The Killers kicked off their 10-night Hot Fuss Las Vegas residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace on Wednesday, August 14, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the band’s 2004 debut by performing the entire album in full, plus an incredible encore of fan favorites.

The group's original band members -- Brandon Flowers, Dave Keuning, Mark Stoermer, and Ronnie Vannucci Jr -- take the stage in their hometown of Las Vegas this week through September 1, in celebration of 20 years since the release of their iconic 2004 album Hot Fuss, performing the record front to back for the first time ever – including a few tracks that haven’t seen the light of day in quite a few years.
After the album and show opener, "Jenny Was A Friend Of Mine," The Killers' frontman Brandon Flowers told the sold-out crowd, “As you know, a lot of people come to Vegas to gamble, I’m no exception. I came here from a quiet town in Utah when I was just 16 years old. I bet my life on three men who I hardly knew."
“I had big dreams working as a busboy right here in Caesars Palace," Flowers continued before jumping into their hit “Mr. Brightside.” "Some people come to Vegas and lose everything – that’s just the way it goes. But let tonight serve as a reminder: sometimes it goes the other way too.”
Take a look at the band's full opening night setlist, and more photos from the show below.
“Obviously, we are proud ambassadors of Las Vegas, we're from there and it's kind of amazing to be in this situation," Brandon told us just last week. "We can't believe it's been 20 years -- to celebrate it, and after all these years of going around the world, it's time for everybody to come to us.”
