Stratosphere nightlife has something for everyone Ahigh-energy homage to the calendar girls of the 1940s, ’50s and ’60s? Why didn’t we think of that?
Probably because we’re not Stratosphere, producers of “PIN UP,” a modern take on the timeless art of va-va-voom.
“PIN UP” follows their
recent success with Frankie Moreno, who earned the title of “Best Strip
Headliner” from Las Vegas Weekly for his prodigious piano performances
at the Stratosphere. With his 10-piece band, Moreno takes center stage,
where he interprets classic covers and his own hits with youthful
sparkle and old-Vegas verve.
Now
add “PIN UP” to the Stratophere’s impressive slate of entertainment.
Featuring famously curvy former Playboy Playmate of the Year, Claire
Sinclair, this sultry show boasts an impressive cast of dancers and
singers backed by a stunning six-piece live band with a horn section led
by celebrated trumpeter, composer and conductor David Perrico.
In
addition to “PIN UP,” the newest hit at the Stratosphere, is Perrico’s
own 18-piece project, Pop Evolution, which features powerful female
vocals and the punch of Perrico’s distinctive playing to transform hit
songs from multiple genres into unique big band sounds. The Stratosphere
will donate half of all door proceeds from David Perrico — Pop
Evolution shows to the Las Vegas Academy, a local magnet high school
dedicated to the performing and visual arts.
At the Stratosphere’s Level
107 Lounge (located, yes, 107 floors above the glittering Strip), DJ
Dezie spins house music every Wednesday through Saturday. Named on the
SheFM Top 100 Female DJ list, Dezie has performed all over the West
Coast and boasts a string of prestigious Vegas residencies. Or, if you
prefer to be back on the ground, Images Lounge features live bands
Thursday through Sunday nights, performing popular songs in intimate,
friendly surroundings for no cover.
That’s quite the range of live entertainment, under one very high roof.
