Six Picks: Our experts pick their favorites for the week

Some serious jazz

Hard-bopping, serious jazzman jazz (not your slap-bass, R&B elevator music) is hard to find in Las Vegas these days, and particularly hard to find in a righteous drinking environment. But Jimmy Mulidore has swung his saxophone (and flute) here since the 1950s, and never gives up seeking a place to honk it. Today that place is the Roma Garden restaurant, 5715 S. Pecos Road, for sets at 7 and 9 p.m. Call 873-1348.

B-52’s hit town

What do you do when the B-52’s play? You get bombed, of course. Seems like every summer the group brings its feel-good pop to Vegas, where their tunes go great with drinks adorned with brightly colored paper umbrellas. See them at 8 p.m. Saturday at The Joint at the Hard Rock Hotel, 4455 Paradise Road. Tickets are $45.50; call 693-5000.

Praising ‘Kane’

Widely regarded as the greatest film of all time – “Grease 2” keeps getting robbed, I tell ya – Orson Welles’ 1941 masterpiece “Citizen Kane” has been digitally restored, offering the chance to see it like you’ve never seen it before. And if you’ve really never seen it before – and shame on you, if that’s the case – here’s your chance to find out what all that “Rosebud” hubbub is about. See it at 2 and 7 p.m. Wednesday at Suncoast and South Point.

World Oceans Day

The closest ocean may be a few hundred miles away, but World Oceans Day – that’s today! – is as close as Mandalay Bay’s Shark Reef Aquarium, which marks the occasion from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. with conservation information, live dive demonstrations, children’s art projects and more. Admission for Nevada residents is $15 for adults and $10 for kids age 5-12 (kids 4 and younger are free); for information or tickets, call 632-4555 or go online to sharkreef.com.
