The
Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas continues to remain one of the hottest spots in the
nation to celebrate New Year’s by jumpstarting the weekend last night (Friday,
Dec. 28) with the first of two sold-out performances from Vegas-born band The
Killers inside the resort’s unique entertainment venue The Chelsea.
The
evening began with openers Louis XIV, a rock group from San Diego, and the
fast-rising local band Most Thieves. At
10:40 p.m., The Killers took to the main stage, igniting the venue as the
award-winning four-piece rocked the crowd with hits such as "Mr.
Brightside,” "Human,” "Sombody Told Me," "Runaways"
and "When You Were Young." Flowers told the crowd "It feels good
to be back home" and referred to his hometown of Las Vegas as the jewel of
the Mohave Desert. In honor of their hometown, they performed part of Frank
Sinatra's "I Get a Kick Out of You" in true Killers style. The band
closed out their encore with "All These Things That I've Done."
Throughout
the resort, other entertainers were revving up guests for what is bound to be
an unforgettable weekend. The Jennifer
Keith Quintet brought its vintage throwback sound to The Chandelier, Aloe Blacc
rendered a soul-stirring performance at Book & Stage and Toro y Moi
unleashed his eclectic sounds in the DJ booth at the rhythmic and vibrant LED
lounge BOND. At Vegas’ top nightclub,
Marquee Nightclub, German DJ ATB started off the venue’s four-day dance party,
which will finish on Dec. 31 with Benny Benassi’s headlining performance.
The
Killers return to The Chelsea tonight for an encore performance to yet another
full-capacity crowd. On New Year’s Eve,
The Chelsea will host legendary rockers Red Hot Chili Peppers for a truly
dynamic night as 2012 winds down its final moments and guests welcome 2013 at
Las Vegas’ most distinctive luxury resort.
