Kesha, Garth Brooks on this week’s list of things to do in Las Vegas
MUSIC
Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull and Ricky Martin
Three of the biggest crossover acts in Latin music history, Enrique Iglesias, Pitbull and Ricky Martin helped pave the way for contemporary superstars such as Bad Bunny, J Balvin and Maluma to take Latin music to the American mainstream in unprecedented fashion.

SPORTS
Raiders vs. Chiefs
One of the most bitter rivalries in football will be renewed when the Kansas City Chiefs, along with tens of thousands of their fans, descend on Allegiant Stadium. The Chiefs are 5-0 in the series since the Raiders’ buses took a victory lap around Arrowhead Stadium on Oct. 11, 2020. The game will be without the NFL’s favorite sideshow, though, as Taylor Swift is set to close out the 2023 leg of her tour that day in São Paulo, Brazil. The matchup is scheduled for 1:25 p.m. Sunday. Tickets are available on resale sites.
