dallas | high thrive.

summer may be over but your social calendar is more than lively. in fact, it's learning to thrive at this new nightclub at downtown's crowne plaza hotel.

think vegas meets the big D in this luxurious spot for the night-crawling elite. owners patricia and terry tognazzini have thought of everything in renovating this former theater into a lounge. the result? location, location, location. and drama. house-crafted custom drinks complete the menu, and state-of-the art lighting, metallic wall coverings and a ceiling design created with stretched reflective vinyl (a concept from paris, no less) make for a stunning visual effect. the DJ booth will be boasting locals and celeb spinners to help you light up the dance floor (which is another customized eye-catcher). there are comfy booths for biding the dance-moves "see ya later," as well as a private lounge set behind blocked glass for the VIP in you.

you'd say downtown nightlife is thriving. thrive. at the crowne plaza hotel. 1015 elm street at the crowne plaza hotel. 214.742.5678. opens soon. www.ichotelsgroup.com
