PARTY: TAO SNEAKER FORMAL Seminal Thursday-night party Worship becomes the fourth-annual Sneaker Formal at Tao this week, and it’s more than just an excuse to wear those stylish casual kicks instead of your club shoes. Guests wearing sneakers will have access to a one-hour open bar at 11:30 p.m., and a $1,000 cash prize is up for grabs for the partier with the freshest footwear. A win like that could justify breaking out those Jordans resting in their original box in your closet, right? Plus, LA Leakers member and SKAM Artist DJ Justin Credible brings the sounds to go with the sneakers all night long. 10:30 p.m., $20-$30, Tao Nightclub, events.taogroup.com. –Brock Radke

MUSIC: ANDREA BOCELLI Bocelli’s first concert back in Las Vegas in two years, part of his traditional In Concert for Valentine’s tour, will be a special one for many reasons, including an onstage team-up with his son Matteo, a burgeoning recording artist in his own right. “When we are able to … share the same stage, it’s always a great joy, great excitement for me,” Bocelli said by email. “I never pressured my son into this profession. I can, in fact, say that I did the direct opposite: I warned him about a world whose pitfalls I know all too well. He was stubborn, and I believe that time proved him right, because these first steps in the industry have already shed light on his potential and, I believe, talent.” 8 p.m., $83-$550, MGM Grand Garden Arena, axs.com. –Brock Radke

ARTS: THE PROLETARIAT In a cultural climate where the Great Resignation looms over American workplaces, The Proletariat couldn’t be more relevant. Playwright and director Ernest Hemmings, who created the sketch comedy project TSTMRKT, presents a dark and original 90-minute play about modern corporate culture and all the terror (and buzz words) that come with it. “The whole idea was how the workers were constantly feeding themselves into this corporate machine with the hopes that one day they’re going to get ahead, and yet they never do,” Hemmings told The Weekly in 2013, when he initially debuted the play. “At the end of the story, I’m hoping that everyone will see this and be like, OK, maybe this whole idea that money rules all and capitalism is a good thing isn’t necessarily a rule.” See if Hemmings gets his point across when The Proletariat clocks in at the Playhouse.

COMEDY: TRIXX The Strat’s comedy club was one of the first to reopen during the early stages of the pandemic and bring the laughs back to the Boulevard on a nightly basis. It has been building momentum ever since and earlier this month moved from its isolated location to a bigger, better, 270-seat showroom right off the main casino floor near McCall’s restaurant. The new space was designed with the performers in mind, which means this week’s headliner, Canadian comedian Trixx, should be more than ready to hit the stage with his no-holds-barred observations on pop culture. Plus, LA Comedy Club still brings you resident funnyman Butch Bradley at 10 p.m.. Thru 2/27 8 p.m., $40-$70, bestvegascomedy.com. –Brock Radke
