The FUSE is burning
The South’s hottest nightclub, Fuse, is open with 14,000 square feet of fun.
Nashville, Tenn.—( June 3, 2008 ) The buzz around the South’s hottest new nightclub is unprecedented. The music was raging and the dance floor was loaded as the steamy fusion of sight, sound and tastes created the incomparable experience that is Fuse. Nashville’s only Vegas-style nightclub opened its doors for the first time this week. Featuring red-hot dancers, creative cocktailing, and incomparable, decadent style, Fuse, at Gaylord Opryland Resort, brings top-shelf entertainment to Music City.“Fuse exceeded my expectations and really hit the wow-factor with the crowd, the energy, the look. This is the best thing that has ever happened to Music City as far as nightlife is concerned,” raved Fuse guest, Adrian Braden, music producer.
“Fuse is not only the place to be seen, but it will be the place to SEE ─ celebrities, professional sports figures, those in the know. Because of the upscale atmosphere combined with the best music and cocktail lists available, Fuse is already becoming the place to book the most exclusive VIP happenings and the place to spot who’s hot,” explained Arthur Keith, senior vice president and general manager, Gaylord Opryland Resort and Attractions.
The lines have already been long to enter this desirable nightspot. VIP advanced bookings are being encouraged. Service at Fuse is elevated to a new level, with VIP Concierge Service, semi-private VIP cabanas and an exclusive VIP bar. But all guests can expect celebrity service by the highly trained staff and voluptuous servers.
“We strive to captivate our guests’ imaginations in every sense. For example, we carefully handpicked our dancers from a large pool of talent was available in Nashville. These women combined with the costumes and the music bring an element of energy and excitement to the club that you find in cities like Las Vegas or London,” remarked Fuse General Manager Ron Kerere.
Another hand picked talent: DJ Tyrus Briggs. No newbie to the club scene, Fuse resident DJ Tyrus creates his own steamy compilations whether they are straight mash-up, loop-based recordings, or even vinyl, he controls the tempo of the mixes producing pumping dance music with the latest audio technology available. He spins an unforgettable blend of styles including House, R&B, Hip-Hop, Party Classics and Electro/Dance remixes into a euphoric mix.
“I can read a crowd and create the sexy mixes that gets the pulses going and gets the bodies moving. When our live percussionist throws in, it creates a kind of addictive connection and it’s a real blowout that you can’t find anywhere around here,” added DJ Tryus.
From music, to the vodka locker to the fog machines; from the tones of bordello red, to the daring mixologists; from the restrooms with the playful, see-thru panels to the high-tech, innovated lighting, Fuse is all about going beyond what’s expected.
Fuse is open every day but Tuesday and Wednesday from 5 p.m. until the party stops. To book reservations or find more information please visit www.fusenashville.com.
