There's a Beatles Revolution Under Way in Las VegasThere's a Beatles Revolution under way in Las Vegas, where The Mirage recently inaugurated a lounge created by a team of Montreal designers under the direction of Jean- François Bouchard, Cirque's Director of Creation.
It's a space bursting with innovations in multimedia graphics and technology.
To form his team, Jean-François Bouchard called on the architect Stéphanie Cardinal of Humà Design, Nol Van Genuchten for lighting, the Moment Factory for the design of the "animated walls," Vertigo's Bill Keays for the design of the interactive tables and DJ Alain Vinet for the music.
Together, they began to lay down the key concepts that would form the basis for the project.
Taking their cue from the 1960s, they decided to emphasize elements such as the transition from black and white to colour, supreme love, the psychedelic graphics and the return to handmade objects, among other things.
To get to the Revolution Lounge, you have to go through the Abbey Road Bar.
Open 24 hours a day, the bar is both a reference point and a gathering spot.
Between the two, giant letters three metres (10') high spell out "Revolution."
Patrons can even sit in the curve of some of the letters, four of which are inverted to spell "LOVE" backwards.
On the wall, the Moment Factory has revived graffiti from the actual Abbey Road.
