Looking for a Friday night escape that feels nothing like the typical Vegas club scene? Let me introduce you to The Get Down — a weekly party tucked inside the Shag Room at Virgin Hotels Las Vegas that’s become one of my favorite discoveries this year.
Step Into a 1960s Moroccan Fantasy
The moment you walk through those doors, you’re transported. Persian rugs scattered across the floor. Flowing curtains creating intimate spaces. Low, cushy seating that makes you want to sink in and stay awhile. It’s moody, glamorous, and feels like a secret you stumbled upon rather than another velvet-rope Vegas venue.
The Vibe Is Everything
What sets The Get Down apart is the musical curation. Top DJs spin an irresistible mix of neo-soul, funk, disco, and R&B. The kind of tracks that get your head nodding whether you’re on the dance floor or lounging with a cocktail. And the craft cocktail program here? Excellent. These aren’t your standard vodka-sodas. Expect creative, well-balanced drinks that match the retro atmosphere.
Don’t miss the photo booth either. My group took full advantage, and trust me, you’ll want those memories of your Moroccan-fantasy night out.
