Studio 54 (Las Vegas)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Studio 54 opened in Las Vegas in December of 1997 at the MGM Grand. Designed to be a replica of the original club, it has most of the original elements and equipment, including the "Man in the Moon" and the spoon - however the two are never displayed together.
The club was visited on opening night by Elton John, one of the most frequent guests at the original location. Celebrity visitors have included Cher[citation needed], Michael Jackson,[citation needed] Bruce Willis,[citation needed] Magic Johnson,[citation needed] Colin Farrell,[citation needed] Carmen Electra,[citation needed] Flavor Flav,[citation needed] Wyclef Jean,[citation needed] Lil' Jon,[citation needed] Kim Kardashian,[citation needed] Nicole Richie,[citation needed] Lindsay Lohan,[citation needed] and Paris Hilton[citation needed].
It has since become one of Las Vegas' most popular dance clubs, with a reputation for a strict door policy, but not as strict as the originals.[citation needed] However, the newer site is cause for contention amongst fans of the original location, who have charged that the Las Vegas venue is nothing more than Studio 54 in name only.[citation needed]
The venue is mentioned in the song Vegas Two Times by the Stereophonics.
