MUSIC: ARI LENNOX The slow-burn neo-soul of Ari Lennox’s “Shea Butter Baby” is a timeless entry in her R&B-tinged catalog, like the 2019 album of the same name. The track, which featured a verse from rapper J. Cole (who signed Lennox to his Dreamville Records label), landed on the motion picture soundtrack for Creed II and solidified what fans of her debut EP, Pho, already knew: Lennox was a bona fide star. The singer went on to tour with Cole and then Lizzo before making several solo appearances in Las Vegas, most recently at Day N Vegas (2021) and at the Soul Train Awards (2022). Now, as the 31-year-old Lennox prepares to kick off her Age/Sex/Location tour on the Strip, it could be your last chance to see the swaggering force in action, since she announced in December that this tour would be her last. Expect Lennox to make it memorable. 7 p.m., $40-$75, House of Blues, concerts.livenation.com. –Amber Sampson

COMEDY: SAM MORRIL Bill Maher is sliding over to MGM Grand. Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is taking his talents to the Cosmopolitan. As the Mirage begins its transformation, its Aces of Comedy performers are branching off to other Strip venues, but there are still plenty of laughs to be found until the conversion is complete, including a rare two-night visit from New York City stand-up Sam Morril. He just launched the new sports podcast Games With Names with former NFL star Julian Edelman and also appeared on That’s My Time with David Letterman on Netflix, but you’ll recognize him from those viral clips where he’s brutally taking down hecklers or his latest special, Same Time Tomorrow, in which he deftly and dryly holds up the mirror to the weirdness that is us. 1/27-1/28, 10 p.m., $51-$111, Mirage Theatre, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

FOOD & DRINK: WINTERFEST 3 p.m., Big Dog’s Brewing Company, bigdogsbrews.com.

MUSIC: SNAILS Don’t let the name fool you: Snails’ crushing, glitch-laden “vomitstep” is anything but sluggish. The Canadian producer introduced the subgenre on his 2017 debut album, The Shell, and it’s been blowing EDM fans’ hair back ever since. Influenced by the intensity of bands like Slayer and Metallica, Snails unleashes a barrage of arresting noise, from trap to dubstep to 808s and overblown bass notes. Swirl it all together and you get a uniquely danceable sound that’s tailor-made for the Portal at Area15. With more than 400 international performances under his belt, this snail shows no signs of slowing down. 9:30 p.m., $20-$23, Area15, area15.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: LUKE BRYAN During a performance in early December, Strip resident Luke Bryan shared his hopes that latest song “Country On” would become his 30th No. 1—and the lead single from his new project, expected later this year, did indeed reach the top of the chart. The track encourages some vital workers to keep going: “Hey, fireman, boys and girls in blue/We could sure use a lot more like you.” “That song just speaks to the hardworking Americans out there,” he told MusicRow magazine. “In my opinion, a lot of the people that I reference in that song make the world go around.” After a short break, Bryan is back at it himself, working hard onstage to share his catalog of hits. 8 p.m., Resorts World Theatre, ticketmaster.com. –Evelyn Mateos
