BOURBON ST. PARADE TO OPEN THIS FALL IN LAS VEGAS
High-Energy Bar Destination Captures History, Culture, Spirit of New Orleans
Bourbon St. Parade, the high-energy bar experience paying homage to the rich history, culture, music and spirit of New Orleans, announces it will open on the Las Vegas Strip this fall. The first-of-its-kind destination will feature all-day, every-day live New Orleans music, a cocktail program deeply rooted in NOLA heritage and a lively, “come-as-you-are” atmosphere celebrating New Orleans’ beloved traditions.
Inspired by the celebrations in the French Quarter, Bourbon St. Parade will feature daily second line parades – a marching brass band led by an over-the-top grand marshal that amasses a following of onlookers-turned-participants dancing, waving handkerchiefs and twirling parasols, that grows by the minute. The second line parades will commence every 90 minutes and bystanders are always encouraged to join.
“My experience with New Orleans’ rich culture and legendary music inspired me to share this NOLA entertainment and cocktail destination, where guests can drink, dine, dance and party in a parade!” said Jason Boso, founder, Bourbon St. Parade. “Soon, Las Vegas residents and visitors will get to have the authenticity of the best culture in America–the New Orleans’ culture of food, music, parades and cocktails–without having to leave Sin City.”
To preserve genuine aspects of New Orleans locality and culture, Bourbon St. Parade teamed up with some of NOLA’s finest musicians to host auditions and conduct intensive training in jazz and swing styles from the Big Easy. Alongside their carefully curated house players, special guest musicians will be featured regularly.
Bourbon St. Parade will offer an array of draft cocktails, including frozen Irish coffee and a few tempting surprises. Patrons can also experience unique libations, such as the signature Dreamsicle Fizz made with a Crawley’s Imperial Cocktail Shaker inspired by 18th-century, hand-cranked shakers. On select bar drinks, guests will have the ability to order custom printed images as an edible topper for an additional charge. In addition to signature cocktails, Bourbon St. Parade will feature a NOLA favorite culinary tradition – hearty and savory red beans and rice for just $5.
For private and corporate events, Bourbon St. Parade will offer private and semi-private event spaces. Second line parades will also be available to perform at special occasions at the venue and beyond.
Bourbon St. Parade will be located at 3619 Las Vegas Blvd. South, Ste. 100, at Grand Bazaar Shops in front of Horseshoe Las Vegas on the Las Vegas Strip. Admission to Bourbon St. Parade is free and will be reserved for patrons 21 years old and older. Additional information and Bourbon St. Parade’s opening date will be announced shortly.
