The Killers, John Fogerty, Days of the Dead this week in Las Vegas

MUSIC

The Killers

Memory lane became a bustling freeway of emotion in August when The Killers launched their residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, where they celebrated the 20th anniversary of their smash debut “Hot Fuss” by performing the new wave-inspired album in its entirety. Their hometown stint was such a success, they’re back for an encore at 8 p.m. Wednesday, as well as Jan. 24 and 25, at the Colosseum. Resale tickets are available at ticketmaster.com.
