Ivan Kane’s Forty Deuce has formally booked its New Year’s Eve opening at Mandalay Bay. This should shape up to be a party as dynamic as the club’s founder.

“This is a Forty Deuce 2.0. We did a nuke and rebuild of the space, I took the ceiling off and completely redesigned the place,” says Kane, who ran the club at the same location at the base of escalators leading to Mandalay Place from 2002-2009. “We’re much more AV-centric with a lot of LED walls and a sound system that is unparalleled.”

Kane’s big ideas are for a large room, larger than his 5,000-square-foot venue.
