Top 20 Most Successful Night Clubs of 2011, Vegas Dominates List
For all you avid club goers and hopeful Roxburians, Nightclub & Bar magazine has just published a list of the most successful nightclubs from across the United States. 12 of the top 20 clubs on the list reside in Sin City, with the top most grossing club being Marquee Nightclub & Dayclub, a multi-level venue that’s been open less than a year and boasts revenue in excess of $70 million.
Apart from Marquee’s proper alignment with quality EDM acts and solid recurring performances from notable artists, the club’s dual night and day club presence definitely allows for more revenue opportunity at a time when other establishments on the list are closed for business.
The list, developed by Nightclub & Bar and aided by hospitality research firm Technomic, shows that the Top 100 high-volume bars and clubs around the nation generated $1.4 billion, a 9.2% increase from the numbers published a year prior. Looks like even in a “down economy” people still find their way to the club, find their way to the bar, and find their way to pricey table service.
The next few clubs on the list are also serious Las Vegas mainstayers, ala XS and TAO, two clubs with extremely different vibes but similar revenue numbers. TAO boasts similarly popular day club features in the form of TAO Beach.
LIV nightclub out in Miami Beach breaks the top 5 list with an estimated $35-55 million in revenue. Apart from Nevada and Florida, the only other states represented in the top 20 are California, Maryland, New York and New Jersey.
