As part of its $1 billion refresh, The Venetian Las Vegas announced its new entertainment concept last month: a cabaret-style nightclub called Voltaire. According to Michael Gruber, the chief content officer at The Venetian, this modern-day retro disco dance party is akin to the second coming of New York’s famed Studio 54. Australian pop star Kylie Minogue is the inaugural headliner, with her first Las Vegas residency at the 1,000-seat venue. “From the beginning, Las Vegas was a place where you could have an intimate entertainment experience … think the Rat Pack in the Copa Room," Gruber told T+L. "Our vision for Voltaire was to create an intimate and luxurious venue that gives performers like Kylie Minogue the space to create legendary performances and give fans an extraordinary up-close experience. On other nights, the venue provides an immersive experience that transcends traditional nightlife and becomes an unforgettable journey.”
