what is ''UPSCALE NIGHTCLUB ATTIRE'' ?

meow85 said:

Of course, it's all relative and that amount is very expensive for some people. But say in comparison to the last tour I went to, the ONA tour, thinking back it cost something like £65 I think, which is something like $100, and plenty of people were happy to pay that. Given that was 4 years ago and this is Vegas, only another $25 on top ain't that bad.

I saw this on CNN (Robin & Company) this morning. Does anyone know how long this will go on for? I will be in Vegas in January...you think he will still be there?

Well, this was great news until I read the 21+ age thing.

I'm 18, and now I'm pissed.

I'd say cocktail party attire, something like:
little black dress or black pants, heels, nice shirt for the ladies and for the gents no denim or sneaks, button up/collared shirt (preferably ironed )




Have fun & post a review!

Forgive me,for being out of the loop here,but ...what happened to Paisley Park,why can't he just have the concerts there like he used to?
Is he turning his back on MPLS?
And does the hotel room have a recording studio?

gypsyfire said:

I can only guess but....I doubt he's turned his back on PP.
why can't he just have the concerts there like his used to? welp..my guess would be cause it's in the middle of nowhere and there isn't a steady stream of regular joes coming through looking for a show to go to.
Universal mighta had SOME say it this...ya think?

Club Rio has had the successful Latin Libido night for awhile, it's not Prince's gig.

gypsyfire said:

He was supposedly recording at PP recently. But who in the hell in their right mind wants to go to MPLS in the winter?! Besides, Chanhassen has grown so much, that having the big parties there isn't as feasible nowadays with the parking and neighbors who hate it. As Shorty said, you don't have the flow of people either, in MPLS you'll only get the dedicated Prince fans, who also bitch and moan about going there anyway.

In MPLS, what else is there to do when you're not at PP? Not a heck of a lot once you've done the sightseeing. But in Vegas, you've got a zillion choices.

If you don't stay at the high-end strip hotels, good deals can be found downtown or off-strip. I paid $80 a night (for 6 nights...) in MPLS at a crappy Comfort Inn and got a room at the Rio for $108 per night for a weekend in December (Golden Nugget had rooms that same weekend for $89). Also, if you have a AAA membership, make sure you ask the hotels for the discount, it's usually 10%.

DESCRIPTION:

3121 -- formerly Club Rio -- can boast something few other nightclubs in town can -- it has been a Vegas club standard for more than a decade.

The 30,000-square-foot circular-shaped venue serves as a showroom at the Rio hotel before turning into a nightclub later in the evenings.

Its round design creates the perfect nightclub setup with a huge dance floor in the center and two tiers of seating surrounding it. The first tier of booths and tables is reserved for VIPs and features bottle service. The second tier offers tables where weary dancers can sit and rest their feet.

3121 is known as a great place to dance, but it is also now home to the purple one himself, Prince, who is scheduled to perform Friday and Saturday nights. As well, he is bringing his musical friends on Wednesday nights for special guest performances.

Twelve massive video walls surround the club and project funky, colorful images as well as live shots of the crowd.

3121 is also one of the few clubs in town that has a regular Latin night. "Latin Libido" is held every Thursday and packs in the crowds with infectious Latin house, salsa, merengue, cumbia, reggaeton and hip-hop music.



(btw, I'm happy to hear there is seating around inside the club...)

Hummmmm.....this has been going on WAY before Prince got into negotiations with the Rio.

one can only hope the shows are going to be recorded/taped for future release..

CandaceS said:

i guess if i had enough money to cover the trip from houston and the accomodations, probably for at least 2 weekends.....be a shame tho to do all that traveling for a show...i'd have to attend the meet and greet backstage...
