The stars were out in force for the grand opening of The Cosmopolitan, a $3.9 billion hotel on the famous Strip.


Following a gig, which included performances from Beyonce, Jay-Z, and Coldplay's Chris, the celebs partied until the earlier hours at the Marquee Nightclub in the hotel.

Beyonce, 29, duetted with her 41-year-old husband to perform Forever Young and also teamed up with Chris to sing her hit Halo, wearing a stunning low-cut dress.

John Mayer also made a surprise appearance, playing guitar with Jay-Z on his song 99 Problems.

'All the problems you were going through have been kicked out the door,' Jay-Z told the crowd before collaborating with West on Homecoming, which also featured Chris Martin.
