**********************
TORONTO - Inspired by the spirit of The Beatles and created by Cirque du Soleil, The Beatles Revolution Lounge is now open inside The Mirage, Las Vegas.

Opening its doors only six months after the high-profile launch of The Beatles Love, Revolution offers an extended experience before and after the show.

Revolutionary in design and atmosphere, this ultra-lounge features cutting edge, interactive experiences to create a psychedelic sensory environment and a contemporary interpretation of The Beatles era.

Each night will be an evolutionary journey, where both the music and interior transform, resulting in an eclectic nightlife adventure at The Mirage.

"The inspiration for Revolution began with The Beatles' message of love but the atmosphere is a modern twist on their era of freedom, self-expression and free-love," [said] Jean-Francois Bouchard, creative director, Cirque du Soleil Experience.

Scott Sibella, president and chief operating officer of The Mirage, [said]: "The Beatles Revolution Lounge is the next dynamic step in the continuing transformation of The Mirage."

"REVOLUTION will bring an even higher level of energy and excitement to the resort," Sibella said.

This is the first time Cirque du Soleil draws upon their innovative talent to create a unique nightlife experience in Las Vegas.

Revolution will be operated by Canadian business mogul, Charles Khabouth.

Affiliated with some of the most successful venues in Canada - The Guvernment and Kool Haus Entertainment Complex, Pantages Hotel Suites & Spa, Ultra Supper Club, Kindred Spirits (Catering), Hugo (BOSS), Lux, This is London, Dragonfly (Fallsview Casino) - Charles Khabouth has now entered the international market with a global partnership between INK and Cirque du Soleil.

As part of the venture, Khabouth and his parent company INK will assume partnership, marketing, as well as all operational responsibilities in joint projects - the first being The Beatles Revolution Lounge in The Mirage Las Vegas.
