Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, has opened several of his 40/40 clubs throughout the country, with the latest to be in The Palazzo, which is an extension to the existing resort The Venetian.
In a press release, Carter said, "We represent what the entertainment capital of the world is all about, it’s only natural that we open here."
he Las Vegas club will have 85 plasma screens TV’s, five VIP rooms, 24kt gold and platinum floors, five 40-foot bi-level bars throughout, and an additional 3,000 square foot outdoor bar and lounge area. The construction bill for the glamour set’s newest hang reportedly tops US$20million.
