The main room features a wide-open dance floor with a state-of-the-art sound system, projection screens, twinkling DJ booth, giant disco ball, and full bar. The next level up is the Messanine, providing 360-degree views from on high for visiting VIPs. One more flight up leads to fhe Funky Room with its legendary shower booths and bikini girls, cushions and a mirror lounge. The top floor is an elegant hideaway for those wanting a more private setting with cushy banquettes, a DJ, a full-service bar and a luxurious ladies room.
