Of course, having Heights as the venue with it's gorgeous decor and tuned sound system will let these incredible DJs take you on this audible trip. Offering unrivaled service, the exquisitely chic and stunning 5,000 square foot space make Heights a world class night-life destination. Entering Heights presents a dramatic perspective: elegant VIP booths, an exquisitely lit dance floor, and a luminating stretch bar all in an impressive multi-tiered environment. An amazing DJ booth raised in the dance floor creates a brilliant focal point in the center of the room.
Like its namesake, The Heights is a sanctuary for all things High Society–the décor and design are no exception. Attention to detail abounds where combinations of rich textures and modern elements create a harmoniously paired aesthetic. Vivid custom-designed ambient and mood lighting create an ultra-sensory experience and state-of-the-art sound system, built to suit bring the club to life every night.
Last but not least, we'll be offering a FREE guest list for this event. We suggest arriving early to avoid the long lines. There is a dress code so please dress to impress.
See you there.
