Revolver Review: Las Vegas Nightclub Gets Four-Spur Rating

February 11, 2010 By 1 Comment
AS AN ADVERTISING Copywriter, my job is often strange and wonderful. Take the other night for example. I literally spent a good part of it gazing at a sparkling armadillo, as it spun in the sky. Now, I know what some of you are thinking, but I can assure you I wasn’t having a Hunter S. Thompson Las Vegas moment. Truth be told, I hadn’t had anything stronger than a complimentary margarita (rocks, no salt, of course). No, the dazzling armadillo is actually a huge mirror ball that’s part of the décor of Santa Fe Station’s new Revolver Saloon & Dance Hall. (Those of you familiar with Texas Station’s South Padre will recognize it.) And that particular Tuesday night was a Team Member Play Day, which is sort of a Stations family party to try the place out before you folks get to.

View more pictures from Revolver’s grand-opening
weekend at the Facebook page for Nightlife Stations

Now, I gotta tell you, whether you’re an admirer of sparkling armadillos or not, you’ve gotta see Revolver. Our Nightlife crew really did a kick-butt job on it. They gave it a great mix of country and cool. It has one of those mechanical bulls, a big dance floor, and a couple of well-stocked bars. I’m not a big country kind of guy, but I could hang out at Revolver. The music mix has a bit of everything, but nothing that feels totally out of place (at least not while I was there). But the best part of the joint is the staff. I don’t know where they found them all, but the team is full of gorgeous, friendly women that seemed to be having as much fun that night as the rest of us. Some of them even got out on the dance floor.

After all, you can make the coolest space around, but unless your team makes people want to be there, all you’ve got is an empty space. I’m betting the folks in Northwest Vegas are gonna keep Revolver nice and full.

Cheers,
Jeff Perry
Sr. Ad Writer, Station Casinos

Let me know below what you think about Revolver.

The weekly schedule at Revolver is running as follows:

  • Wednesdays: Wasted Wednesdays (ladies drink free until midnight)
  • Thursdays: Industry Night (bull-riding competitions)
  • Fridays: American BadAss Party ($1 shots of Jack, $1 Budweisers)
  • Saturdays: Dukes Night (ladies dressed Daisy-style drink free until midnight)

A brew debut at five of our Las Vegas bars

February 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Freshly brewed at Barley's in Henderson, Red Rock will be available at Wildfire Gaming locations. Join us for a free sample at one of our upcoming tapping parties. Cheers!

I’LL PERSONALLY BE attending the tapping parties at all the properties, and spreading the word about the new Red Rock beer. Well, it’s not really new, as Barley’s Casino & Brewing Company has been making it since 1996, but most of the valley hasn’t had a chance to try it yet! We’ll be serving free 12-ounce samples of Red Rock at five locations during the next week or so. Freshly brewed Red Rock will also be on tap for seconds, thirds, and so on at the bar. 

In case you have never had the pleasure, Red Rock is a very classic German style of beer called “Märzen” (mair’ tzen), or roughly translated, March beer. In the 1500′s, refrigeration was non-existent, and you could only make beer when weather permitted. People found that after March, it was too warm to make beer, because it would go sour. So, the March beer would be made and stored in ice caves, awaiting the cooler fall season when it would be brought out and drunk heartily.

 Tapping parties for the new Red Rock brew at the Wildfire Gaming Properties

Later, in the 1800′s, this was the basic beer for Oktoberfest in Munich. Ours is a classic Munich-style Märzen, rich red in color and fairly powerful at 6% ABV. The barley that is used to make this beer is actually called “Munich Malt,” as the color is specific to the Munich area. We use only the four traditional German ingredients of water, malt, hops, and yeast, foregoing cost-cutting ingredients like rice, corn and sugars that are found in most lighter American beers.

This is the beer you want to have with a bratwurst or knockwurst, or if you just feel like putting on your lederhosen!

It was mighty nice of them to name the casino after the beer, wasn’t it?

Cheers!

Brewmaster
Barley’s Casino and Brewing Co.

Props bets ready at our Las Vegas Sports Books

February 2, 2010 By Leave a Comment

Nine pages and hundreds of props printed and ready in the Sports Books!

BITTERSWEET IN THE Sports Book. It’s the last weekend of football (boooo!). It’s the best weekend of football (yeah!).

Talking about betting on the Big Game, of course. The prop-bet sheets are printed and ready in all Station Casinos’ Las Vegas Sports Books. Nine pages and hundreds of props including some of my annual favorites such as:

  1. Jersey Number (odd or even) to Score First Touchdown
  2. Shortest Touchdown Scored by Either Team
  3. First Team to Challenge in Game

Here’s some quick advice from my years of betting props on the pro football championship game.

  • Don’t “over bet’ on the first score/touchdown of the game. There are many props on who will score first, but remember there’s four quarters (and maybe overtime?) so spread out your wagering fun.
  • Pick a scenario and go with it. If you think both quarterbacks are going to have big games, pick the props that support that thinking like Individual Passing and Receiving Yards and Overs on Longest Plays.
  • Take a few shots. It’s the last pro football game for awhile so have fun. Will there be a safety? Will there be overtime? Exact score by either team. All have big payoffs (and long odds).

Enjoy!

Go this a way for information on our 2011 (GB vs. Pitt) Big Game Parties

Big Game happenings at Station Casinos

  • $1 Hot Dogs and $1 Budweisers in all Station Casinos, Fiestas and Wildfires during the game!
  • Red Rock Resort has a hotel package deal that includes two tickets to its exclusive party for the Big Game
  • Sunset Station is hosting a Gridiron Finale Party at the Strike Zone Bowling Center. Admission is free with special prices on food and drinks, and prizes. Doors open at 2pm.

What’s your favorite prop bet for the game? How do you see the game going? Let us know below!

Las Vegas Nightlife: ‘Revolver’ loaded for Feb. 5 grand opening

January 21, 2010 By 1 Comment

Country cool, sexy and chic, Revolver's dance floor features Delilah, a 200-pound armadillo disco ball. The opening-night party on Feb. 5 at Santa Fe Station starts at 7pm.

While Revolver at Santa Fe Station is getting set to open, we say goodbye to Cherry at Red Rock Resort.

At risk of sounding unsentimental, this flip-flop of fates of two of our Las Vegas night clubs is often how things roll in the trendy, catch-lightning-in-a-bottle world of nightlife entertainment.

“The shelf life for clubs in Las Vegas is around two to three years. Cherry had a great four-year run but had run its course,” says Kyle ”Midnight” Markman of the Station Casinos Nightlife Group.

More Revolver pictures and info at the Station Casinos Nightlife website

For the record, Cherry Nightclub was part of the grand opening of the Red Rock Resort in April 2006. During its successful “run” it was the hot spot for nightlife in northwest Las Vegas and the Summerlin area. Plans for a new club at Red Rock are in the early planning stages. The next nightlife venue promises to be a “better fit for our current Summerlin clientele,” Markman said.

That leads us to Revolver, officially Revolver Dance Hall & Saloon, which is set for its big opening party on Friday, February 5 at Santa Fe Station. Tricia “Up All Night” Elder of the Nightlife Group paints Revolver as “Country with a twist, sexy and chic.” DJ music will be in the range of Carrie Underwood to The Black Eyed Peas. An amiable serving staff and well-priced drinks (Beergaritas!) to go with a giant armadillo (her name is Delilah) disco ball and mechanical bull set an unpretentious vibe.

Hours at Revolver are from 7pm to when the last man (woman) is still standing. (We’re thinking at least til 3am.) Covers on normal nights are $5 for women and $10 for men.

The weekly schedule at Revolver is running as follows:

  • Wednesdays: Wasted Wednesdays (ladies drink free until midnight)
  • Thursdays: Industry Night (bull-riding competitions)
  • Fridays: American BadAss Party ($1 shots of Jack, $1 Budweisers)
  • Saturdays: Dukes Night (ladies dressed Daisy-style drink free until midnight)

We know you miss Cherry. We know you’ll love Revolver!

What would you like to see in the next night club at Red Rock? Let us know below!

The handicapping tournament again serves as the new year’s first NHC Tour event.

The Red Rock Shootout is a one-day tournament that will carry an entry fee of $100 and have a limit of one entry per person. All contest entry fees will be returned to participants in the form of prize payouts to the top five finishers on a 50%-20%-15%-10%-5% basis. The top two finishers will also receive qualifying spots to the 2011 NHC. Top finishers will also be awarded points as part of the 2010 NHC Tour.

All players must be at least 21 years of age to participate in the Red Rock Shootout. Contestants must make eight mythical $2 win and place wagers from available contest tracks.

This year, more than 100,000 people are expected to attempt to qualify for the 2010 NHC at Red Rock Casino, Resort & Spa in Las Vegas. 

The NHC Tour is a yearlong bonus series offering additional prize money and qualifying berths to the DRF/NTRA National Handicapping Championship. Participants must pay an annual $125 registration fee. Tour members then receive NHC Tour points for top finishes in NHC qualifying events held during the year. Additional benefits for NHC Tour members include automatic enrollment in the Horseplayers’ Coalition.
