Wax Rabbit is a bashful bunny.

The cocktail lounge hides behind the walls of Mijo Modern Mexican Restaurant at Durango resort, which is scheduled to open Nov. 20, in southwest Las Vegas. The lounge will launch a day later.

Wax Rabbit is a project of Clique Hospitality, which also created Mijo Modern, the Bel-Aire lounge anchoring the ground floor of the Durango property, and the Bel-Aire Backyard pool experience planned to debut in late spring.

“Wax Rabbit will reveal a cool, intimate atmosphere that will bring back the lost art of DJs spinning mixes on vinyl albums, revisiting a time their talents were on display with every mix,” said Andy Masi, founder of Clique Hospitality.
