An ode to the King

Wednesday, June 9th, 2010

Located at CityCenter inside Aria Resort & Casino, is The Gold Lounge. What a perfect name for this Elvis inspired lounge created by Cirque du Soleil. It should also be mentioned that The Gold Lounge is also located right next to Cirque du Soleil’s Viva ELVIS theater.

This will be the second collaboration between Cirque du Soleil and the Light Group. The Gold Lounge is 3,756 square feet, and exudes a luxe and glamorous environment. The inspiration behind the lounge was actually Elvis Presley’s Graceland. Patterns found within the famed Memphis home of Elvis are used in the décor of The Gold Lounge, as well as black and gold finishes which give off a sexy sophistication that is on par with the King in his prime. The Gold Lounge is for those seeking an alternative to the loud nightclubs in the area. Guests can enjoy a little conversation along with their cocktails in hand, at the bar area where clusters of seats are arranged.

The Gold Lounge features a dance floor, full service bar, DJ services, Lighting and Sound, HD projector, and can accommodate up to 300 people. There is also a dining area where guests can enjoy things like lobster tacos with grilled mango and cilantro, jelly doughnut holes, and an updated adult version of macaroni and cheese.

Another perk of The Gold Lounge is that it also hosts after-hours parties on Friday and Saturday night, beginning at 2AM until the sun comes up!

Come and relax or party in a cocoon of luxe and sexy sophistication at The Gold Lounge.

Nu To Las Vegas

Monday, May 31st, 2010

Launched earlier in the month, Nu Sanctuary Lounge is the newest addition to Las Vegas, located at Town Square. The lounge offers up a religion inspired environment with a modern twist. Designed by Amit Apel and a team of artists, the center of Nu features the Tree of Life, an impressive $200,000 tree made of resin and sprinkled with flickering LED lights in the artificial buds. Roots from the tree dig in all around from under the central bar, adding to the appearance of the tree as a whole.

The menu will feature a variety of dishes from the Mediterranean, Italy, Asia, the Middle East, and America. The Sweeter Side of Eden dessert menu boasts some delicious sounding treats, with things like Sticky Toffee Pudding Cake 9, featuring salted caramel icecream and honey dragon bites and Chocolate Ravioli 9 , featuring vanilla and mascarpone, white chocolate, frosted raspberry and toasted hazelnuts.

There’s also an extensive hookah list, with enticing flavors for anyone’s taste. Guests can request single flavors, and sessions are only $20! Refills are $10, and guests can also enhance their session with $5 liquor shots. Nu also offers a fresh fruit hookah menu for those that are looking to try something different. The hookah menu features flavor combinations like pomegranate and orange for Afterlife, coconut and pineapple for Tropical Skies, guava and flower essence for Green Fairy, as well as flavor and alcoholic combinations such as apple and absinthe for Dante’s Inferno, and Fire Water, a blend of strawberry, guava, orange, and cinnamon liquor.
