Closed For a Private Party

This is strictly a rumour but from a very good source.

If any of you high-rollers want to have a drink at the VU bar at Casino Windsor on Friday night, you are out of luck. It's been taken over for a few hours by a group.

They must have a big budget to be able to spend so much cash for one these kinds of functions. Closing the bar on a Friday of a long holiday week-end for several hours could have cost the Casino a bundle so you can imagine how much the Casino expects to make on this party.

Can you believe as well the power of the party's host to do this. Amazing! He must have connections.

The Bar is described in the following terms.

• "VU carries a cool, casual vibe featuring funky decor in sexy shades of cranberry and purple, modern furnishing and whimsical murals. While listening to great music, customers can order one of 20 signature drinks on VU's exotic cocktail menu.
  
  The main element of this bar is revealed in its name - spanning the length of this stylish venue is a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows offering spectacular panoramic views of the Detroit skyline and Windsor riverfront and an outdoor patio."

Imagine that, the decor is described as "funky." Doesn't that sound like the description given to the City-owned "funky" bus terminal!

It will cost the host a pretty penny I bet since drinks I am told are quite pricey there. I wonder if it is tied into the Grand Prix event.

I wonder who the host is? I am sure that the traditional media will be there in full force to let you know who rented the room and who attended the function! It's too bad that cameras are not allowed in the Casino isn't it? Mind you, some of the new cameras are so small...
