ARTS: JULIAN EUSEBIO: BREATHING LIFE If art is a temporary escape, Julian Eusebio’s exhibit, Breathing Life, succeeds as a welcome vacation. The native of the Philippines laid his roots down in Las Vegas back in the early ’90s, but in his latest show, he fetches the warmth and vibrancy of island land and unveils it through more than 30 works of original art, depicting city streets and animals from his homeland.
Eusebio has worn many hats, including comic book illustrator and advertising art director, but as a newly retired painter, he’s reinvesting in the quiet and colorful. This marks your last chance to catch these pieces in a naturally lit beauty like Priscilla Fowler Fine Art Gallery. You won’t regret the trip.

The screening is part of a fundraising event for Awareness is Prevention (AIP), an organization dedicated to battling human trafficking. 5 p.m., $30.

MUSIC: STYX & NANCY WILSON Fifty-year-old classic rock outfit Styx has been happily returning to Vegas venues to thrill die-hard fans for years now, including some memorable 2019 shows at the Palms playing the 2017 album The Mission live in its entirety for the first time. This month’s comeback at the Venetian takes things in an exciting new direction: Not only does Styx have new album Crash of the Crown to draw from, the band will also be joined by Heart guitarist and sometime singer Nancy Wilson for all five Vegas shows. Expect to see the two acts playing together and digging into their individual catalogs. Where else can you get “These Dreams” and “Renegade” on the same night? January 28-29, February 2, 4-5, 8 p.m., $55-$172, Venetian Theatre, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

COMEDY: FAILED TO RENDER If we’re all fated to live out the rest of our lives in a Metaverse while the real world succumbs to a slow-motion doomsday, the least we can do is have a good laugh about it. Failed to Render is a comedy showcase set both in the universe we know and love and also “in the virtual realm.” What that means is that you can either watch Drew Marks, Cory “Showtime” Robinson, Tommy Sinbazo and Matten Stewart from a chair close (but not too close) to the StarBase stage, or you can clap on a pair of VR goggles and watch it remotely. If you go in person, you can also enjoy the LaughterDARK comedy show, immediately afterward. 8 p.m. $10-$15. StarBase, eventbrite.com. –Geoff Carter

He’ll launch the gig Saturday with support from DJ Shaun, Dollar$ and Flashgang, and dance music fans can expect more Dirtybird collaborators and a range of funky electronica throughout the year. 10 p.m., $50, Discopussy, discopussydtlv.com. –Brock Radke
