Look Inside Float Dubai, the World’s Largest Floating Nightclub
When the Queen Elizabeth 2 first set sail in 1967, the ocean liner was commissioned for world cruises and was later transitioned into a shorter distance vessel. After being acquired by Dubai’s royal family in 2008, it has now been transformed into the world’s largest floating nightclub. Aptly named Float Dubai, the nautical nightclub is the pinnacle of chic. Located in the commercial port of Rashid, the new club can host 1,000 attendees at a time. This exceeds the onboard hotel’s capacity, as it only has 216 rooms. Float Dubai (via Facebook) It’s free to enter Float Dubai, but you’re going to have to pay up for bottle service. According to the The Times, a reservation comes with a requisite minimum bar tab of $1,100 and bottles of Dom Perignon start...
Meet Nebula, Manhattan’s Biggest Nightclub to Open Since 2020
Something big is coming to New York City’s 10036. The biggest, actually, since before the pandemic. This weekend, a brand new nightclub called Nebula will open in the heart of Times Square with performances from GORDO (Carnage’s house music alias) and Purple Disco Machine. It will be the largest nightlife space to open in the city for over a year. Featuring a 5,500-square foot dance floor and a moving ceiling built out with video panels, the venue’s specs are practically unmatched when it comes to Manhattan nightlife. And, with a maximum capacity of only 700 people, clubbers should be able to avoid being packed like sardines. Also taking the stage at Nebula this month will be Malaa on October 28th and Camelphat on October 30th. The club...

Immediate Future of Las Vegas Nightlife Uncertain After Casinos Reestablish Mask Mandate
Every Las Vegas gambler’s poker face just got much stronger after a trio of major casinos reestablished mask mandates. After the Southern Nevada Health District (SNHD) announced new guidelines urging individuals to wear masks regardless of their vaccination status, The Venetian, Palazzo and Sands Expo & Convention Center announced policy changes requiring employees to wear face coverings amid a surge of COVID-19 infections in Clark County. The news arrives on the heels of a bleak report issued by the White House COVID-19 Response Team last week, which singled out Las Vegas as the worst city in the nation in terms of COVID-19 transmission among metro areas with more than one million people. According to local CBS affiliate KLAS-TV, Clark County—by far Nevada’s larg...
Top Salt Lake City Nightclub Responds to Allegations of Homophobic Incident That Led to “Traumatic Brain Injury”
A leading Salt Lake City nightclub is under fire after an alleged assault that one attendee says sent her to the hospital with a “traumatic brain injury.” The incident took place at Sky SLC, which hosted an event on June 6th that was sponsored by the Utah Pride Center. The attendee, Jenny Fu, alleges that a bartender directed homophobic comments toward three of her friends, who are queer. After Fu objected to the language, she claims the bartender proceeded to call the club’s security guards in to “intimidate” her before she was forcibly removed. According to Fu, who believes she was singled out in part for her Asian heritage, four security guards assaulted her near the club’s entrance, where they “threw and shoved [her] to the cement.” ...
Chicago Councilman Proposes 24-Hour House Music Clubs
Chicago is known around the world as the birthplace of house music. Despite that fact, however, the city apparently does not have any late-night clubs. City Alderman Carlos Ramirez-Rosa recognizes that problem, and is seeking to change it. “House music was born in Chicago,” he tweeted on May 31st. “I’ve met many tourists who are shocked to learn Chicago has no late-night House music clubs. We should consider allowing two 24-hour nightclubs (one downtown/northside, one southside) to tap into the international market for Chicago House music.” While the idea of two nonstop house music clubs will undoubtedly be appealing to any clubber, Ramirez-Rosa also highlights the impact such venues would have on Chicago’s tourism sector and the revenue that could be ge...
France’s Nightlife Sector Remains Shuttered While Strip Clubs Reopen
As France continues to ease pandemic restrictions Members of French Parliament are pointing out a perceived flaw in the government’s strategy: the decision to keep nightclubs closed while reopening swinger’s clubs. May 19th marks the next milestone on France’s path to normalcy as movie theaters, retail locations, and museums have been given the green light to reopen, leaving nightclubs among the last types of establishments to still remain shut. France’s nightlife sector came to a screeching halt over 14 months ago and according to one MP, the closures have resulted in a loss of 45,000 jobs and counting. Blue Night Things get even messier with proper context, however, as May 19th will also allow many swinger’s clubs to reopen. This is due to the fa...
UK Nightclub Study Hosts First Lawful Gathering in Over a Year With No Social Distancing, 3,000-Capacity
The UK suffered the highest pandemic death toll in all of Europe, but the nation’s reopening strategy is moving forward with promise amid a high rate of vaccinations. Large-scale events have been on ice for over a year, but depending on the results of a new series of test events taking place in the UK, the region’s nightlife sector could be back in action in the near future. On Friday Liverpool’s Circus nightclub drew 3,000 attendees for an event designed to study the spread of COVID-19 among a non-socially distanced population, according to the Associated Press. Attendees had to produce a negative test prior to the event, but once inside they were free to dance, mingle, and enjoy performances from Jayda G and Lewis Boardman, all without masks. Thousa...
