Jay-Z, Coldplay plan New Year’s Eve show in Vegas

LAS VEGAS — Jay-Z and Coldplay plan to share the stage in Las Vegas as New Year’s Eve headliners at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas casino-resort.

Cosmopolitan officials said Monday that the music superstars would also play solo sets with the performances broadcast on the hotel’s 65-foot marquee overlooking the Las Vegas Strip.

The Cosmopolitan says the concert is part of a three-day invitation-only celebration roughly two weeks after the resort opens. The $3.9 billion resort owned by Deutsche Bank is scheduled to open Dec. 15.

Cosmopolitan officials say the New Year’s Eve weekend will also include a surprise performance on the resort’s pool deck, which overlooks Las Vegas Boulevard.
