COMMUNITY: America’s Largest Nightclub Operator To Launch New Venture: Marquee – The Star, Sydney [Australia]

AMERICA’S LARGEST NIGHTCLUB OPERATOR TO LAUNCH NEW VENTURE IN SYDNEY 

INTRODUCING MARQUEE – THE STAR, SYDNEY 
Marquee - The Star, Sydney [Australia] - Logo
Internationally acclaimed nightclub operator Tao Group is set to bring a monumental change to Sydney’s nightlife landscape with the opening of Marquee – The Star, Sydney in late March 2012.
 
The new nightclub – the latest jewel in The Star’s $870 million redevelopment – will be overseen by experienced operators Noah Tepperberg, Rich Wolf, Louis Abin, Marc Packer and Jason Strauss, alongside a strong Sydney based team.
 
The Tao Group has been the force behind the world renowned TAO in New York and Las Vegas, LAVO New York and Las Vegas and Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. The joint venture with The Star’s parent company, Echo Entertainment, will be the group’s first venture outside the United States.
 
Marquee – The Star, Sydney will be located on the entire top tier of The Star’s new Pirrama Road harbourside entrance, commanding expansive views of Sydney Harbour and the city skyline. With nearly 20,000 square feet of floor space, the venue is designed to house three distinct spaces within the one venue to cater for different tastes and moods.
 
The recently opened Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas boasts an impressive roster of resident DJs, including Erick Morillo, Kaskade, Red Foo from LMFAO, DJ Chuckie and DJ Vice.  Guests at the club’s grand opening party included A-list celebrities Jay Z, Beyonce, Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Cameron Diaz, Rihanna, Kanye West, Mark Wahlberg and Blake Lively.
 
Noah Tepperberg, from Tao Group said:
 
“Our team is looking forward to bringing the Marquee brand to Sydney while creating a venue with a distinct Sydney style and personality.  Its been great to see The Star unfold into an impressive casino and hotel, and now dining and entertainment complex, and we are excited to work with the talented Australian based team.”
  
Marquee – The Star, Sydney 
Located on the entire top floor of The Star’s glass façade harbourside entrance, Marquee – The Star, Sydney will have a capacity of more than 1,200 people.  Patrons will be able to transition between three lavish rooms and various music experiences.
 
The Main Room will feature a 30 foot projection stage with an LED DJ booth and two dance floors.  In contrast, a stylish library-style room will offer an intimate lounge experience, accentuated by a working fireplace.  Venturing further into the venue, club-goers will come across the Boom Box, with a separate DJ, state-of-the-art sound system and outdoor patio.  There is also a chill-out area with unparalleled views of the Sydney skyline and a unisex “bathroom lounge”.
 
Furnished with dynamic and unique interiors, the venue will have a retail store and separate VIP entrance for quick entry from street level.
 
The Star 
The Star has undergone an $870 million redevelopment and expansion and now offers more than 20 restaurants, bars and cafes, a new luxury boutique lifestyle hotel called The Darling, a 16 room day spa, a luxury retail collection, and upscaled gaming areas. David Chang, the Michelin-starred chef and owner of New York’s Momofuku, also opened his first venture outside of the US at The Star. Momofuku Seiōbo opened in October 2011 and has already found critical success with its innovative take on cuisine.

COMMUNITY: Marquee Announces Kaskade’s Exclusive 2012 Las Vegas Residency

Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas is proud to announce the return of Kaskade for an exclusive 2012 residency, which will begin January 14 and showcase brand new production content.  In addition to packing in the crowds with monthly shows at the nightclub, Kaskade also will play several dates at Marquee Dayclub this upcoming pool season, making Marquee the only club venue in Las Vegas where electronic dance music fans can take in the sounds of America’s #1 DJ.   
 
Kaskade ushered in 2012 by playing a record-breaking 12-hour New Year’s Eve set and debuting an all-new show on Marquee’s larger-than-life 40-foot LED DJ booth with stunning custom visuals, state-of-the-art Funktion One sound system with 32,000-watt subwoofers, and beautiful costumed dancers. His mix of thrilling house and electro kept revelers dancing from midnight to noon on the first day of the year.

After an incredible 2011 at Marquee, in particular the Halloween and New Year’s Eve epic sell-out shows, I can’t wait to continue the residency in 2012. Having a monthly residency in Vegas gives me the chance to stretch out musically, play longer sets, and share some really unique magical moments with my fans. Vegas has exploded in the last two years, the parties just keep getting bigger and better, the city and Marquee are can’t miss destinations for dance music fans,” Kaskade says.
 
Kaskade’s recent double disc album ‘Fire & Ice’ (featuring Skrillex, Dada Life, Skylar Grey and more) hit #4 on iTunes Overall Album Chart and the Billboard Top 20. In 2011 he was voted “America’s Best DJ” by DJ Times, capping off a year that also saw him host the legendary BBC Essential Mix (his mix was voted one of the top four of the year), headline America’s first ever touring electronic music festival IDentity and sell out back-to-back shows at NYC Roseland Ballroom. His exclusive Las Vegas residency at Marquee promises to continue to push the club experience to new heights.
