New Cirque Du Soliel show: Criss Angel Believe

New Cirque Du Soliel show: Criss Angel Believe

Cirque Du Soliel has announced that they will launch a new show in Las Vegas at Luxor Las Vegas. Criss Angel Believe will be a haunting exploration of the inventive mind of mystifier Criss Angel as he hovers between the land of the living and a surreal world reflecting the distinctive imaginations of Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil.

The stunning illusions in Criss Angel will not be presented as standalone elements, but as interdependent components using heightened imagery and fantastical creatures, all of which will be integrated into the dazzling, colourful fabric of the story.

Criss Angel Believe will be launching later this year on September 12th with preview performances beginning September 1st. To take a sneak peak at this new magical production click here.

iBar @ Rio Hotel & Casino

iBar @ Rio Hotel & Casino

Too afraid to say hello to the table of ladies seated next to you? Want to battle your friends for who pays for the next round of drinks or order the perfect cocktail?...now you can with one touch. Microsoft Surface launches iBar inside the Rio All-Suite Hotel & Casino this July.

Microsoft Surface is the first commercially available surface computer with a 30-inch table-like display where individuals or groups can interact with digital content, similar to using a touchscreen. With a 360-degree user interface and massive multi-touch capabilities the iBar is revolutionizing the social experience by infusing the best of technology with the best of Vegas nightlife.

 


CatHouse

CatHouse

Australia’s own motorcycle racing champion Mick Doohan and club owner Billy Cross have made their mark on Las Vegas by opening the chic CatHouse in Luxor. CatHouse combines world-class entertainment, orchestrated by Chef Kerry Simon, with an upscale lounge to create a seductive nightlife venue.

CatHouse might follow a familiar Vegas formula by fusing restaurant, lounge and performance in one venue, but the design and effect is refreshingly stylish and reassuringly slick. There’s not an ounce of tackiness in the décor which includes a large collection of genuine Nineteenth century photographs and vintage hand mirrors that litter the walls. The entrance is imbued with an air of mystery, lined by ornate wooden doorways with peepholes revealing old-school European erotic films.
