Soft Seating
The glitz and glamor of Las Vegas is embodied by this decadent bar and lounge—a collaboration between Grammy Award-winning musician Bruno Mars and Canadian studio Yabu Pushelberg. Located within the Bellagio Resort and Casino, The Pinky Ring transports its patrons away from the bright lights and bustle of the casino floor, and into a suave, sultry space where the party continues early into the next morning. The venue serves a curated cocktail menu and hosts a roster of performances by top musicians and DJs—but has a strict “no phones” policy, because, well, you know the saying.
Awards & Accolades

The sunken level is encircled by a wavy banquette, and furnished with additional soft armchairs gathered around a series of small custom tables. Shades of green are layered across the carpet, and the leather and patterned crushed-velvet chair upholstery, echoing those found in the richly veined stone tabletops. This evocatively named Kaleidoscope Onyx is paired with lustrous brass bases, which gently taper to lend the tables an arresting silhouette.

Niches surrounding the main lounge are reserved for VIPs, where champagne can be popped and sipped in privacy. Dark wood-veneer panels wrap several of these ancillary spaces, while a special area is lined with faceted, smokey mirrored panels that create infinite reflections around its organically shaped walls. Custom features include a banquette that wraps around a large table, which is fitted with a giant ice bucket for chilling drinks.

Crucial for setting the mood, indirect lighting is installed under the seats and in ceiling coves, while globe-shaped sconces attached to vertical brass rods provide focal details. Bathed in such flattering lighting, this magnetic space is perfectly tailored for both casual pre-dinner cocktails and lavish late-night celebrations. A fitting tribute to the decadence of Sin City.
Mars’s collection of Grammy trophies is proudly displayed along the mirrored passageway that leads guests to the main bar and lounge. A 1970s-style conversation pit occupies the central area, creating an intimate arena for conversations and libations.
