| - REVO SUNDAY!
Revo Sunday is the only reason to visit Revolution.
Once a week -- every Sunday night at 11pm or so -- Revolution transforms from a kitschy lounge in the Mirage hotel into the best club in town... and the boys take over. (Revo Sunday has a $20 cover, but it's free if you're on the guestlist.)
It's a fairly small space (just one room with some seating in the middle and along the sides), but it has a lot of personality. The entrance involves going through the giant wall made of glowing letters, while the interior is totally swank. I could lounge here all day long.
Another plus is that the drinks are strong and less expensive than comparable places on the Strip. My cocktails were $8, which isn't that bad. Some friendly tipping and soon the bartenders were pouring free rounds of shots for everyone -- nice!
The music is also great. It's mostly top-40 stuff, but remixed really well. It's a nice escape from the EDM that's de rigueur everywhere else on the Strip (I'm looking at you, Marquee, XS, etc.).
The one thing that baffles me about Revo Sunday is how sparsely attended it is. Part of the nightclub experience is floating in a crazy sea of people, but Revo wasn't like that. Even at peak hours (~2am), it was only around half full. It was mostly empty by 3am. I guess everyone had afterparties to get to.
Hopefully, more people will discover the joy of Revo Sunday and elevate this weekly shindig to the next level.
Viva la Revolution!
