STUDIO 54 DISCO NIGHT, THE VENUE
By: Mona Dickinson

Step back in time to the disco nights of the 70’s on Friday, July 23, as The Venue at the Horseshoe Casino hosts “Studio 54 Disco Night” with music and entertainment by the world-famous Afrodisiacs.

Hosted by Mark Nilsson of ABC Channel 7’s “190 North”, the evening promises to be an entertaining salute to the disco era, according to Josh Holmes, Special Events Coordinator for the Horseshoe Casino Hammond.

The evening will be a high energy show, along with costume and disco dance contests.

The World Famous Afrodisiacs are not just a dance band, but an entertaining, high energy show exploding with funky costumes, style and attitude that leaves audiences astonished and overwhelmed – feeling like they have time warped back to the disco nights of Studio 54, the world-famous Manhattan disco in the 70’s and early 80’s.

Originally a theatre, then radio and television studio, the building was THE place to be in the disco era. The club established itself on the celebrity scene and was frequented by musicians, actors, actresses and many other celebrities in its day.

The Afrodisiacs will take you away from everyday life and fly you straight to funky town. They add a unique dimension to their performance, demonstrating the common ties between '70s Disco and today's popular music. To learn more about the band, check out its website at www.afrodisiacs.net.

The winners of the costume and dance contests will get a Horseshoe gift basket featuring steakhouse gift certificates, The Venue tickets, a navigation system, plus more.

Tickets are just $10 general admission for this fun filled evening, with limited seating available. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m. with the fun starting at 7:30 p.m. The event is for guests age 21 and up.

The Venue has established itself as Chicagoland’s premier entertainment destination. For tickets or more information on the Studio 54 Disco Night or other upcoming events, call (866) 711-SHOE or (219) 473-6060 or visit www.chicagohorseshoe.com.
