The Big Easy Concert House is scheduled to premiere CLUB 208 tonight from 10 p.m. to 2:08 a.m.
The club is for ages 18 and older and is intended to reach out to the students of the Boise State University community.
The nightclub is under somewhat new management, although the old management, Bravo Entertainment and the Big Easy itself still have an influence. The new management and ownership is through the entertainment company Mini-Factory, originally based in Los Angeles and New York City.
“We wanted to map something up, something new, improved and not happening in L.A. or N.Y.,” Joseph Bridges of UPR entertainment (a division of Mini-Factory) said.
There will be a full bar for the crowd over age 21.
The Big Easy also plans to introduce a private champagne room for ages 21 and up and another one room ages 18 and older.
The Big Easy has attempted a university club night before with the Wednesday night “Club U” that didn’t seem to work out so well.
Because of the Wednesday night’s failure to succeed, “Wednesday nights are over,” Bridges said.
“Also, to keep people entertained during dancing intermissions, we will be having sumo wrestling and bubble bath wrestling,” Bridges said.
There will be different themes to every Thursday night including a military dress-up night, swimsuit party night and Halloween costume party night.
PlayStation 3 competitions are scheduled for the big screen projector as well.
The music scheduled for the club will be “party music. Not just hip-hop, not just country. Stuff that you hear a lot,” said Bridges
Next in the works from the Big Easy is an all-ages club called CLUB H2O. CLUB H2O will “bring back techno music,” Bridges said.
