NPNY: [thebumpsquad] Prince is bringing Purple back....2 Vegas

Prince club in Vegas? A sure bet it's a winner

Prince is bringing purple back to Las Vegas, where he will open a
club at which he's expected to perform two nights every weekend.

Club 3121 is expected to open next month in the Rio Hotel  Casino
in a 30,000-square-foot space occupied by Club Rio. There has been
no official announcement.

There's no definite date, but we'll know more details in about two
weeks, said Howard Jung, a concierge at the Rio, which is best
known for Penn  Teller's popular show. The 3121.com website
promises a November opening and a menu of RB stars, including Chaka
Khan, Patti LaBelle, Floetry and such Twin Cities acts as Mint
Condition and Kip Blackshire.

Jung said that 3121, with a capacity of 1,500, will be open
Thursdays through Sundays. Thursdays will be Latin night. The place
also may have a restaurant.

This isn't Prince's first venture in the nightclub business. He co-
founded Glam Slam in 1990 in the Minneapolis warehouse district and
later opened Glam Slams in Los Angeles and Miami. The out-of-town
clubs closed, and the Minneapolis one is now called the Quest and
Prince hasn't been involved with it for years. Early on, he
occasionally performed at the Glam Slam clubs.

His Vegas club takes its name from his current CD, 3121, which was
released in March. After appearing on Saturday Night Live and
doing about a dozen gigs as sideman with his protégé Tamar, he was
expected to undertake a major concert tour this year but did not. He
obviously had other plans.

NPNY: Purple Party

My brother who lives out there in NYC and is part of an events planning
business is thinking about having a seriously purple Prince party at his
space in Manhattan. It would be a multi media interactive posh love
biaa experience as he put it...That means no jeans...Alot of
time and money would be spent getting the party right...Who would be
interested in something like this. He's looking at the Sat be4 Thanksgiving
most likely. I live in Hawaii but will be out visiting that entire week. I'm
being transferred to South Korea the first week of January and would like to
have one hell of a Prince party...Here's the link to the website for his
space http://www.avenyc.com/
Let me know what U think and if there's enough serious interest--it'll be
on! I know NewPowerNY is out there so I would love to hear from them and
include them in the planning...

 Prince Rolling The Dice With Vegas Club

 Jonathan Cohen, N.Y.
 Prince will open a nightclub at the Rio hotel in Las Vegas, which
 will host
 concerts by the artist as well as acts signed to his NPG label.
 Sources tell
 Billboard.com that Concerts West/AEG Live, producers of Prince's
 $90 million
 Musicology tour in 2004, will be working with the artist on the
 project,
 which will launch next month.

 A flash graphic on the Web site 3121.com, named after the artist's
 most
 recent studio album, includes the Rio plus photos of Prince and
 such artists
 acts as Sheila E, Maceo Parker, Floetry, Patti LaBelle, Esthero and
 Cee-Lo,
 although it is unclear what connection they have to the endeavor.

 It is also unknown how regularly Prince plans to perform at the venue
 formerly known as Club Rio, which has hosted a topless revue called
 Club
 Eroticka since February 2005.

 Prince has been off the road in 2006 but, as first reported here,
 unveils
 new music today (Oct. 31) on Atlantic's Happy Feet soundtrack.
 His Song
 of the Heart was written specifically for the film, which boasts
 the voice
 talents of Elijah Wood, Nicole Kidman, Hugh Jackman and Robin
 Williams.
