Description: Shelter has been reincarnated into a two-level playground for the young and affluent. Just like Madonna, it stays ahead of the curve by constantly reinventing itself, effectively creating a new club in the same space every three months.
With a rep for being raw and salacious, the Strip’s latest haunt is a definite must-go for anyone looking to make the scene. In the beginning, it had the feel of a gothic palace with black walls, bondage art, and sexy waitresses in torn, black leather outfits and feathery fauxhawks. But, much like we did in ninth grade, Shelter got over the goth look. It was then transformed into a Nordic lodge with a working fireplaces, fur-covered furniture and waitresses in outfits that show off their bunny slopes. Now, it has the feel of a St. Tropez discotheque with white walls, vinyl furniture, spacious patios and waitresses dressed in tight white outfits perfect for a night out on the Riviera. The getup is so convincing, you almost expect to see Brigitte Bardot (circa 1969) when you turn the corner. While people shake it on the dance floor in the main room, the real action happens in the downstairs lounge, where people aren’t afraid to let loose and indulge in a little debauchery.
