The uppermost part of a guitar is called the “peghead.” Fun fact: Peghead was the name of our band in high school.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nHere’s the way Caspian’s is described in the official announcement, “An homage to Art Deco’s Parisian roots, the music lounge is a collision of materials, fabrics and colors that come together for sightlines that are filled with opulence and beauty. A large carved golden frame draped with inky blue velvet curtains will provide a rich backdrop for performances, which will be enjoyed from ornate, oversized couches wrapped in deep browns, blues and golds. A dramatic chandelier hangs from the center of the lounge from a 16-foot-tall ceiling, illuminating colors of the sea accentuated by brilliant gold features.”<\/p>\n
Seriously, how are companies still paying rendering artists? Caspian’s won’t have natural light, but otherwise, A.I. is all over it.<\/p>\nIf we ever have a man cave in our house, we’re letting A.I. do the interior design.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nYes, we’re bored, so we asked A.I. to make us a man cave.<\/p>\nIt’s like A.I. is inside our head.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nAs for reality, Caspian’s is described thusly, “On the outside, Caspian’s exudes European elegance. An exceptional collection of caviar will be enjoyed from an intricately designed bar and intimate tables in a luxurious setting that dramatically pairs onyx and pearl hues with detailed brass. Expertly curated champagne and vodka selections will enhance the flavors of the world’s most celebrated delicacy with accompaniments to make each bite an explosion of pleasure for the tastebuds.”<\/p>\n
News releases gonna news release.<\/p>\n
Caspian’s caviar bar will seat about 50 people, the music lounge will accommodate 100 guests.<\/p>\nAlso not Caspian’s, but we’d go here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nClique has had mixed results with its Las Vegas venues. Probably the most successful is Clique Bar & Lounge at The Cosmopolitan. We also like Tailgate Social Sports Bar & Grill at Palace Station.<\/p>\n
We’re sure Clique and Caesars Entertainment will do a fine job with Caspian’s, but the real question is what’s happening with Cleopatra. Which seems like a sentence that could use a question mark, but it’s a statement. The statement is there’s a question, it’s not an actual question. “The real question is what’s happening with Cleopatra?” Good luck if you are trying to learn English. Even people who speak English have trouble with English. Don’t get us started on “plough,” “dough” and “cough.”<\/p>\n
Back to Cleopatra!<\/p>\n
We noted her removal<\/a> in Oct. 2023, and were surprised there wasn’t a bigger brouhaha. There certainly was one when Buck and Winnie<\/a> were sent to the recycle bin at Harrah’s.<\/p>\nOur source says Cleopatra is being given a makeover and will be back, although the location isn’t known yet. It doesn’t sound like her cheesy throwback vibe will be a fit for Caspian’s, so that leaves her fate up in the air.<\/p>\nCleopatra’s Barge is transitioning.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn case you’re unfamiliar with the statue, rubbing her is a longtime Las Vegas ritual for gamblers, despite being, well, “up in the air.” Like we foreshadowed in the last paragraph. Please keep up.<\/p>\n
