Here are Neon’s top picks for things to do in Las Vegas from Friday, July 10, through Thursday, July 16.
friday
Fuerza Regida
How has Fuerza Regida become the biggest regional Mexican music act of all time in little over a decade? By expanding the bounds of the genre in question, incorporating EDM, hip-hop, reggaeton and more with Latin music traditionalism to record-setting results: the band’s latest album, “111XPANTIA,” reached #2 on the Billboard 200 Albums Chart, the highest position ever for an act of their ilk. See Fuerza Regida at 8 p.m. Friday at Allegiant Stadium. Tickets start at $75; ticketmaster.com.

A Boogie Wit da Hoodie
With his dexterous, emotive and frequently AutoTuned delivery, A Boogie Wit da Hoodie’s discography is a blend of vulnerability and grit, of open hearts and clenched fists.

Tickets start at $69; axs.com.
Manic Hispanic
“Every Cholo Hurts,” Chicano punk lifers Manic Hispanic inform us on their new self-titled record, which maintains their long-standing tradition of firing off Latin-themed parody covers of punk classics — and the occasional R.E.M. standard.
