VegasRy Review: Revolution

Earlier in our review of Tryst, we talked about how it might be a cool place, when you get down to it, a club is a club. After checking out Revolution, we decided a lounge is a lounge. Revolution is the new (ultra-?)lounge in the back of the Mirage, evidently conceived by Cirque du Soleil. They know French-Canadian acrobats, I guess now they know Jager-bombs and Appletinis.

Excited by the prospect of a Beatles-themed bar, we were looking forward to checking out the newly-opened Revolution on our latest trip, having just missed it on our trip over Thanksgiving. The concept is cool, (We’ve mentioned 7 or 8 times how much we dig the Beatles and Love) but I think there’s only so much you can do with a club of that nature.

Anyway, the club is in 2 parts, the actual club itself, and what they call the Abbey Road Bar, which is a fancy name for a walk up bar semi-open to the casino. From the outside, the place looks pretty cool, with Revolution spelled out in huge letters. Think the Bar at Times Square at the NYNY, the part that opens to passersby.

However, when we approached the place for the first time, they had these girls outside handing out free cover passes. Now it was cool to not pay cover, but it wasn’t exactly the classiest thing, something that I might expect at a lower-rent locale, not the new club in the Mirage.

So we took the passes and went inside, and were pretty underwhelmed by the interior of the lounge. It was basically just a large room with the requisite couches and flashing lights. Not sure what we were expecting per se, but with the way Vegas never ceases to amaze us, I guess we were expecting more than a club with Beatles lyrics written on the wall. They do, however, have the coolest website for an ultra-lounge that I have ever seen…ok, the only website for an ultra-lounge that I have seen.

Now we might have just come on a bad night, (I guess it was somewhat early on a Thursday) and I have since read that there are different themed nights, such as an all Brit-pop night. So it might be jumping on certain nights. While it might be a cool enough lounge, based on the setup of the club itself, Revolution is hardly revolutionary.
