SPORTS: VEGAS GOLDEN KNIGHTS VS. FLORIDA PANTHERS 7 p.m., T-Mobile Arena, axs.com.

MISC: FILM: MAY DECEMBER How have you not seen this movie yet? Forget the fact that it’s ready and waiting on Netflix—it stars two of our greatest, Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, in a twisty tale loosely based on the scandalous story of teacher Mary Kay Letourneau, and it’s directed by Todd Haynes. At times it feels trashy and soap-opera dramatic; other scenes bring a lingering, unsettling intensity that will have you questioning what kind of film this is. But it never stops being provocative and watching Portman and Moore fold their characters into and on top of each other is a unique phenomenon. May December deserves a bigger screen than your TV or laptop, so catch it at the Beverly while you can. 7 p.m., $10, Beverly Theater, thebeverlytheater.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: LUKE BRYAN “Somehow I survived in Las Vegas, didn’t lose too much money gambling and got my golf game a little better,” two-time CMA Artist of the Year Luke Bryan tells the Weekly regarding his Resorts World Theatre residency, launched in February 2022 and wrapping up nice and tidy this weekend. “The main thing for me was meeting up with friends, going to great restaurants, playing some great golf and trying to hold my own in the entertainment capital of the world, and I’ve been really proud to be able to do so.” If it sounds like Bryan just rolled into town and threw some great country music parties every so often, that’s pretty much what happened. He says he learned a thing or two along the way, like how to create more intimate moments in big spaces, but having fun is a requirement for this singer and his audience. “I always wanted people to know how much I love to have fun onstage, and certainly the Vegas show is an extension of that. I want people to leave going, ‘Man, he looked like he was having the most fun in the room.’” 8 p.m., & 1/6, $40-$435, Resorts World Theatre, axs.com. –Brock Radke

COMEDY: ROCKY DALE DAVIS Southern gents can’t hold a candle to Brookwood, Alabama comic Rocky Dale Davis. The out-and-proud redneck, now based in Las Vegas, is an unapologetic, foul-mouthed treasure when it comes to standup. Whether he’s joking about praying his girlfriend’s veganism away or giving all the gays guns, Davis isn’t your average rural statesman. He’s appeared on NBC’s Bring the Funny, Kevin Hart’s Hart of the City and opened for big-name comedians like Tom Segura and Bert Kreischer. A growing comic to watch, Davis continues to represent for the Las Vegas scene like no other. 8 p.m., $40, LA Comedy Club, bestvegascomedy.com. –Amber Sampson

MUSIC: FELIX Y LOS GATOS Break out your cowboy boots and prepare to be swept away by the infectious southwestern rhythms of Felix y Los Gatos at the Sand Dollar Lounge. Originating from the Land of Enchantment, this band is a powerhouse fusion of blues, country and tejano—whipping up what they cheekily dub “green chile gumbo blues.” Frontman Felix Gato Peralta not only rocks the vocals, he also impressively switches between guitar, accordion and harmonica, setting the stage for a musical extravaganza. Following Peralta’s lead, the band finds its stride in a signature improvisational style that guarantees every show is a unique, foot-stomping experience you shouldn’t miss. 10 p.m., free, Sand Dollar Lounge, thesanddollarlv.com. –Gabriela Rodriguez
