ART
‘Art of the Mob’
After meeting then-Mayor Oscar Goodman, artist LeRoy Neiman was inspired to create a series of portraits for the Mob Museum. Those paintings are finally being displayed as part of “Art of the Mob: The LeRoy Neiman Portraits.” The museum’s first fine art exhibition includes likenesses of Meyer Lansky, John Gotti, Bugsy Siegel, Mickey Cohen and J. Edgar Hoover along with three earlier works — portraits of John Dillinger, Al Capone and Frank Costello — that are on loan. The exhibit opens Friday. The Mob Museum is open from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily. Admission starts at $19.95 for Nevadans with ID; themobmuseum.org.

MOVIES
‘Thank You Very Much’
Andy Kaufman was a once-in-a-lifetime comedic force who often delighted in enraging audiences during his too-brief time on Earth.

See it at 4:30 p.m. March 27, with additional screenings through March 30, at the Beverly Theater. Tickets start at $14; thebeverlytheater.com.

MUSIC
Danzig

ART
‘Vacancy: The Dead Motels of Las Vegas’
Local artist David Cooper and woodworker Korey Replogle have teamed up for “Vacancy: The Dead Motels of Las Vegas.” The exhibition combines illustrations of some of the city’s more gimmicky motels in their prime with frames that serve as an artistic companion. It’s on display from 7 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Mondays to Thursdays through April 24 at Las Vegas City Hall. Admission is free.

COMEDY
Bert Kreischer
Bert Kreischer is the kind of comic who’ll give you the shirt off his back for a laugh — literally, the man performs topless. The hard-partying stand-up does so for a reason: It adds a measure of vulnerability and openness to his consistently candid comedy, which spares no one, not even himself. See Kreischer at 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday at the Resorts World Theatre. Tickets start at $52; axs.com.
