Juice Wrld leads this week’s best bets in Las Vegas

MUSIC

Juice Wrld

Juice Wrld’s “Lucid Dreams” are coming true, as the 20-year-old Chicago rapper is fast becoming a star with his moody, emotive, bruised-heart-on-sleeve narratives. His latest album, “Death Race for Love,” topped the charts upon its release in March, and now he’s ensconced on his first big headlining tour, which hits town at 8 p.m. Friday at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel. Tickets are $39.50 to $149.50; call 800-745-3000
