Top 10 things to do in Las Vegas this week
FOURTH OF JULY
Summerlin Council Patriotic Parade
Las Vegas won’t soon forget the last time the Golden Knights were in a parade. The next time, though, should be a bit more subdued. The team will once again have an entry — one of more than 70 total, including 20 inflatables — in the Summerlin Council Patriotic Parade. The 29th installment is scheduled to begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Hillpointe Road and Hills Center Drive. For more information, see summerlinpatrioticparade.com.

COMEDY
Theo Von
Theo Von has made a career out of sharing too much. The star comedian’s appeal is grounded in his willingness to flay open his Louisiana upbringing and explore how that background manifests itself in the preternaturally funny man he’s become, his comedy equally sincere and self-effacing. See him at 8 p.m. Friday, Sunday and July 7 and at 10:30 p.m. Saturday at the Encore Theater at Wynn Las Vegas. Tickets are sold out; check resale sites.

MOVIES
‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’
“Every gun makes its own tune.” So says Blondie (aka Clint Eastwood) in the symphony of bullets that is “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly,” arguably the apex of the spaghetti Western oeuvre. See the Sergio Leone classic on the big screen at 3 p.m. Sunday at The Beverly Theater, 516 S. Sixth St. Tickets are $10; thebeverlytheater.com.

THEATER
‘Poisoning Pigeons in the Park’
