The Place:
Le Milliardaire
The Scene:
An ear-plugged doorman stands outside a voluminous front door amongst a roar of Italian sport cars zooming around the Champs-Elysees to its street-side valet stand. Between up-and-down glances of velvet rope riders and seeing what oil tycoon or French pop star emerges from the next Rolls Royce Phantom, the doorman works his way through the crowd as most visitors get inside the club with little more than a 5-minute wait. We expect big things from a club going by such a name, beginning in a bright red main lounge lined in so many plasma screen TVs you'd think it were a 2001 Jay-Z video. No longer such the novelty, TVs are overlooked from a crowd snuggled inside ruby red banquettes and atop circular stools surrounding super-short cocktail tables strewn with acrylic champagne buckets. In an attempt to rival the popularity and exclusivity of nearby Le Baron, live musicians now play alongside house deejays in a mishmash of Ronson-style sounds that feel a bit out-of-place in this traditionally hip-hop minded enclave.
JetSet Tips:
Don’t worry about bottle service reservations unless attending on a heavily promoted Saturday night. Given the club’s size, the average reveler will find amble room in the main lounge without handing over their Debit Card.
Last Word:
Franchise dance club lures big-buck revelers along the Champs-Elysees for nightly dance events, live music and endless hobnobbing.
