The hip-hop icon-turned-reality star celebrates the launch of his LeFLAV spirits company at the Downtown hangout Friday night—with free shots for the first 100 people through the door. Simultaneously, S.R. of Hot 97.5-FM invites rappers, artists, bands and beatmeisters to bring CDs or MP3s of their stuff, to be played throughout the night’s Play It or Fillet It contest.

Fat Joe at Chateau Although his name indicates otherwise, the rapper recently shed quite a few pounds—and everyone noticed (who could blame ’em?). He hosts at the Paris nightspot Saturday night. February 25, doors at 10:30 p.m., $30 men, $20 women.

Chad Michaels at Share The gay nightclub recently took to its Facebook page to ask fans if they’d enjoy seeing “Cher at Share.” While the diva will not be in attendance Friday night, her drag queen doppelgänger will.

Kelis at Rain Her “Milkshake” brings all the boys to the yard—and Friday night, the yard is inside the Palms. In addition to that 2003 hit, expect to hear some of her more-recent, EDM-inspired material. Also bringing the noise: DJs Dainjazone and OB-one. February 24, doors at 11 p.m., $40, local ladies free.

Leap Year at PBR Rock Bar The calendar stretches out just once every four years, and the Miracle Mile bar wants you to remember it—or not remember it, depending how you look at things. In celebration of the milestone day, the Strip-side watering hole offers happy hour specials all day—that’s $3 drafts, 2-for-1 wells and $5 Jäger/Jack Daniel’s shots from 8 a.m. to close. February 29, free entry.

Hack the Planet Tour at Ghostbar DJ Skeet Skeet, who just wrapped up his opening gig for Katy Perry’s California Dreams tour, headlines this special edition of the venue’s weekly Snitch party. DWNTWN and resident DJ M!KEATTACK also supply sounds, and partygoers can document the night’s debauchery in Rony’s Photobooth. February 29, 10 p.m., $20, local ladies free.
