On Saturday, September 7th, 2024, the Las Vegas Strip shimmered with disco fever as Spiegelworld hosted a sensational dusk-to-dawn celebration for the World Premiere of DISCOSHOW and its accompanying culinary delight, Diner Ross, 99 Prince and The Glitterloft.
Guests, clad in their finest ‘nineteen seventy-fine’ attire, made their grand entrance on a red carpet that wound its way to a gleaming door—the portal to a new disco haven at 3535 Las Vegas Boulevard. A buzz filled the air, possibly fueled by the excitement of a seven-year anticipation since Spiegelworld first promised a groundbreaking disco-centric show.
Inside, DISCOSHOW didn’t just offer a show, but a complete journey through the disco era of downtown New York City. The venue features two eclectic bars and Diner Ross—a cozy spot serving up New York American cuisine masterfully crafted by Executive Culinary Director Anna Altieri of Superfrico fame. Guests first entered through 99 Prince, a gritty New York subway-inspired bar where Executive Beverage Director Niko Novick paid homage to classic New York cocktails. Above, the Glitterloft, inspired by David Mancuso’s legendary Loft parties, hosted the main event. The space, filled with balloons, captured the essence of Mancuso’s iconic gatherings.
Ross Mollison, Spiegelworld’s Impresario Extraordinaire, encapsulated the evening’s spirit, stating, “This is the beginning of a Las Vegas party that will go all night tonight, and for years to come. It’s disco—a love affair that started in 1970 and continues to thrive. We’re ready to share our love of disco with the world.”
After the show, as midnight struck, the stage welcomed two special guest DJs who bridged the past and future of disco. Nicky Siano, a disco pioneer from New York, and the London-based Horse Meat Disco, represented by founders Luke Howard and James Hillard, spun tracks that echoed through the ages, from the very origins of disco to its modern reinterpretations.
The night’s festivities extended until dawn. True to his promise, around 4 am, Ross Mollison turned chef, whipping up pancakes at Diner Ross for the hungry crowd.
The DISCOSHOW opening was more than just a premiere; it was a multi-sensory, disco-infused extravaganza that promised to be the beginning of many more unforgettable nights on the Las Vegas Strip.
