Crown Nightclub Review

Industry veteran Darin Feinstein brings Crown Theater and Crown Nightclub to the Rio this summer in the former 3121 space. Feinstein, who purchased the world-famous The Viper Room from actor Johnny Depp, is hoping to put the Rio venue back on the Vegas map with a mix of live concerts and nightlife events.

"The location has hosted both nightclub and headliner performances featuring world-class entertainment including the legendary Prince," said Gary Selesner, president of Rio. "We are thrilled to launch a new offering combining the best of live music and late night entertainment. Crown will appeal to locals and visitors alike, serving as the perfect complement to the diverse roster of Rio resort amenities."

In the early evening, the Crown Theater will play host to some big names, while giving up-and-comers a chance to shine as well. As the night progresses, so does the venue, becoming Crown Nightclub, a nightlife spot away from the Strip providing a mix of themed nights with a variety of music. The multi-tiered venue features VIP seating around the arch of each level, complete with low-slung, modern furnishings, giving way to a panoramic view of the venue.

"My venue, The Viper Room, hosted some of the top live performances in Los Angeles, ranging from Queens of the Stone Age to Shiny Toy Guns -- here at Crown Las Vegas, we'll showcase a similar lineup of quality acts" said Feinstein. "For nightlife, after the various concert series, you can look forward to a themed venue night hosted by one of the top domestic or international DJs. It's important to remember that The Rio hosted one of the top concert/nightclub venues in the country for more than a decade; we're looking forward to being part of its resurgence."
