Looking for freedom from the mundane and oppressive? “Oddyssey Noir” has debuted just in time.

Located in a separate building at Area 15, it’s an endlessly imaginative “warehouse rave” experience, with two dance floors and multiple bar areas. As you wander through the labyrinthine space with nine themed rooms and enticing alcoves, there’s no shortage of artful eye candy here—thanks to the roving carnival and burlesque performers, dazzling electric sculptures, and circus-themed murals.

The space is dimly lit and fog machine-enhanced—everyone looks fabulously ageless, as it should be. The pumping house and techno sounds, curated by the Vegas electronic dance music radio station ViBE 99.7 FM, took everyone deeper into oblivion.

The crowd on opening night was all-inclusive—it felt like being at the NYC clubs at the dawn of disco before the velvet ropes at Studio 54 ushered in snobbery. “Oddyssey Noir” is billed as “the first iteration of our exclusive-access party series.” The next installment of this creative madness is Saturday, April 26.
