Revolver Review: Las Vegas Nightclub Gets Four-Spur Rating

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.

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.

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

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.

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!
