Def Leppard played the final night of the 12 show Sin City Residency in Las Vegas, NV on this day in 2019.

The show took place at the 7,000 capacity Zappos Theater at Planet Hollywood.

The final night of the 12 show residency. The second of the band's career after 2013's VIVA! Hysteria.

The first visit to Las Vegas since September 2018 and a return to the site of their first Las Vegas show in September 1982 of the Pyromania tour.

A stage featuring an array of video screen, ramps and a satellite thrust stage were used along with lasers and the usual impressive light show.

Two songs were played for the very first time and others included for the first time in many years.

'Die Hard The Hunter' was played for the first time since Vivian's first show in Dublin 1992.

The second night of filming for a DVD/Blu-ray of the show with another lengthy setlist played.

Joe spoke about the end of the residency on his weekly Planet Rock radio show at the time.

Rick Allen came out for the Semi Acoustic section dressed as a King.

All of the 28 different songs played at the 12 shows were performed for the DVD taping on Nights 11 and 12.

The 'London To Vegas' CD/DVD/Blu-ray/Digital package was eventually released in May 2019.

The 37th time overall that the band have played in Las Vegas.
