Revolution Lounge boasts Beatles theme, getting ‘Love’ ticketholders in the mood

The Beatles are immortal. And fans of the Fab Four who also happen to frequent Las Vegas nightclubs can share in the Beatles' legacy in a particularly unique way via The Beatles Revolution Lounge at The Mirage.

The club offers, of course, a Beatles theme. Homage is paid to the quartet's namesake song via the cool cutout letters visible from the club's exterior.

And inside, says Mustafa Abdi, director of marketing for the club, are "a lot of hints that tie into the Beatles."

Take, for instance, The Abbey Road Bar, which adjoins Revolution. The "Yellow Submarine"-inspired figures along the back wall. The lyric wall, and the design touches based on features of the Beatles' Abbey Road recording studios. Or, even, the crystals that pepper the ceiling (Think "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds").

The result, Abdi says, brings to mind the sort of hip place where the Beatles themselves would have been happy to spend an evening back in the day.

Among the club's coolest amenities are tables with interactive touchscreens on which guests can doodle or write and, then, have the images thrown onto the club's walls.

The club is an intimate one which, Abdi says, has a capacity of about 350.

The music played at the club is "top 40 modern music," he says, and while DJs "sometimes mash in some Beatles (songs) with some current music ... it's pretty much modern top 40."

However, the club does focus on Beatles music from 8 to 10 p.m. with cocktail hours designed to put ticketholders of Cirque du Soleil's "Love," into the proper Liverpudlianish mood.

Within the next week or so, the club also is scheduled to kick off a new Thursday live music promotion, "The Next Big Thing."

"We are doing live performance with artists that are getting ready to become the next big thing," Abdi says.

The Beatles Revolution Lounge at The Mirage, 3400 Las Vegas Blvd. South, is open from 10 p.m. to 4 a.m. Wednesdays through Mondays. (The Abbey Road Bar is open from noon to 4 a.m. daily.)

Cover charges vary. For more information, call 693-8300.
