MISC: UNWELL VEGAS Anyone who’s spent even a smidgen of time on the internet has probably seen, heard or shared a clip of Alex Cooper’s celebrity-packed podcast Call Her Daddy.

Now, the podcaster will bring a slice of that with Unwell Vegas, a two-day fest full of pool parties, DJ sets, the Unwell Expo and UnWell Live featuring special guests like Paris Hilton, Trisha Paytas, Nicole Byer, Stassi Schroder, Erika Jayne, Chrishelle Stause and the cast of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives.

COMEDY: JOHN MULANEY It’s a safe assumption that many or even most comedians dream of playing Vegas, especially of moving beyond one of our intimate comedy clubs and reaching headliner status at a luxurious casino mega-theater like Dolby Live at Park MGM. Chicago native John Mulaney, having already conquered the Strip, will realize his own dream next summer when he becomes the first comedian to perform at historic Wrigley Field. But for now, his Mister Whatever tour swings through for one night, so expect fresh material with some different creative twists from this manic comedy mind, particularly since he’s been continuing his chaotic Netflix show Everybody’s Live in between stand-up runs. 8 p.m., $79-$106, Dolby Live, ticketmaster.com. –Brock Radke

PARTY: SNOW THA PRODUCT Always outspoken but now stirring the pot more vigorously and unapologetically, Snow tha Product storms the Strip for a tour stop at Omnia at Caesars Palace this weekend. The rapper’s late summer drop “Sabado” grabbed headlines for addressing the cultural and political state of the Mexican-American community through sharp, hilarious wordplay. She’s showing up for her people and showing out with her music, and she’s still talking about the LGBTQ community, motherhood, sexuality and everything else that matters on her EveryNightNights podcast. 10:30 p.m., $34+, Omnia Nightclub, taogroup.com. –Brock Radke
