You say you want a revolution? Look no further than Revolution Lounge at the Mirage, where the legacy of The Beatles lives on in the form of a contemporary nightclub.

With its modern twist on '60s psychedelic imagery, sound and decor, Revolution Lounge reflects the true multigenerational influence of legendary musicians Paul McCartney, John Lennon, George Harrison and Ringo Starr.

A subtle Beatles motif permeates the venue, from Yellow Submarine-inspired portholes behind the bar to the 30,000 dichroic crystals adorning the ceiling in the spirit of "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds." Cocktail waitresses in go-go attire serve up specialty drinks like English Breakfast and Strawberry Fields.

While inspired by the Beatles era of self expression and free love, the primary influence behind Revolution Lounge actually comes from its creator, the Montreal-based entertainment company, Cirque du Soleil. The lounge serves as the perfect complement to Cirque's Beatles retrospective "LOVE," at the hotel-casino.

"'LOVE' acted as a catalyst," said Bill Hillman, director of operations for Revolution Lounge. "The theme for the lounge specifically came from 'LOVE.'"

Revolution may not change the world, but it will definitely change people's perceptions of ultra lounges.

When planning Revolution, Cirque's Senior Director of Creation Jean-Francois Bouchard envisioned more than just a hip spot to hang out. He wanted to provide an interactive experience for guests.

Inspired by the graffiti found on a brick wall outside The Beatles' Abbey Road Studios in London, Bouchard found a way to put infrared technology to an innovative new use. He repackaged it into seven VIP tables that allow guests to create colorful tabletop graffiti using their fingers or other objects. That artwork can then be projected onto a central diamond-shaped column in the lounge.

Angela Weiss, a host for Revolution Lounge, has the unique job of choosing which artwork is projected onto the column. Weiss goes from table to table – where graffiti artists have included Laurence Fishburne, Tommy Lee, Kevin Federline and Slash – choosing artwork like a curator decorating a hip, post-Modern museum.

"We see some amazingly creative, funny stuff," said Weiss, noting that men will often try to use the tables as a method for picking up women. "They'll write, 'Call me' followed by their phone number, or 'Meet me on the dance floor,' or they'll write that their table needs girls.

"A lot of people draw peace sings, but mostly people write their names or 'I love so-and-so.' I'm still waiting on a marriage proposal."

The music at Revolution Lounge also bends the spectrum of ordinary expectations with guest DJs, including celebrities, spinning a progressive mix of house, rock, electronic, new wave and British pop genres. The musical themes change night by night, but original Beatles' music and covers of Beatles' songs can be heard from noon to 10 p.m. daily.

Before stopping in to experience the lounge, guests can grab a few drinks out front at the Abbey Road Bar or people-watch through gaps in the 10-foot tall letters R-E-V-O-L-U-T-I-O-N that comprise the bar and lounge's front wall. At the entrance to the actual lounge, a wall of Beatles' lyrics spreads the group's message of love with quotes from several of their groundbreaking compositions.

Those 10-foot tall letters have themselves caused quite a stir at the Mirage and are turning into a major photo spot for tourists, Hillman said.

"They're the kind of thing you would expect to see on top of a building in downtown L.A., not right in the middle of the casino," he explained.

Whether you experienced the original outbreak of Beatlemania or have only recently discovered the group's powerful music and message, fans now have a spot in Las Vegas to "come together" and feel fine.
