate at the Esports Awards. The prestigious black-tie event, which makes its Las Vegas debut at Resorts World Theatre this year, recognizes the who’s who of the industry, from team owners and players to sportscasters and content creators. If you’ve spent any time rooting for your favorite streamer, here’s a rare chance to catch them up close and offline. 8 p.m., $50, Resorts World Theatre, esportsawards.com. –Amber Sampson
