Killers end tour at Hard Rock Hotel

 Las Vegas Review Journal
by Jason Bracelin.


Brandon Flowers never has been afraid to dream big, and his band's repertoire always has followed suit: As frontman for the Killers, Flowers favors rousing, heart-in-the-throat rockers marinated in stardust and great expectations.

Back in their hometown for their first Vegas gig since appearing at Vegoose in October, the Killers are wrapping up their successful North American tour at the Hard Rock Hotel, having played some of their biggest venues yet, mostly headlining arenas.

And rightfully so.

"Sam's Town" is a deliberately big sounding record tailored for large stages, with ringing anthems evocative of the vastness of the American West.

It's an album directly reflective of the landscape in which it was created, equally enamored with bright lights and wide open spaces.

Having sold close to 3 million copies worldwide, the disc has cemented the Killers as the larger-than-life rock band that they've never shied away from aspiring to become.

Back in Vegas, the stars in their eyes just may outshine the Strip.
