Operated by Wish You Were Here Group, which runs Kassi Beach House at Virgin Hotels, the LA-based restaurant group developed its nightlife credentials from Santa Monica’s breezy Élephante and Venice’s island-themed Belles Beach House. Those elements give Rouge Room, which opened on March 17, an intimacy that helps it stand out, with perfectly placed, near cinematic lighting that reinforces its sexy ambiance. Vegas’s newest supper club, Rouge Room, occupies a meandering space inside Red Rock Casino and Resort in Summerlin that brings the flash and spectacle of the likes of Wynn’s Delilah, Bellagio’s Mayfair Club, and Cosmopolitan’s Superfrico, but oriented more for a local crowd, complete with lush drapery, sprawling lounge seating, and a stage placed smack dab in the middle of the space.
When it comes to blending the very grown-up pleasures of live music, swanky environs, and freshly shaken cocktails, perhaps no nightlife format fulfills each of these aspects better than the timeless supper club.
