Expect the metal act to perform the breakthrough single “Lit Up” as well as its other hits during a show that is scheduled to run from 9 to 10:30 p.m. on the First Street Stage. vegasexperience.com

Rally set to oppose street-name change

Fans of Debbie Reynolds will gather in front of the Clark County Government Center, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway, on Tuesday night to rally in support of keeping her name on a 1,000-foot street between Convention Center Drive and Desert Inn Road. A developer is seeking to change the name of Debbie Reynolds Drive to Majestic Plaza Place. But the arts collective Eat More Art Vegas is not happy about it. Members have launched an online petition, and are encouraging people to email the Clark County Planning Commission. They’ll be out in person from 7-10 p.m. Tuesday. facebook.com/eatmoreartvegas.
