A Lavish Tribute to the King of Rock-and-Roll
|
Brought to life by a partnership with the legendary acrobatics troupe Cirque du
Soleil and The Light Group, the Gold Lounge at the Aria was a must-see for Vegas
visitors. A tribute to the rock-and-roll King, Gold Lounge was located right outside
the Cirque du Soleil Viva Elvis theater. However, don’t expect to be assaulted with
the usual cheesy Elvis memorabilia which decorates most Elvis themed establishments.
GOLD was a class act ultra-lounge, giving tribute to the King by taking
inspiration in its design and color palate from the Graceland mansion while exuding
a sense of class and sophistication. Gold Lounge was a relaxing, socially and
artistically stimulating environment which provided a great alternative to the
louder nightclub venues found on The Strip. Clusters of comfortable chairs and
couches were scattered throughout the 3,756 square foot space in a way that
was designed to stimulate conversation among guests.

The name “Gold Lounge” is inspired by the color that was dominant in Elvis’ house and
in his life. Elvis was also the first artist of his genre to receive Gold records for
his songs. A great alternative to the pulsating vibe of a vibrant nightclub, GOLD
Lounge allows its guests to enjoy cocktails in an unrivaled space that transports
guest into a relaxing and unwinding state of mind complimented by the artistic and
visually arresting scene all around.
Inspired by Elvis Presley’s Graceland, the lounge’s modern décor consists of
design patterns found within the various rooms of the rock ‘n’ roll legend’s Memphis
mansion a black and gold color palate that exude sophistication and a sense of rich
refinement that was conceptualized to capture the essense of Elvis in a 21st century,
sultry design. Its long sleek bar (which has the same shape as the bar located in
Elvis’ house in Graceland) and strategically positioned clusters of seating are
designed to stimulate conversation and promote social interaction amongst all
visitors.
All walls, including the bar, railings and pillars, are covered in gold brass
with a creative design pattern in each of the windows and circular salons. The venue
is furnished with high-end Italian black leather furniture. The monkey wall panels
allow a maximum of interaction and transparency with the exterior of the lounge. There
are monkeys incorporated in the pattern of wall panels in reference to book holders in
the shape of golden little monkeys in Elvis’ house. And in a nod to Elvis’ passion for
horses, a life-size horse-shaped lamp welcomes guests at the entrance, in reference to
an actual small lamp in the same shape that can be seen in his Graceland house and
representing the stables in which Presley spent much of his time.
The Retro Modern boutique lounge offers ARIA guests the ultimate spot to sip on
hand-crafted cocktails and indulge in contemporary American appetizers before Cirque
du Soleil’s Viva ELVIS production. Likewise, it’s an ideal late-night destination to
party into the early morning hours while experiencing Las Vegas’ hottest DJs. The
GOLD Lounge offers rich history housed within a modern design, and iced with premier
service.
The Gold Lounge is portrayed and designed as the place where Elvis would hang out
after a show or while out on the town. Guests can enjoy the Gold Lounge for
pre/post-show cocktails, after-dinner drinks and also for nighttime club parties. The
