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

By VegasNightClubVIP.com

You will find the Voodoo Lounge on the 51st story of the Rio Hotel and Casino in Las Vegas. The elevator access to the Voodoo lounge is located on the casino level of the Masquerade Village section of the hotel.

As you approach the elevator you experience the hustle and bustle of the neighboring gaming areas. Due to the popularity of to Voodoo Lounge in Las Vegas a line usually forms to ride the elevator up to the top floor of the Rio Hotel tower. For those who have a Las Vegas VIP club or line pass, you can avoid the line and board the elevator directly with no waiting.

If you happen to get stuck in line you can always view the menu posted on the walls for the VooDoo Steak restaurant which is located one floor below the lounge itself. The inside section of the Voodoo Lounge is accessible from the Voodoo restaurant by a immense staircase that connects the 50th and 51st floors.

Visitors to the Rio Hotel and Casino can see the Voodoo elevator for the ground level since it ascends up 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 fun time on the elevator ride especially if you are with a happy group.

Upon exiting the elevator you enter a darkened black light corridor. The walls of the corridor are lined with voodoo type art exhibits. As you enter the lounge the candle themed decor gives an impression the voodoo magic is being performed by the bartenders as they mix their potions before serving them to the guests.

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 portion of the Voodoo Lounge at the Rio is really where all the voodoo mystery begins. 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 beverage 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 frequented 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. - 15634
