Global design studio Yabu Pushelberg has collaborated with singer-songwriter Bruno Mars to design The Pinky Ring, a cocktail lounge and live music venue at the heart of Las Vegas' Bellagio Resort and Casino, filled with decadence and grandeur.
At The Pinky Ring, Las Vegas, no phones are allowed
The cocktail lounge’s central interior theme has a 1970s vibe, from the deep-set furnishings to the no-phones policy. The furniture curves around the space, soft velvets marrying with marble table tops to create a sense of opulent comfort. A mirrored passageway decorated with Bruno Mars’ Grammy Award collection leads guests into the secluded space.
The muted interior hues are intended as a soothing respite from the vibrancy of Las Vegas. The bar and lounge have independent colour palettes of contrasting greens and browns, while a sunken conversation pit is the retro centrepiece of the 5,000 sq ft space. Each area exudes a debonair feel.
The Pinky Ring’s strict no-phones policy encourages guests to enjoy the moment, while low lighting inspired by mellow music videos helps set a sensual mood.
Yabu Pushelberg founders George Yabu and Glenn Pushelberg said of the project, ‘There is this decadent, outrageous fantasy surrounding Las Vegas and how it can be experienced; The Pinky Ring brings that to life. With Bruno, we designed the bar and lounge as an opulent adult playground, with an attitude reminiscent of a 1970s penthouse party.'
