Foundation Room

One of the most exclusive clubs in town, you are not likely to find Foundation Room in any cheesy travel brochure. This lounge, a part of the House of Blues at Mandalay Bay, is mostly reserved for private events or members only access.

However, on Monday nights the Foundation Room is open to the public with “Godspeed” Mondays. To get to Foundation room, you must take a private elevator tp the 43rd floor. Don’t forget to dress your best because this club will be hard to get into. The best way to enjoy all the benefits that Foundation Room has to offer is by renting it out for a private gathering. There is a banquet hall, several lounge areas, a fireplace, and the staff at Foundation Room will accommodate pretty much any request!

Foundation Room is the perfect spot for a wedding party to enjoy a private rehearsal dinner or even a wedding reception. Smaller rooms seating 8-12 guests are also available for rent. The main lounge in Foundation Room is dressed like an old estate house. The furniture is classic and everything in the space looks antique. If you do have the privilege of entering this exclusive Las Vegas hot spot you just might spot someone famous as well.

BOB ANDERSON PLAYS SUMMERLIN

I've got to honest with you gang, I love entertainers no matter what they do - be it a stripper, an impressionist, a contortionist or anyone who tries to stand up in front of a group of people and entertain. It's not easy to get up there, believe me. One of my very favorites is a guy named Bob Anderson. This is a man who's been around so long he's actually had to replace his tux a couple of times. I first met him when he worked at the "Top of the Dunes." Now that was the "room" of all "rooms" in Las Vegas and, anybody who was anybody would drop in to watch him perform. Bob had signed for two (2) weeks and ended up staying for over four (4) years. In the late 70's he brought a 21 piece orchestra into the old Copa Room at the Sands Hotel. I was doing publicity at the time for the room. Anderson's show was a big hit, but the problem was the cost of renting the room. It was just a wee bit too much and Bob closed after two-weeks. But the show got great revues. Bob never looked back and went on the road working some of the great rooms of the world as an impressionist, jazz, pop or cabaret singer... The Plaza Hotel in New York, Tavern on the Green, The Rainbow Room and the Cinigrill Room at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles. You name it and Bob Anderson has been there. He returns to Las Vegas this coming Friday (the 18th) for a special three-night stint at the Summerlin Library Theatre, 1771 Inner Circle Drive in Summerlin. A member of the "Las Vegas Legends Hall of Fame," Bob will be performing in concert with the fabulous Vince Falcone Trio - Vince on piano, Chris Gordon Bass and Tim Pratt Drums. Just some of the songs being presented during his time on stage represents every facet of showbiz from Broadway to film. Songs like "Last Night When We Were Young", "Here and Now", "I Remember You", "Skylark" and of course one of the great songs, "In the Still of the Night." "It seems that today cabaret singer's are a fading commodity," Anderson said during a phone conversation. "I want to sing the music of the great composers such as Johnny Mercer, Johnny Mandel, Sammy Cahn and Michelle LeGrand... these are just a few of the greats who wrote beautiful notes. My show will be a lot of me with, of course, my impressions. Impressions put me on the marques of the world and will always be a part of my act. But I want to do more of me... my own voice!" Anderson, who has his own club in Branson, Mo. called "Club Vegas" will of course include impressions of Tony Bennett, The Rat Pack, Bobby Darin, Tom Jones and Robert Goulet to name just a few of those he will likely perform. Tickets priced at $24.95 plus tax may be purchased online at www.bobanderson.com or by calling 1-866-468-3399. Doors will open at 7 pm. with show time set for 8 pm. Be prepared to be royally entertained. Order your tickets now! Just a reminder that the Grant Griffin Concert at The Orleans Hotel will be getting here real soon - Tuesday, March 8.
