It’s been a century since F. Scott Fitzgerald introduced the world to Jay Gatsby and his glittering West Egg soirées. While the era may be long gone, the spirit is very alive and thriving at Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge.
On Friday, April 11, at 10 p.m., Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge, known for throwing epic themed events, will relive the past to an era of jazz, champagne towers, and all-night revelry for a one-night-only, exclusive celebration called the Return of the Gatz. The event, which will honor the 100th anniversary of Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby,” is an opportunity to experience the lavishness of the Roaring ’20s in true Las Vegas fashion.
A Party Fitzgerald Would Applaud
Forget the velvet rope — Return of the Gatz is the kind of party where a love of luxury and flair go hand in hand. It all starts with looking the part. Come in a flapper dress, a pinstripe suit, or a feathered headpiece to receive a complimentary cocktail upon arrival.
Once inside, you’ll be transported to Roaring ’20s opulence, with Art Deco details, vintage glamour, and champagne flowing through the lounge. Everything from the carpet underfoot to the chandeliers above echoes the Jazz Age’s extravagant vibe, promising a night of excitement and wonder.
Red Penny Arcade, a genre-blending jazz band that fuses vintage swing with modern hits, will entertain through the night. Their high-energy, postmodern style will keep the room buzzing, whether they’re covering Beyoncé or Duke Ellington. Longtime Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge favorite DJ KiD FuNK will also spin an open-format set.
Champagne Dreams, Signature Cocktails
When it comes to drinks, Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge goes above and beyond with its beverage program. In addition to sipping on popular, Instagram-worthy cocktails like the Champagne Bubble Bath and the Lavender Lotus offered on its regular drink menu, the lounge will feature specialty options inspired by “The Great Gatsby,” adding a literary twist to its imaginative menu.
Location, Details, and Reservations
Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge is inside The District at Resorts World Las Vegas, just steps from the casino floor. The celebration starts at 10 p.m. and is open to ages 21 and older.

A Legacy Worth Celebrating
Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge stands out by embracing timeless elegance. It’s not just a nod to the Roaring ’20s; it’s a fully immersive experience that reminds us why Gatsby’s world still captivates us 100 years later.

Scott Fitzgerald wrote in “The Great Gatsby,” “Can’t repeat the past? Why, of course, you can.” And on April 11 in Las Vegas, the past is back in full swing.
