Disney Animation: Immersive Experience

MISC: DISNEY ANIMATION: IMMERSIVE EXPERIENCE Following its world premiere in Toronto in December, this touring exhibition, created by Lighthouse Immersive in collaboration with Walt Disney Animation Studios, has already visited major cities across the country this year leading up to its arrival on the Las Vegas Strip this week. Anyone who considers themselves any sort of Disney fan will need to visit the Lighthouse ArtSpace at the Shops at Crystals, formerly home of Immersive Van Gogh and Immersive Nutcracker: A Winter Miracle, to take in the brand’s iconic characters and stories displayed in projection and environmental installations, including responsive designs that move with the audience. From Encanto to Frozen to The Lion King, expect to interact with all your favorites in a new way. Thru 9/3, times vary, $46, Lighthouse ArtSpace, disneyimmersive.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: DEPECHE MODE  Dave Gahan and Martin Gore have been making music as Depeche Mode for nearly 43 years. They’ve had their personal and professional ups and downs, most recently the May 2022 death of their friend and bandmate Andy Fletcher. They’ve packed stadiums, secured a spot in the Rock and Roll of Fame and inspired an enormous legion of followers. (The “Influenced By” list of their AllMusic entry ends, modestly, at 84 bands.) They’ve more than earned the right to a valedictory lap, and even the title of their new LP, Memento Mori, suggests a clock that’s running down. Only problem with that theory is that Depeche Mode has arguably never looked back—has never played the ’80s nostalgia circuit or re-recorded old hits (looking at you, U2), and the group’s latest single, “Ghosts Again,” is as affecting and tuneful as any of their classic songs. Head to T-Mobile and catch up with Depeche Mode, still in progress. With Kelly Lee Owens. 7:30 p.m., $50+, T-Mobile Arena, axs.com. –Geoff Carter

PARTY: STEVE ANGELLO The revival continues. The Swedish House Mafia reunion residency at Wynn, which began in August at XS, has a date on the 2023 calendar, but it’s not until September 16. Whether or not the legendary dance music trio lands on the Strip before Labor Day, you can bet some of the group’s spectacular sounds will be booming at the iconic megaclub this weekend, when Steve Angello makes his solo return to Las Vegas. The 40-year-old, Athens-born DJ and producer recently released music with SHM mate Sebastian Ingrosso as Buy Now and arrives in town fresh from the Tomorrowland Winter festival in France. Angello is also working on his Size Records’ 20th anniversary celebration in May, so we’re somewhere in the middle of a new creative peak for this influential dance music artist. 10:30 p.m., $40-$60+, XS Nightclub, wynnsocial.com. –Brock Radke

Las Vegas Aviators vs. Oklahoma City Dodgers

SPORTS: LAS VEGAS AVIATORS VS. OKLAHOMA CITY DODGERS If you’re the sort of Aviators fan who can check off the team’s entire starting nine and/or discuss which Las Vegas players have the best chance for a call-up to the parent Oakland Athletics, full respect. For the rest of us, a new Triple-A season means a fresh chance to soak up 70s springtime temps, sip on tall beers and see how massive that pile of peanut shells by your feet can grow, while marveling that men can turn around 100-mile-per-hour pitches and send them 400 feet over 10-foot walls. And in a world where $250 concert tickets seem normal, you can do all that for less than $20 a seat. Thru April 9; Tuesday-Saturday,  7 p.m.; Sunday, noon; $13+, Las Vegas Ballpark, ticketmaster.com. –Spencer Patterson
