Tiny Dancer
Atop the MPD's Newest Dance Floor
Chances are that when you hit the dance floor, you own it (...in your own special way).
Which is why you'll really like your odds at the MPD's newest madness set to open this Friday evening:
Kiss & Fly.
Kiss & Fly is the next step in the exclusive service you've come to expect in your night out on the
town—along with your own table and champagne bucket, you now can expect your own little elevated dance
floor with just room enough for two (it's the loveseat of dance floors).
If the place feels like Roman excess, that's because it is: The massive coliseum-like space is adorned with
golden columns and arches and, most impressively, a take on Michelangelo's Sistine Chapel painted on the
ceiling. It could end there, but thankfully it does not. Rivaling (but not really) Bellagio's fountain show,
as the night warms up a light show powered by 750 hidden LED lights takes the mood from chill to...not so
chill, and a nitrous tank showers you with the occasional gale force burst of cool air (so things don't get
too not-so-chill.)
As for a table, you might prefer
The Temple, a candle-ensconced gazebo with gold throne-like
chairs, a roundtable and a swing hanging from the ceiling (Romans love swings).
If all of that isn't enough for you (or if it's too much), you can expect adjacent French restaurant
Bagatelle to open January 1st, and downstairs lounge Coco Deville to open in February.
But we think you can handle it.
