MISC: SIN CITY WITCHES SOLSTICE PARTY Since prehistoric times, pagans have regarded the winter solstice—when Earth’s pole reaches the maximum tilt away from the sun—as a time of death giving way to new life. The Sin City Witches will keep the solstice party going through the longest night of the year, with live music, entertainment and dancing. The local group, which provides a self-described “inclusive” network for pagans, Wiccans and witches through social media and educational events, says all are welcome to enjoy the festivities. And of course, no dead-of-winter celebration would be complete without a solstice ritual, Yule tree lighting, and cash bar serving up holiday cocktails. 7 p.m. $15, Artifice, facebook.com/sincitywitches. –Shannon Miller

MUSIC: A-MEI Lady Gaga is still the reigning queen of pop music at the epic Dolby Live theater, but A-Mei is taking over for the holiday weekend. The 50-year-old Taiwanese Puyuma singer is one of the biggest stars in the Mandarin-speaking world, having sold more than 50 million records and set the mark for most wins as Best Female Artist in the Golden Melody awards. Like Gaga, A-Mei has used her music and platform to comment on social issues and advocate for equality and acceptance, and she has crossed cultural boundaries as an indigenous artist; her breakthrough 1996 single “Sisters” featured Puyuma chants. One of her biggest hits, “Rainbow,” is considered an LGBTQ anthem, just another of the pioneering efforts that have earned A-Mei the title of “Matriarch of Mandopop.” The Las Vegas Strip has long seen international artists visit during Christmas, and A-Mei’s two ASMR World Tour stops at Park MGM are a compelling addition to this tradition. 12/24-12/25, 8 p.m., $515+, Dolby Live, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

COMEDY: GABRIEL IGLESIAS Oh, the weather outside is fluffy. Since he exploded onto the comedy scene in the mid-aughts, pretty much every year has been an epic year for Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias. (The nickname is one of the comic’s stages of body weight, which for reference are “big,” “healthy,” “husky,” “fluffy,” “damn!” and “oh hell, no.” The author of this paragraph rates himself “husky.”) But the hard-working, LA-based comic’s 2022 has been, well, damn. On May 6 and 7, as part of the Netflix Is a Joke comedy festival, Iglesias became the first comic ever to play Dodger Stadium—and if that itself isn’t a big, fluffy deal, he sold out both shows, performing to more than 45,000 people each night. (The event was immortalized in a Netflix special, Stadium Fluffy.) But if you think he’s coming to Las Vegas to coast on his charm—to give anything less than one of his all-out hilarious, marathon-length shows—you better believe that’s a healthy “oh hell, no.” 12/27-12/30, 10 p.m., $60-$100, Mirage Theatre, mirage.mgmresorts.com. –Geoff Carter
