Washington D.C. businessman and nightlife guru David Castain is expanding into Bethesda, opening the new V.I.P. Outdoor apparel store at Westfield Montgomery Mall.
Now if I can just ever convince the right people to build an upscale, Las Vegas-style nightclub and lounge here in Bethesda, he might be in town even more often, putting on the kinds of events he currently promotes in the District.
What is your fascination with "upscale Las Vegas style" entertainment? What would you consider to be that type of entertainment? Is there are market for it? Is there a location for it? Can it be found elsewhere in DC?
ReplyDeleteTao and Pure would be examples of what I'm referring to in Las Vegas. Upscale venues, great events, VIP service, C-list celebrity hosts, hefty prizes for contests, DJs you've heard of making guest appearances, etc.
DeleteThere is the money and market here, but no one has tapped into it yet. The most logical location would be within a future downtown Bethesda hotel.
The magazines keep writing us up as being the Richest Town in America, and a lot of celebrities pass through the DC area, so why not have a venue that matches the hype?
I agree. I shop in Montgomery Mall a lot. I'd love a nice Vegas style entertainment venue at the mall.
