Mirage has announced the long-awaited reopening of Rhumbar lounge.<\/p>\n

Rhumbar reopens on April 20, 2022, as Rhumbar Tropical Ultra Lounge.<\/p>\n

The new iteration of the lounge will have a “refreshed bar program, elevated culinary fare and nightly entertainment.”<\/p>\n

Yes, we left out the cigar menu part because cigars are disgusting and we don’t want to encourage that crap.<\/p>\n

Mirage didn’t release renderings of the new venue, just some cocktails. Here’s how Rhumbar looked during our last visit.<\/p>\n

\"\"
Not enough ultra, obviously.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The original Rhumbar lounge closed July 25, 2021.<\/p>\n

The revamp cost $2.3 million.<\/p>\n

Rhumbar was supposed to reopen in the winter of 2021, but virtually nothing has gone to plan in Las Vegas in the last two years.<\/p>\n

One of the most interesting aspects of the reopening of Rhumbar is what it’s not. Chatter was Rhumbar was going to be a project in collaboration with Bruno Mars. That plan never came to fruition.<\/p>\n

We were really hoping to see a 24k Magic Ultralounge.<\/p>\n

The latest is a Bruno Mars venture will take over the Lily Lounge space at Bellagio, although that hasn’t been announced or confirmed.<\/p>\n

Here’s what in store for the new Rhumbar, according to the official announcement, “The venue’s playful color scheme of yellow, pink and mint is complemented by opulent greenery and 70s-inspired prints and style that bring energy to the space. The indoor-outdoor lounge will provide an array of entertainment offerings, including live music and special event programming throughout the year.”<\/p>\n

Here’s a peek at one of Rhumbar’s new cocktails.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The “h” in Rhumbar is silent, as in “gherkin,” voted “Funniest Word, Ever” for 14 years running.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Here’s another chunk of words about Rhumbar: “Designed and fabricated by Southern California firm Basile Studio, Rhumbar reflects an atmosphere of mid-century nightlife and elevated comfort. The striking palette of pink, ochre and brass begins indoors with a Basile-built custom host stand fashioned from hot rolled steel and powder coated in the perfect shade of dusty rose. Covering the expanse of the room is a 40-foot linear polished brass bar accented by pink fluted tile, custom fabricated bar stools and a TV hidden behind dielectric gold mirror.”<\/p>\n

But wait, there’s more: “More signature breezeblock gives life to 1960s revelry as guests head outdoors for an alfresco party that never stops. The architectural showstoppers are eight Basile-built custom steel umbrellas with hand-upholstered fringe detail, LED backlighting and pop-down planters. Additional cocktail areas offer an eclectic mix of custom-made lounge furniture reminiscent of the mid-century design period including ‘mod’ pink bucket seats with brass piping and curved velvet banquettes.”<\/p>\n

Fun fact: The Architectural Showstoppers was the name of our band in high school.<\/p>\n

Yes, it’s just a lounge, but more description is required, apparently: “On the far end, Basile drew inspiration from mid-century architecture for the pink scallop bloom bar. Custom starburst tiles play off mint and brass bar stools while a vintage TV built into back-lit liquor shelving plays vintage music video loops. A custom DJ booth fashioned from a vintage 1960s media console will let the good times roll all day and night.”<\/p>\n

A picture is worth a thousand words. And vice versa, obviously.<\/p>\n

The Internet demands renderings, Mirage!<\/p>\n

Here’s another signature cocktail, and it’s adorable.<\/p>\n

\"\"
We didn’t have time to ask which parts of this Rhumbar cocktail are edible or drinkable, so use common sense.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The timing of Rhumbar’s reopening is interesting given Mirage was recently sold<\/a> to Hard Rock International. Mirage will soon be Hard Rock Las Vegas.<\/p>\n

We figured new offerings would be put on hold until the new owners come onboard, especially in the case of a Caribbean-inspired lounge that might not necessarily be a great fit with the Hard Rock brand. (It’s believed a planned tiki bar<\/a> was nixed. It was never officially announced in the first place.)<\/p>\n

It’s great to see Rhumbar back! The lounge sits in a great location at Mirage, on the south entrance walkway.<\/p>\n

Rhumbar will operate from 4:00 p.m. to midnight Monday through Thursday, noon to 2:00 a.m. on Friday and Saturday.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
