Where and when to hear Latin funk and eat like you’re on the Titanic

GO

Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth The former Most Dangerous Man on the Planet takes us through his chaotic life. It could be enlightening, brutal, funny—or all of the above. April 13-18, 8 p.m., $117.50, MGM Grand.

Celtic Gathering Bag pipes, caber toss, whiskey. The annual Highland Games return with all the kilt-wearing, shortbread-cooking and competitive-drumming you (and your bonnie lass) can handle. April 14-15, Floyd Lamb Park; April 13-14, Fremont Street Experience.

LEARN

Through April 14, 3-8 p.m., free admission, Mirage, lennonbus.com.

SEE

American Reunion The original American Pie cast returns for the series’ fourth film, a surprisingly welcome return, a sweet, funny and even sort of touching rumination on getting older—along with the requisite gross-out gags. Now playing Valleywide.

HEAR
