30 Rock’s final episode After seven seasons, Tina Fey’s sitcom about the dysfunctional cast and crew of a sketch-comedy show is coming to an end.

Downtown Las Vegas Music Showcase What’s better about Life Is Beautiful’s first local-bands night—that the festival picked quality bands (Rusty Maples, American Cream, Same Sex Mary, Coastwest Unrest, Play for Keeps, The Perks) or that it’s free? Let’s call it a tie. February 6, 8 p.m., Artifice.

And they’re free, at IHOPs across the country, which are also encouraging guests to donate to the Children’s Miracle Network Hospitals. Breakfast with a side of good karma. February 5, 7 a.m.-10 p.m., various IHOP locations.
