The venue boasts a massive 120-square-meter LED wall that creates stunning visual displays, while over 150 lighting units work together to craft an immersive atmosphere that rivals any evening club.
The crystal-clear sound comes courtesy of the latest L’Acoustics sound system, ensuring every beat reaches you with perfect clarity whether you’re on the main dance floor or relaxing in the exclusive Backstage VIP area. Table service adds an extra touch of luxury for those wanting to combine sightseeing with sophisticated entertainment.
