MUSIC
Iron Maiden
Currently ensconced on the “Legacy of the Beast Tour,” British metallers Iron Maiden boast a beast of a legacy, having defined the sound as much as any band, with frontman Bruce Dickinson’s operatic vocals, a triple-guitar attack, and songs as elaborate as the history lessons that often inform their sprawling narratives. See them at 8 p.m. Friday at the MGM Grand Garden. Tickets are $49.50 to $125; call 888-929-7849.

‘Star Trek: The Motion Picture’
In 1979, the cast of “Star Trek” boldly went where it had never gone before: movie theaters. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of “Star Trek: The Motion Picture,” the first installment in what became a 13-film franchise, is being rereleased, along with the behind-the-scenes documentary short “The Longest Trek: Writing the Motion Picture.” See them both Sunday and Wednesday at Colonnade, Orleans, Sam’s Town, Santa Fe, South Point and Sunset.
