Def Leppard brings rock back to Vegas for new residency: How to get tickets
Def Leppard fans are used to seeing the veteran band headlining stadiums and festivals with some amphitheaters dotting the itinerary. But in February, the rock titans will commandeer the 4,100-capacity Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for a dozen shows. 'Def Leppard: Live at Caesars Palace The Las Vegas Residency' marks the third residency for the hitmakers behind air guitar classics 'Photograph,' 'Rock of Ages,' 'Hysteria,' 'Pour Some Sugar on Me' and dozens of other hits. Def Leppard – singer Joe Elliott, guitarists Phil Collen and Vivian Campbell, bassist Rick Savage and drummer Rick Allen – will play at 8 p.m. PT each night: Presale tickets will be available to Citi card members at from 1 p.m. ET July 22 through 1 a.m. ET July 25. A fan club presale starts at 1 p.m. ET July 22 and other presales through Live Nation and Caesars Rewards run from 1 p.m. ET July 24 to 1 a.m. ET July 25. Tickets to the general public go on sale at 1 p.m. ET July 25 via Elliott tells USA TODAY that the quintet is currently tossing out Vegas song suggestions daily. 'We haven't nailed the set yet, but it's percolating in a pot.' Did Elliott share a bit more about what fans can expect at next year's Vegas shows? You betcha. Question: This is your third residency in Las Vegas. Are there favorite places the band has discovered there over the years? Joe Elliott: To be quite honest, I don't go out much. I'm the king of Netflix. Because I'm a singer, what will happen if I go out to eat? I'll hold court and talk all night! I also end up being the Pied Piper because as soon as anyone recognizes you, it gets a bit messy. I saw the band at the Borgata in Atlantic City last month and heard you visited my favorite restaurant, Chef Vola's, the night before the show. The food was outstanding and I had to do the treadmill even longer the day after. When I go to restaurants like that, I have to exercise even more. But they really looked after us and nobody came up to ask for a photo. They were like, we had Sinatra here, who are you guys? (laughs) So you can go out unbothered sometimes? I think in Vegas on a Sunday you might spot me with a baseball cap on trying to find a restaurant. I might play mini golf at the KISS place (at Rio Las Vegas). Gene (Simmons) told me I had to go last time and we did. We also saw 'Love' twice (the now-closed Beatles-themed Cirque du Soleil show). I went into the gift shop and bent my credit card to death on rugs and mugs and plates. It was total fandom. Much like the Borgata, The Colosseum at Caesars will give the band a chance to play to a few thousand people at a time instead of a massive stadium. I love Caesars. It's iconic and a great vibe. The only thing is the hazard of Vegas. It's the strangest place for residencies. It's the worst environment for a voice, bone dry. Step into the boudoir of any singer in Vegas and if they have half a brain, the bath is full of boiling water. That's another reason I don't go out too much, otherwise I'll get on stage and sound like Tiny Tim. It's still early, but what can you say about the new show? When we close down this current tour in October, that's the last time you're going to see this particular show. Vegas will have a new concept. We have the A, B and C song list – the crown jewels we have to play, the ones we hope other people like and some that will throw people off. Not to copy Taylor (Swift), but I do like the idea of an eras-type thing, maybe one song from every album. We have the acoustic breakdown that may stay, maybe with different songs. We have to keep some mystique about it, but it's going to be great.

2025 NBA playoffs, betting, odds, lines: Oklahoma City Thunder complete best NBA regular season ATS in 35 years
The Oklahoma City Thunder have been atop the Western Conference for months and clinched the No. 1 seed in the West weeks ago. While they have been been impressive racking up wins on the way to a 68-14 regular-season record, what's more impressive is what Oklahoma City has been doing for bettors who have backed them. The Thunder, with all of their key players taking the game off, beat the New Orleans Pelicans 115-100 on Sunday and covered as 12.5-point favorites to bring their regular-season record to 55-23-4 (70.5%) against the spread — the best regular-season ATS record since 1990, per ESPN Stats & Information. The previous mark was held by the 2011-12 San Antonio Spurs, who went 43-21-2 ATS (67.2%) in a strike-shortened season. The 2009-10 Milwaukee Bucks had held the best regular-season ATS record in an 82-game season with a mark of 54-28 ATS (65.9%). ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement The Thunder were only underdogs in three games this season (2-1 ATS) and went a remarkable 51-24-4 ATS as a favorite. They were also 23-10-1 ATS as double-digit favorites, winning 32 of those 34 games outright. Even though Oklahoma City had a historic season covering spreads, they weren't a hazard for oddsmakers on a nightly basis, in part because of those high numbers. "It's not like everyone was piling on and picking them to cover every night," Thomas Gable, sportsbook director at The Borgata in Atlantic City, told Yahoo Sports. "The Thunder have been pretty good for us this year, so I can't complain. There were been some times where we had some big decisions on their games and people were fading them, so them covering as much of they did has actually been profitable for us here." Jeff Sherman, the vice president of risk at the Westgate Las Vegas SuperBook, echoed Gable's sentiment that the big spreads kept away public bettors from piling on. ADVERTISEMENT Advertisement "It was large numbers at home and on the road for Oklahoma City, enough not have people pile on them from that perspective," Sherman said. "Boston gets more support than the Thunder. Oklahoma City's spreads are pretty thick for people." Oklahoma City is the odds-on favorite at BetMGM to win the Western Conference at -135 odds, followed by the Los Angeles Lakers (+550) and Golden State Warriors (+600). The Thunder are also the NBA title favorites at +175 odds.
