MUSIC
Rolling Stones
Start ’em up and they’ll never stop — or so it seems: Now in year 62, the Rolling Stones just keep on rollin’ for what feels like perpetuity. Hitting the road in support of their punchy latest album, “co*ckney Diamonds,” from which they play a pair of new tunes, these dudes continue to shame grandpas the world over with their octogenarian vigor. See them at 8 p.m. Saturday at Allegiant Stadium. Resale tickets are available at ticketmaster.com.

SPORTS
Aces’ season opener
The two-time defending WNBA champion Aces are beginning another title defense, but seeing them do so in person will be more difficult this time. In March, the team became the first in league history to sell out its season ticket allotment. As such, tickets are available on resale sites for the season opener against the Phoenix Mercury at 7 p.m. Tuesday in Michelob Ultra Arena.

Dead & Company
The Grateful Dead were always more technologically cutting edge than they were given credit for, pushing the envelope on concert sound systems since the ’60s. For spinoff band Dead & Company to launch a 24-show residency at the visual and aural marvel that is the Sphere seems like a natural fit all these years later. See them at 7:30 p.m. May 16 at the Sphere, with more dates scheduled through July 13. Resale tickets are available at ticketmaster.com.

Pearl Jam
Last time they were set to play Vegas in the spring of 2022, Pearl Jam had to cancel its show after a pair of band members tested positive for COVID. While disappointing for fans at the time, it turns out the two-year wait will probably be worth it: This go-round, the group is touring in support of its tough-nosed new album, “Dark Matter,” one of the hardest-swinging records in its 34-year career. See Pearl Jam at 7:30 p.m. May 16 and 18 at the MGM Grand Garden. Tickets start at $189; ticketmaster.com.

Justin Timberlake
He already brought sexy back. What’s Justin Timberlake to do for an encore? Launch a mammoth tour with an equally outsize, 29-song setlist in support of his newest album, and sixth overall, “Everything I Thought It Was.” Performing with a large live band, Timberlake’s shows are marathons of liquid dance moves and hot-and-bothered R&B. Stay hydrated. See him at 7:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday at T-Mobile Arena. Tickets start at $100; axs.com.

THEATER
‘Come From Away’
The 9/11 terror attacks and musical theater shouldn’t be a good mix, and yet we have “Come From Away.” Based on real stories from among the 7,000 passengers who were diverted to Newfoundland when air travel was grounded, “Come From Away” is part of the Broadway Las Vegas series for the first time since 2019. See it at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and May 16, with additional performances through May 19, in Reynolds Hall in The Smith Center. Tickets start at $30; thesmithcenter.com.

MUSIC
Las Vegas Philharmonic
The long goodbye is coming to an end. The Las Vegas Philharmonic and music director Donato Cabrera announced in January 2023 that they would part ways at the end of his 10-year contract. That final show is now upon us with Cabrera Conducts Saint-Saëns Thundering “Organ” Symphony. In addition to Saint-Saëns’ Symphony No. 3, the program will include Chausson’s “Viviane” and Daugherty’s “Once Upon a Castle.” Organist Paul Jacobs will be featured. It’s scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Sunday in Reynolds Hall in The Smith Center, with a 30-minute pre-concert lecture starting at 6:30. Tickets start at $29; thesmithcenter.com.
