SpyOnVegas.com aims to ‘revolutionize’ happy hour with Open Bar
November 10th, 2006
Las Vegas has a new happy hour at 45 different locations – and no, it’s not a PT’s Pub promotion.
SpyOnVegas.com – one of the largest online nightlife communities in Las Vegas – is the co-sponsor of a new daily promotion called “Open Bar.” Envisioned as a business and social networking opportunity for “young, aspiring professionals and socialites,” the event will run from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. five days a week, each night at a different venue. A different spirit will be showcased at each location, courtesy of Southern Wine and Spirits.
“From Guy Savoy and Stripsteak to PT’s and Beauty Bar, the selected beverage will match the venue,” says David Burns of Wendoh Media, the parent company of SpyOnVegas.com.
Burns says the idea for “Open Bar” came from a recent story run in the Las Vegas Review-Journal that suggested people who socialize after work earn 25 percent higher incomes.
As many of the events will take place in high-profile locations – such as first-week venues Stack (at the Mirage) and Rouge (at MGM Grand) – it seems SpyOnVegas.com and Southern Wine and Spirits could be stuck giving away free libations to throngs of tourists wandering through the bars during the happy hours. Burns says he isn’t worred.
“There will be some losses,” he says, “but they will weed themselves out eventually.”
The events will be captured by SpyOnVegas.com’s photographers and posted on the website the following morning of each event. As well, the schedule of locations and featured beverages will be posted on the website each morning, as well as announced on local radio stations 94.1-FM (The Mix) and 107.9-FM (Area 108).
