| 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.

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, Let me know below what you think about Revolver. |
