Hear why at 8 p.m. Tuesday at The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. Tickets are $39 to $274; call 800-745-3000.

FOOD & DRINK

Hofbrauhaus bratwurst

Is this the best of the wurst? That remains to be seen, but it may be the biggest. This 2-foot-long jalapeno-cheddar bratwurst will be offered only Friday, National Bratwurst Day, at the Hofbrauhaus, 4510 Paradise Road. The mega-brat will be served on a toasted extra-large baguette with a pound of crispy french fries, $30.
