Yabu Pushelberg Designs A Vegas Nightclub For Bruno Mars
2024 Best of Year Winner for Bar/Lounge
The Rat Pack meets modern glam at The Pinky Ring, Bruno Mars’s penthouse-inspired nightclub by Yabu Pushelberg inside the Bellagio in Las Vegas. The experience is one of being in a pop star’s private home, with guests entering through a mirrored hallway displaying the singer’s Grammy Award collection. They then emerge into the main lounge area, featuring a sunken conversation pit with banquette seating that gives the space a distinctly mid-century vibe. Farther in, the monolithic stone bar has a backlit mirror that reflects the glittering chandelier hovering above it all. Though the 5,000-square-foot lounge is prime for a social media moment, no photos are allowed. After all, you know what they say about what happens in Vegas.
