Voodoo Lounge Vegas - View the Vegas Strip from the 51st Story
January 7th, 2009The Voodoo Lounge resides on the 51st floor of the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. As you near the doors to the elevator for the Voodoo Lounge you experience the hustle and bustle on the casino floor in the Masquerade Village section of the property.
As a result of the Voodoo Lounge being one of the most trendy lounges in Las Vegas a waiting line normally forms to ride the elevator up to the top floor of the Rio hotel tower. To avoid the line just flash a Las Vegas VIP club or line pass and you can board the elevator right away without a wait.
If you happen to get caught in line you can always check out the menu posted on the walls for the VooDoo Steak restaurant which is located one floor beneath the lounge itself. The inside area of the Voodoo Lounge is accessible from the Voodoo restaurant by a huge staircase that joins the 50th and 51st stories.
Visitors to the Rio Hotel and Casino can see the Voodoo elevator for the ground level since it scales the hotel tower on the outside of the building. The elevator has a large glass window from which you get a panoramic view of the entire southern portion of the Las Vegas strip. You can have a enjoyable time on the elevator ride especially if you are with a happy group.
As you exit the elevator, you have a brief 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 impression that voodoo magic is being performed by the bartenders as they mix their potions before serving them to the visitors.
The inside of the voodoo lounge features a stage for live band performers. There is not really a dedicated dance floor but visitors normally for the most part create their own dance floor in their booths or wherever need be. There is even a stripper pole used as part of the decor.
However, the outdoor patio area of the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio is really where all the voodoo magic occurs. First there is a dazzling view of the entire Las Vegas strip and at night it is breathtaking. You can pull up a VIP couch and order your favorite cocktail then just sit back, relax and unwind as you take in the magnificent views. The outside terrace of the Voodoo Lounge has a bar area along with a disc jockey playing hip-hop and top 40 hits for your enjoyment.
The lounge is not influenced by any particular age group and anyone can visit without feeling out of place or uncomfortable. 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.
