Explore Stefani’s yin and yang

Gwen Stefani’s inauguration of The Pearl at the Palms in April was such a tight ticket you could almost consider it a sneak preview of today’s arena concert at the MGM Grand Garden, 3799 Las Vegas Blvd. South.

Based on that preview, you should expect to lose count of the costume changes in a musical fashion show that explores the yin and yang of Stefani as both pop princess and tough-talking B-girl who never forgets her mall days.

Lady Sovereign opens the 8 p.m. concert. Tickets are $63.75-$137.25; call 891-7777.
