Other notable names participating include Boston College wide receiver Zay Flowers and USC running back Travis Dye. Prospect evaluation dominates the next three Februarys on the NFL calendar, and the East-West Shrine Game is the unofficial start of that stretch leading up to the 2023 NFL Draft on April 27 in Kansas City. 5:30 p.m., $26-$76, Allegiant Stadium, ticketmaster.com. –Case Keefer

MUSIC: SECRET AGENT & EL VEZ  If this is truly the age of maximalism—the age of “more is more”—then Mexico City band Secret Agent should be the one to provide its soundtrack. Secret Agent’s latest LP, last May’s Moros en la Costa, is a spacey, mysterious sonic adventure that ventures beyond psychedelic surf-rock instrumentals into 1960s-style sci-fi drama and slap bass-driven funk. If that’s not enough for you, the band is bringing guests on its West Coast tour, its first in four years: singer-songwriter Priscilla Escobar, and the “Mexican Elvis” El Vez, a rock-solid entertainer whose presence on the bill elevates this Golden Tiki show to a must-see. Rockabilly/surf trio Los Pakalolos and DJs Ane Uno and Rex Dart complete what’s sure to be a night of glorious excess. 9 p.m., free (table reservations recommended), the Golden Tiki, thegoldentiki.com. –Geoff Carter

The Isley Brothers

The Isley Brothers

MUSIC: LOVE AFFAIR CONCERT Jammin’ 105.7’s 19th annual Love Affair Concert gets classic this year, thanks to a headlining slot from The Isley Brothers, whose timeless R&B is never off the charts for long thanks to a never-ending stream of remakes and samples from multiple generations of appreciative artists. The latest impact is Beyoncé and Ron Isley’s new version of “Make Me Say It Again Girl,” originally released in 1975; the update continues to be layered with those instantly recognizable grooves that make the Isleys one of the most influential groups in the genre. Rounding out the Love Affair at the Orleans are more recent, romance-minded hitmaking acts Blackstreet, All-4-One, Color Me Badd, The Jets (an ’80s band that holds down a residency at V Theater at Planet Hollywood), Deniece Williams and Atlantic Starr. 7 p.m., $66-$182, Orleans Arena, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

Lil Baby

Lil Baby

PARTY: LIL BABY Even before his turn as the January 28 musical guest on Saturday Night Live, Atlanta’s Lil Baby was flying high after a hugely successful 2022. He tied with his frequent collaborator Drake for the most Billboard Hot 100 spots throughout the year, thanks to the October release of third studio album, It’s Only Me, which also made him the youngest solo artist ever to land an entire album on the chart. Baby’s return to Las Vegas also marks one of the biggest SunDrai’s concerts of the new year; after Roddy Ricch and 2 Chainz play the Cromwell’s rooftop club Friday and Saturday, respectively, the “Drip Too Hard” and “Wants and Needs” rapper takes over Sunday night. 10 p.m., $150-$200, Drai’s Nightclub, draisgroup.com. –Brock Radke

Kodō

Kodō

MISC: KODŌ  Kodō is set to demonstrate how well Reynolds Hall stands up to sustained, thunderous booming. The professional taiko drum company’s One Earth Tour—which was originally set to commemorate the troupe’s 40th anniversary in 2021 but was delayed by COVID—comes to Vegas with a production called Tsuzumi, named for the hourglass-shaped hand drum that you’re likely to see (and hear) during the program, along with many other chest-pounding rhythmic instruments. The program will feature two pieces by contemporary composer Maki Ishii—“Dyu-Ha,” which hasn’t been performed in North America since 1989, and the audience favorite “Monochrome.” The company will also perform several its signature pieces, including “O-daiko,” “Yatai-bayashi” and “Zoku.” Give in to the boom. 7:30 p.m., $29-$99, Reynolds Hall, thesmithcenter.com. –Geoff Carter
