Sam Nazarians sbe will expand the successful Hyde Lounge nightlife brand into Las Vegas at the Bellagio Resort & Casino. Occupying the Fontana Bar location and overlooking the iconic fountains, Hyde Lounge Bellagio-slated to open New Year’s Eve-is a vision of Nazarian and Philippe Starck. Architect/designer Gulla Jonsdottir of G+ Design will collaborate on the 12,000-square-foot indoor/outdoor venue, designed to evoke the legendary nightclubs of St. Tropez such as La Caves and Billionaires Club.
Construction of the lounge/nightclub will begin at the end of May 2011, coinciding with an upcoming renovation to Hyde Lounge Hollywood.
