Top 10 things to do in Las Vegas this week

Savannah Bananas

They’ve gone from an oddity that popped up on your social media feed to their own ESPN docuseries. Now, the Savannah Bananas are bringing their brand of Banana Ball — think the Harlem Globetrotters, but with baseball and more dancing — to Las Vegas. Zack Frongillo, the Bananas’ director of entertainment, brought the team some of the showmanship he learned during his 3½ years as the villain in the Golden Knights’ pregame show. The Savannah Bananas will take on their archrivals, the Party Animals, at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday at Las Vegas Ballpark. Both games sold out long ago, but tickets are available on resale sites.

PARTY

Electro Disney Cosplay

Like the idea of Electric Daisy Carnival but can’t quite party till dawn? There’s another EDC in town. Millennium Fandom Bar is hosting Electro Disney Cosplay, inviting attendees to “cosplay your favorite Disney character into a ‘Tron-Like Entity.’ ” You know, something along the lines of Goofy with glow sticks. The 21-and-over party starts at 8 p.m. Friday at 900 Las Vegas Blvd. South. There’s no cover; fandombar.com.

‘Dismayland: Tales From the Park’

SHOWS

Jim Gaffigan

Hot Pockets are no laughing matter considering how you feel immediately upon digesting one — and we use the word “digesting” loosely. Yet comedian Jim Gaffigan is able to earn plenty of chuckles riffing on the microwaveable foodstuff in one of his more memorable bits. See what Gaffigan pokes fun at next, with himself high on the list, at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas. Tickets start at $75; ticketmaster.com.

MUSIC

Doyle

Doyle — or Doyle Wolfgang von Frankenstein if you’re not into the whole brevity thing — is perhaps best known for joining his brother Jerry Only in punk greats the Misfits when he was just 16 in 1980. But the supremely jacked six-stringer also leads a horror punk band of his own when not out on tour with a reunited version of the Misfits or doing pushups. See Doyle at 8 p.m. Friday at Backstage Bar & Billiards, 601 E. Fremont St. Tickets are $20; backstagebarlv.com.
