Here is a list of 13 things to do in the Las Vegas valley for the week of Dec. 21 through 28:

1. It's not too late to catch one of Terry Fator's annual holiday performances at The Mirage. Fator and cast, including Winston the impersonating turtle, celebrate the holidays with comedy, singing, celebrity impersonations and ventriloquism, featuring classics including “Winter Wonderland,” “Sleigh Ride,” and “White Christmas,” plus fans will learn all about “Juana,” a new holiday guaranteed to make guests laugh. 

2. American violinist, composer and dancer Lindsey Stirling first got notice on YouTube. She then appeared on "America's Got Talent" in 2010. She is now performing Dec. 22 in The Chelsea at The Cosmopolitan.

3. If you love drag queens and Christmas, check out "A Drag Queen Christmas: The Naughty Tour" on Dec. 22 in the Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay. Contestants from "RuPaul's Drag Race" on VH1 will perform holiday songs. Open to all ages.
