Composers Room in Las Vegas Opens with Lavish VIP Entertainment & Tasting Event

The stars shined brightly at the stunning VIP opening of The Composers Room in late November in the Historic Commercial Center District in Las Vegas.

Entertainment industry veteran Damian Costa may have found the right formula to bring talented entertainers and their audiences together in celebration of the best of Las Vegas. The lavish VIP event was crowded with local performers, some of whom will be entertaining audiences in the 150 seat Show Lounge stage area theatre. Many other industry professionals and friends came to support this new venue which aims to elegantly accommodate those hungry for good food and superior entertainment.

Presented in a venue that is a throwback to the iconic style and elegance of the past, owner Damian Costa has created a showcase for performers ranging from national touring artists to popular local singers and musicians and an array of music genres and song styles including opera, theatre, pop and jazz.

Costa of Pompey Entertainment has fashioned a spot where, “vintage Vegas meets modern charm in the heart of the Historic Commercial Center District.” The mission,” he says, “is to present a menu of enjoyable food, upscale cocktails and memorable musical performances from today’s artists.” And the wonderful experience begins with free parking right outside the facility.

In addition, there is the The Tavern Stage which includes a well stocked bar and ample seating for patrons as they enjoy piano music and song. Menu options range from small bites like bacon-wrapped dates to deli offerings like “the Italian” and seasonal fish, steak, chicken or the ever popular meatloaf.

The décor is a throwback to old Vegas with photos and other materials, many from Costa’s own family which is well-rooted in the entertainment community. Costa himself has been in the business for decades, first with South Point Hotel & Casino and then with Caesars.

Guests were delighted with the menu tasting and the performances at this special event. Local favorite and musical director for the evening Keith Thompson started things off as one after another, Vegas luminaries took the stage to share their talents.

Opening night performers included Keith Thompson, Travis Cloer, Brent Barrett and Bernie Blanks, singer/comedienne/impressionist Kelly-Clinton Holmes, Vincent John, (The Bronx Wanderers), Jimmy Hopper, pianist.
