Tangerine at TI to close
Tangerine, the nightclub at TI, announced that it would be closing after September 1. Though just over three years old, Tangerine has slipped as a top club in the face of more recent arrivals like Tao, Pure, Moon and Jet. That said, Tangerine is still a fairly popular club compared to most places on the Strip. So the decision by Pure Management Group to reinvent the club is an interesting one and likely an optional one. After all, rather than giving up on promoting Tangerine, a closing party is set for September 1, to be hosted by Dave Navarro. So the closing of Tangerine certainly doesn't seem to suggest any answer to the question of whether the current Vegas nightclub industry boom is a bubble. Tangerine isn't being replaced by a showroom or slots. Pure Management Group intends to open a new nightclub in the space by New Year's Eve.

I never have a good time at the Pure places. Rude staff, overpriced, low-quality food, drinks and bottle service. Light, Hard Rock, Palms, Tao are superior.

Damn it, Tangerine was great! OK, so the music in the main dance area was pants, but surely that can be solved more cheaply by getting a better DJ? A great DJ can work the crowd and get the punters in regardless of the venue, and Tangerine wasn't exactly a second rate club!
It will be missed
