SPORTS: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS VS. PITTSBURGH PENGUINS On November 28, Penguins defenseman Kris Letang suffered a stroke, the second of his NHL career. Some wondered if the 35-year-old, recently chosen among the top 100 players in modern NHL history by the Athletic, would return to the ice this season, or if his career might be over. Yet less than two weeks later, Letang was back on the blue line, once again teaming with longtime Pittsburgh teammates Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin to help the Penguins to a 3-1 win over Buffalo. Catch that Hall of Fame-bound trio, plus whichever Golden Knights players haven’t found their way onto this season’s injured list, when the two squads meet up, with Vegas looking to avenge a 4-3 loss back on December 1. 7 p.m., $25+, T-Mobile Arena, axs.com. –Spencer Patterson

PARTY: CALVIN HARRIS It’s not uncommon for the newest nightclub on the Las Vegas Strip to “steal” many of the biggest DJs in the game, and that certainly happened when Zouk arrived at Resorts World last year. In addition to stars like Tiësto and Zedd, it appeared as if recent Life Is Beautiful headliner Calvin Harris would slide over to the new spot too when he played a set at Zouk last fall. But the Scottish hitmaker shifted gears and returned to Wynn, where he had a residency roughly 10 yeas ago. Harris played for one night in September when in town for LIB, and now he’s back at XS for a Friday night CES week performance. Despite the ultra-chill vibes from his recent Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 2 collection, the smart money has Harris getting the party started in a big way. 10:30 p.m., $30-$100, XS Nightclub, wynnsocial.com. –Brock Radke

MISC: FISHNETS & SPOTLIGHTS: LIDO DE PARIS AT THE STARDUST Lido de Paris hit the Stardust Hotel and Casino in July 1958, the first full-scale French production in Las Vegas. The casino’s showroom was revamped for it with three elevators and an orchestra pit to replicate the effects used in the Paris productions. It ran for more than 20 years and ushered in the likes of Nouvelle Eve, Folies Bergere and Minsky’s Follies. The Weekly ranked it No. 15 in our 2016 list of Greatest Shows in Las Vegas History, explaining that the Lido “set a new standard in spectacle.” Now, Fishnets & Spotlights commemorates the 65th anniversary of the famed French production’s Vegas arrival by sharing its history and bringing in some of the earliest dancers. 2 p.m., free, thelibrarydistrict.com. -Evelyn Mateos

MISC: TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD “The one thing that doesn’t abide by majority rule is a person’s conscience,” Atticus Finch states in Harper Lee’s 1960 novel To Kill a Mockingbird. More memorable than even the child narrator, the noble attorney makes the remark while being tasked with defending a Black man against a white woman’s false accusation of rape. The role remains prominent in Aaron Sorkin’s 2018 Broadway adaptation, but in a different way than many might expect after years of required reading. “The audience comes into the theater, and probably 98% of them have seen the movie and there’s one Atticus in their head,” the playwright told Variety in November. “It takes about four minutes to make the audience forget about Gregory Peck and realize that they’re seeing a new piece and a new Atticus.” Though he added that adapting the well-known book for stage was a “suicide mission,” it appears to have paid off. In May, the Tony Award-winning production became the highest-grossing American play in Broadway history. Thru 1/15, times vary, $40-$140, Reynolds Hall, thesmithcenter.com. –Shannon Miller
