Las Vegas runs on bright lights, but some of its boldest moments happen in the dark while many are sleeping.
Spiegelworld’s “Bang Out” brought its anything-goes energy back to the Atomic Saloon for another unforgettable late-night takeover on Saturday night/Sunday morning. Known for its raw, unpredictable vibe, the one-night-only event invites performers to take risks, test out new ideas, and deliver the kind of off-the-cuff moments you won’t see on any polished Vegas stage.
The Blast got in on the chaotic late-night fun on Saturday night. The party started way past most people’s bedtime (including mine) at 11:54 p.m. but was totally worth staying up late for.
If you’re looking for something wild and crazy to do for the plot, “Bang Out” is it! This once-in-a-blue-moon event by Spiegelworld, known for “Absinthe” and “Atomic Saloon,” is a late-night Vegas party like no other.
It’s part circus, part party, and completely unfiltered, set inside a rowdy roadhouse atmosphere where cocktails flow and the unexpected is the main attraction.
If you’re looking for a night that breaks all the rules, this is it. But you have to catch it while you can, because it’s not a regularly scheduled show. It’s a pop-up style experience that happens occasionally throughout the year so you just have to stay tuned in to find out when the next one will be.
‘Bang Out’ Has Quickly Become A Fan Favorite
The circus-industry party welcomes everyone for the fun. According to a press release sent to The Blast, “Since its debut last year, Bang Out has quickly become a fan favorite for those in the know, with more than 1,300 insiders attending the three rowdy, ridiculous hoedowns. Every edition has brought all-new acts to the stage, with additional surprises unique to each event.”
This show is for any performer looking to showcase a new act in front of an audience. Selected performers get the opportunity to work with Spiegelworld’s creative team to bring it all to life on the Atomic Saloon stage. We’re talking high-skill acrobatics, comedy, magic, burlesque with a twist, and novelty music acts. The more outrageous, the better, according to Spiegelworld.
What Attending ‘Bang Out’ For The First Time Was Really Like
If you’re lucky enough to go to a “Bang Out” event, be ready for anything. These occasional late-night parties are built part club vibe, part old-time saloon feel, and wild acts that will leave quite the impression on you.
A DJ gets the crowd energetic before the show begins and much of the room spends the night dancing and singing along. Once the show begins, there are a few acts before the DJ returns, and then more acts. The night is filled with lots of amazement, awe, and wonder. This is something you must experience to fully understand.
Atomic Saloon is quite the venue all in itself. When you walk in, you feel transported back to a time when the saloon was the hottest spot to be. Everything from the decor to the set up screams old-time saloon, which adds to the late-night vibe perfectly.
If you’re in Vegas and up late the next time they host a “Bang Out” event, it’s absolutely something worth checking out before calling it a day.
‘Absinthe’ By Spiegelworld Recently Celebrated 15 Years On The Strip
Just a few months ago, the hit show “Absinthe” celebrated 15 years on the Las Vegas Strip.
This daring show evolved from a tent production to a full-fledged entertainment phenomenon right outside of Caesars Palace. Known for its risqué humor and amazing acrobatics, the show pushes boundaries while staying true to its roots. People from near and far are often heard talking about how amazing this show is.
Just before the big anniversary, a press release was sent to The Blast and shared a little of the backstory on how “Absinthe” came to be.
“When I flew into Vegas as just another hopelessly optimistic producer with an idea 15 years ago, I was met by an intimidating roster of competitors and a skeptical casino industry,” Ross Mollison, founder of Spiegelworld said. “I will never forget the first preview, our little spiegeltent filled with friends I had made through working with Cirque du Soleil for about a decade, and a bunch of casino entertainment execs out on what they expected would be another ‘terrible show night.’”
Mollison said that when the lights went out following the performance, the audience celebrated in a big way.
“My friend Jennifer Dunne who was CMO at Wynn came over and said to me ‘WTF Ross — this is going to be a smash,” he continued.
