Since the Voodoo Lounge opened its doors, other nightspots have come along to claim their view is the best in Vegas, but the original party in the sky continues to innovate and redefine itself to stay on top of the Vegas nightlife scene.
Once a mere afterthought of the Voodoo Café’s 50th-story location atop the Rio’s Masquerade Tower, Voodoo is now a full-fledged, multilevel nightlife experience, and it’s one that the club’s operators are continually improving and reworking.
To that extent, a 40-ton staircase connecting the 50th and 51st floors was added. This winding, illuminated work of art can be seen from the streets below. More than just an elaborate walkway, the staircase features glass-bottomed stages on its sides, upon which go-go dancers strut their stuff for revelers on both floors.
The 180-degree view of the Vegas Valley from the dance floor provides the perfect backdrop for a decadent Sin City night or for a romantic rendezvous. Depending on the evening, DJs spin hip-hop and Top 40 from the 51st floor deck, while inside the lounge, a live band performs funk and Latin dance music.
The lounge itself is a dark, sexy space featuring voodoo-themed drawings on walls that glow in the presence of the club’s black lighting. Plush seating is available throughout the room — as well as on the outdoor patio — when you purchase bottle service. The bar is a popular location around which partygoers gather and features some of the city’s finest flair bartenders dazzling onlookers while mixing libations.
Though the venue is open year-round, the summer party season — which starts about Memorial Day — is when Voodoo kicks into high gear. Both decks are open all night, the weather is warm enough for the hottest bodies to show some skin, and there is no better place to be than 50 stories above the heat of the bustling Vegas streets below.
