Saving
the best for last, the Nightclub and Bar Convention concluded the three-day
convention with the Platinum Party at XS Las Vegas, ranked the number one club
in the Top 100 and the first venue to ever achieve the honor four times.
After
stealing the show at the convention, attendees anxiously walked the red carpet
for a private opening event where they were able to get an up-close look at the
luxurious club. As attendees sipped drinks, networked and enjoyed the final
party of the week, Jon Taffer, star of Bar Rescue and Nightclub and Bar
president, was in for a surprise of his own.
XS’
Executive Director of Nightlife Marketing Ronn Nicolli cut the music and took
over the mic as he called Taffer on-stage. As confetti rained down on a shocked
Taffer, the XS executive staff led the model cocktail servers with their light
wands waving in the air to the stage. Once the procession was complete, Jesse
Waits, Nicolli, John Wood and Yannick Mugnier presented Jon with a gold trophy
and a Lifetime Achievement Award. The plaque honors Jon’s career, which has
been devoted to leadership in the hospitality industry, providing vision and
guidance to nightclub and bar owners across the country. The five friends
talked about the convention while posing for photos and enjoyed the night
together.
Once
the private party ended, David Guetta stepped up to the DJ booth as many guests
joined party goers who flocked to the dance floor and celebrated into the early
morning hours.
