MISC: MICHAEL CARBONARO “To say I’ve been a fan of Penn & Teller my whole life is an understatement,” says Michael Carbonaro, the magical prankster who’s filling in for the legendary duo at the Rio through June as they tour Australia. “People always ask me if I’d ever go on their TV show Fool Us and try to fool them. I can now say with confidence that convincing them to trust me with the keys to their theater while they are away counts as fooling them big time.” Carbonaro is probably best known for the offbeat illusions he produces on TV’s The Carbonaro Effect, but this version of his touring Lies on Stage will bring plenty of new material to Las Vegas. “The goal is to sustain an electric buzz in the air where it’s truly unknown what is real and what is a trick,” he says. “This show is a special riff on my brand-new tour show, which has only had a limited number of shows thus far. For Vegas, I’m keeping it open to swap some things in and out and around each night and experiment. It keeps me on my toes, which is where I want to be.” Thursday-Sunday, 8 p.m., $59-$79, Penn & Teller Theater, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: REX ORANGE COUNTY Rex Orange County is about one month in touring for his fourth studio album Who Cares?. It’s the second album that the English singer-songwriter has released with RCA Records, and the second opportunity to collaborate with Tyler, the Creator, following “Boredom” from Tyler’s 2017 album, Flower Boy. Coming full circle, Tyler is featured on the Who Cares? single “Open a Window.” The new album is both sentimental and playful, in keeping with the musician’s previous work. It also pushes his repertoire forward with more pensive tracks like “Worth It” and “Shoot Me Down.” When you ask yourself, “Who cares?” Rex Orange County wants you to listen and know—he does. 8:30 p.m., the Theater at Virgin, $45-$130, axs.com. –Shannon Miller

PARTY: COI LERAY Ever since Light reopened last fall, it has been a magnet for hip-hop and R&B stars. Miguel, Summer Walker and Ludacris have all graced the nightclub’s stage, and now flourishing rapper Coi Leray will lead the charge for Memorial Day Weekend in her Las Vegas debut. The LA-based artist got her start in 2018 on Soundcloud, but that same year, she finessed her way onto a feature for the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse soundtrack. Leray has the makings of a major pop star (see her debut LP, Trendsetter), but she has also remained true to her foundation as a raw emcee. It’ll be fun to see what she brings to the stage. May 27, 10:30 p.m., $30-$40, Light Nightclub, thelightvegas.com. –Amber Sampson

PARTY: LIL JON In Las Vegas, Lil Jon is one of the Strip’s favorite DJs, bumping hip-hop hits and keeping the party raging. It’s easy to forget that he’s also a producer with a long list of smash songs and collaborations under his belt, as well as a rapper with sturdy live showmanship (as demonstrated earlier this month at the Lovers & Friends festival). But wait! He also makes people’s houses awesome. HGTV debuted Lil Jon Wants to Do What? on May 2, showing a different side of the cultural icon as he spearheads stylish residential renovations. Sometimes he’s turning a basement family room into a karaoke club; sometimes he’s creating a relaxing, resort-ish escape in a common backyard. Maybe you can beg him to fix your crib when he spins at Hakkasan Saturday (or at Wet Republic Monday to wind down Memorial Day weekend). 10:30 p.m., $20-$30+, Hakkasan Nightclub, events.taogroup.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: JACK WHITE The career CV of this former upholsterer is so packed, it almost reads like a King James Bible. “Jack White, who begat The White Stripes, The Raconteurs and The Dead Weather; who begat Third Man Records; who begat the preservation of the Detroit Masonic Temple, etc.” This year alone, Jack White has added several chapters to his story, dropping two new albums—April’s excellent Fear of the Dawn and Entering Heaven Alive, due in July—and marrying his girlfriend Olivia Jean Markel (to whom he proposed live onstage at the aforementioned Masonic Temple). The point is, you can never predict what anyone so consistently surprising and restlessly creative is gonna get up to from moment to moment, which is the best reason to see him onstage at the Chelsea. Will he debut new music? Announce his own space program? Impossible to say. But it’s worth checking out, even if White only delivers what is, for him, at bare minimum a killer set, packed with gloriously sludgy rockers. With Chicano Batman, 8 p.m., $55-$115, the Chelsea, ticketmaster.com. –Geoff Carter
