For its September issue, GQ sent Lauren Greenfield to Las Vegas to shoot a feature on the Marquee, a 60,000-square-foot superclub where people spend thousands—no, tens of thousands—of dollars to party. At the Marquee, a table reservation will cost you a thousand bucks. Bottle service at a table on the dance floor will run you $10,000. A 30-liter bottle of champagne and a dozen women to sip it with: $250,000. And people happily pay the price night after night. No wonder GQ calls it “the hottest club on the planet” in the article “The Best Night…$500,000 Can Buy.”
Lauren also produced and directed a short film on the Marquee Las Vegas, which quickly became the No. 1 video at gq.com. “The Best Night Ever” features exclusive interviews with Lou Abin, co-owner of Marquee; Mike Diamond, head of Marquee security; Larson Legris, director of VIP services; VIP hostesses; and customers; as well as colorful, intoxicating cinema verite footage of the club in full hedonistic swing. View the film here.
Below, Lauren’s images as they appeared in the magazine…and on their own…
