House of Blues reveals its renovations to the restaurant and bar | Eater Vegas

"Following a $4.5 million renovation at Mandalay Bay, this venerable Southern restaurant and live-music venue reopened with a warehouse-distillery aesthetic—corrugated metal, aged steel, wood millwork, exposed brick, riveted metal panels and a copper still give the space an industrial, reclaimed feel that also extends to the box office, Music Hall entrance and Gear Shop gift shop. A new mural by Scott Guion featuring iconic singers such as Amy Winehouse, along with folk-art installations from the venue’s art collection, add visual personality, while a large rectangular bar anchors the dining room. The stage remains intact with sightlines designed so every seat has a good view of performances, an indoor patio offers diners a view of the resort’s gaming floor, and new private dining rooms will debut in time for the holidays, reinforcing its dual role as a dinner destination and live-music hall." - Susan Stapleton
