Voodoo Lounge Vegas - View the Vegas Strip from the 51st Floor

By VegasNightClubVIP.com

On the 51st story of the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas resides the Voodoo Lounge. You can sense the hustle and bustle of the casino action as you near the Masquerade Village area of the Rio. This is the area of the hotel where you will discover the elevator entrance to the Voodoo Lounge.

Since the Voodoo Lounge is one of the most crowd pleasing lounges in Las Vegas a line usually forms to take the elevator up to the 51st floor. If your lucky enough to have a Las Vegas VIP club or line pass you can skip the line and board the elevator right away.

A favorite pastime of those who must wait for the elevator is to read the menu of the Voodoo Steak restaurant that is posted on the wall adjacent to the elevator access. The Voodoo Steak is located on the 50th floor just underneath the lounge. The interior area of the Voodoo Lounge is accessible by way of the Voodoo restaurant by use of an huge staircase joining the two most upper stories of the Rio Casino tower.

The elevator actually scales the building on the exterior and has a large glass window from which you can get a panorama view of the South end of the Las Vegas Strip as you make your accent. The elevator ride itself is a enjoyable time especially if you are with a good group.

As you leave the elevator, you have a short walk through a dark hallway that is illuminated with black light by what can best be described as voodoo-like artwork hanging on the walls. Once inside the club the candle themed decor gives a feel that voodoo magic is being performed by the bartenders as they concoct their potions before serving them to the visitors.

Live bands performances are held on the stage inside the Voodoo Lounge. This is one of the favorite features of the visitors of the club. In general, there is no separate area inside the lounge set aside as a dance floor. Most visitors just create their own dance space near or in their booth. There is ever a stripper pole used as part of the decor.

However, the outdoor patio area of the lounge is where the voodoo magic begins. First there is a astounding view of the entire Las Vegas Strip and at night it is breathtaking. You can pull up a VIP couch and a nice cocktail then just unwind and take in the views. The exterior area of the Voodoo Lounge Rio has a bar and a DJ spinning top 40 or hip-hop to keep things moving.

The lounge is not influenced by any particular age group and anyone can visit without feeling out of place or akward. In you are in the market for a fun and relaxing evening where you can enjoy a couple of voodoo magic potions, the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio will not disappoint. - 15359
