‘E.T.’

If your family members are fans of “E.T.,” you might want to phone home. In celebration of its 30th anniversary, “E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial” is returning to theaters at 7 p.m. Wednesday. As part of the “TCM Event Series,” Drew Barrymore will share her memories of the classic film. See it at the Cannery, Colonnade, Orleans, Sam’s Town, Santa Fe Station, South Point and Village Square.

‘Inner Sanctum’

Some artists confine themselves – and their works – to two dimensions. But artist Troy Gillett invites observers to become participants by stepping inside his “Inner Sanctum,” a three-dimensional piece, made of reclaimed wood, he’s constructed in the Rotunda Gallery of the Clark County Government Center, 500 S. Grand Central Parkway. Gillett will be on hand to discuss his work at 6:30 p.m. Thursday – the eve of “Inner Sanctum’s” final day of display.

Free side

Take some time to get a little education and you can get some fries to go with that: In celebration of National Museum Day on Saturday, anyone who brings in a pamphlet, guide or ticket from any museum can get a free side with the purchase of an entree at any of the five Smashburger locations in the Las Vegas Valley.

Avicii

Avicii headlines Marquee nightclub on Saturday, bringing with him a trove of original hits in the 23-year-old Swede’s fun style – “Levels,” “Silhouettes,” “Fade Into Darkness” and “Seek Bromance.”
