So You Say You Want A Revolution
Fans of the Fab Four will enjoy the Revolution club, or Rev, as the locals call it. Designed for synergy with a Cirque du Soleil’s-Beatles themed “Love next Door Show”, Revolution is wowing tourists and locals alike with its private booths , sexy servers clad in hippie apparel , classic beanbag chairs, psychedelic lighting and, ever-changing fractal projections on every bit of available wall space. Revolution is earning its’ place among the very best nightclubs in Vegas. Located in The Mirage at 3400 Las Vegas Blvd South, the low lighting and high volume make the energy spike in this after hours spot. When the Fab Four tunes give way to pumping dance music, the lounge goes right to club and gives way to heavy beats of house and hip-hop. Drop by late on Monday nights for Cirque du Soleil’s “Family Nights,” when the performers from all the Cirque du Soleil’s shows from all over Vegas gather to dance and enjoy the adrenaline fueled dance mixes.
The Revolution operates Monday through Saturday, 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. and the Abbey Road is open from noon to 4 a.m. Daily. The interior has little Beatles feel and a bit more 60’s shag appeal. The furnishings are beanbag chairs and silver mirrors. The music changes from night to night (see below) so in order to truly appreciate this club, one must choose the correct night to attend. The Abbey Road Bar fronts this club, and is a good hangout and cool down. The club boasts a 400 person capacity and ATMs remain accessible in the casino. Dress code is for fashionable attire and cash plus all major credit cards are accepted. Monday: House of Cirque present DJs Digital Boy and Shane Thomas starting the night with mash-ups before switching to European underground house music. The public can also join off-duty performers from Vegas’ Cirque du Soleil shows as they relax and dance. Tuesday: “Live Revolution” together with Los Angeles’ Indie 103.1, Revolution Lounge bring in under-the-radar and up-and-coming indie rock groups from the U.S. and abroad for live performances, supported by members of all the all-vinyl Bargain DJ Collective. Wednesday: ROCKET, industry night, featuring DJ Spair spinning rock with back beats and late night rock mash-ups. Thursday: This Is NOT commercial, featuring DJ Robert Oleysyck spinning the best of indie rock, dance and hip-hop tracks. Also on special Thursdays, look for “This is…” where the blank gets filled in by the visiting DJ’s hometown — such as DJ Paul Sevingy turning the night into This is New York. Friday: Chick, featuring VIP entry for ladies, while DJ Leo Teo and guest DJs spin hip-hop and mash-ups. Saturday: Celebrity Saturdays, where guests can experience a moment of fame, while posing for the “paparazzi” in front of Revolution’s media wall before entering the lounge. DJ Leo Teo spins hip-hop and mash-ups.(http://www.vegas.com/nightclubs/revolution/) Check this club out at: www.cirquedusoleil.com/CirqueDuSoleil/en/LasVegas/revolutionlounge.htmFor booking information call 702-791-1111.
