NORTHFIELD, Ohio, March 10, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park is bringing a little magic to its venue. And comedy. And acoustic acts entertainment, too. It's all part of the exciting new Club Velvet, opening March 20.
The Club will partner with The Comedy Zone, one of the largest comedy club chains in the country, to book the best comedic talent in the nation, another step toward making Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park the heart of Northeast Ohio's premier gaming, entertainment and dining destinations.
"Hard Rock's reputation as an industry leader fits perfectly with The Comedy Zone's dedication to providing the best comedy experience in America," says Brian Heffron, President Heffron Talent International The Comedy Zone. "We are proud to work with the Rocksino team to present the top comedians in the country to the area."
Jon Lucas, Hard Rock Rocksino Northfield Park President, says "Comedy Zone at Club Velvet is comedy done right. Any seat is a best seat to laugh the night away. It's an upscale, intimate environment, allowing the audience to see acts in a comfortable, up-close, personal setting."
Club Velvet showcases sparkling crystal chandeliers in front of ceiling-to-floor, red velvet drapes that frame the performance stage. The room also features state-of-the-art sound and audio visual enhancements, including two 10-foot retractable viewing screens on each side of the stage. Cocktail tables and chairs and love seats allow for an intimate setting, while indulging in Club Velvet's own American fare menu. Open nightly, Thursday through Sunday, Club Velvet can accommodate 310 guests.
And that's not all. Club Velvet boasts a 22-seat bar with 12 bar-top video lottery terminals. The bar opens onto the Rocksino's main gaming floor where the fun never stops. Flat screens above the bar make it an ideal place for sports viewing.
"We're geared up for more than comedy," Lucas says. "Club Velvet is a versatile room. It will host unique events, including a Kentucky Derby night and illusion acts. Private parties will round out the entertainment."
No matter what the occasion, Lucas says guests can expect world-class, rockin' service. "It's what we stand for in everything we do – whether it's gaming, dining, or entertaining," he says. "It's, well, magical."
