LAS
VEGAS, Nov. 28, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Two icons in
hospitality and entertainment -- superstar singer, songwriter,
producer and musician Bruno Mars and
the legendary Bellagio Resort & Casino -- join
forces to introduce The Pinky Ring, a one-of-a-kind cocktail lounge
and jazz bar in the heart of the Las Vegas Strip in early 2024.
Bruno Mars said, "I've been
performing in Vegas for years, and I've always wanted a place where
I could throw glamorous parties when I'm in town. A place that felt
like my personal penthouse suite, with live music and sensational
cocktails. The Pinky Ring is that."
Ari Kastrati, MGM Resorts
International's' Chief Hospitality Officer, said, "There's
nobody in the world as fabulous as Bruno
Mars. It's been a fun experience to let him take the reins
to reimagine this space. From the carpet to the ceiling, this
is all him. As we celebrate Bellagio's 25th anniversary
this year and look toward the future, collaborating with one of the
entertainment industry's biggest stars to reimagine what a night
out in Las Vegas should be
represents an incredible moment in this resort's story."
Moody lighting, live music, DJs spinning vinyls, a specialty bar
program and best-in-class audio will be the backdrop for an
incredible night out at The Pinky Ring.
Located centrally on Bellagio's casino floor, in
the former Lily Bar & Lounge
space, The Pinky Ring will open in early 2024. Additional details
will be shared in the coming months.
About Bruno
Mars
Fourteen-time GRAMMY-Award winner and 30-time
GRAMMY Award nominee Bruno Mars is a
celebrated singer, songwriter, producer, and musician who has sold
over 200 million singles worldwide, making him one of the
best-selling artists of all time. Mars accepted Album Of The Year
(An Evening with Silk Sonic) on behalf of the duo, Silk Sonic,
during the 2022 BET Awards.
Previously sweeping the 64th Annual GRAMMY Awards, the super duo
took home four awards including Record Of The Year ("Leave The Door
Open"), Song Of The Year ("Leave The Door Open"), Best R&B
Performance ("Leave The Door Open"), and Best R&B Song ("Leave
The Door Open"). This came after "Leave The Door Open" became Mars'
17th song to reach Multi-Platinum status.
Mars' 64th Annual GRAMMY win for Record of the Year, made him
only the second artist in GRAMMY history to win the category three
times, following Simon and Garfunkel.
Mars' critically acclaimed "Leave The Door Open" climbed its'
way from No. 3 to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it his
eighth No. 1. He became one of the 18 artists in Hot 100 history to
ever do so. 24K Magic marked his highest first week sales
debut, remaining in the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 for an
impressive 44 consecutive weeks. The lead hit single "24K Magic" is certified five-times Platinum by
the RIAA and the follow-up smash, "That's What I Like" is certified
ten-times platinum. "That's What I Like" also climbed to No. 1
on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Mars' seventh Hot 100
chart-topper and his first No. 1 on the Hot R&B Songs chart,
where it remained at the top-spot for 19 consecutive weeks.
His smash collab with Cardi B, "Finesse," skyrocketed to #3 on
the Billboard Hot 100. The track surged up the chart from its #35
debut and followed Michael Jackson's
"Black or White" as the second #35 to #3jump in the Hot 100's
history. The remix also marked Mars' fifteenth Hot 100 top 10 and
fourteenth Hot 100 top 5.
Additionally, Mars became the first male and third act overall
to have at least three top 5 Hot 100 hits from each of his first
three albums, following only Mariah
Carey and Beyoncé. Mars is also the first artist to have two
songs spend 24 or more weeks in the Hot 100's Top 5 ("That's What I
Like" and "Uptown Funk"). Honorably, Mars is one of the few artists
to have written and produced all of his No. 1 hits and has had a
No. 1 song on the Hot 100 from each of his first three studio
albums.
With seven Hot 100 No. 1's, Mars was ranked No. 1 among male
artists with the most Hot 100 No. 1s for this decade, extending his
lead over Justin Bieber, Drake,
Eminem, and The Weeknd. Mars traveled the globe from 2017-2018
on a massive 24K Magic World Tour,
which sold more than 1 million tickets in a single day. In 2015,
Mars dominated music charts with the hit single "Uptown Funk,"
which took home three GRAMMY Awards, including Record of the
Year.
