Performers a stunning hit as Chez Paulina expands venue capability

At a recent private party held by invitation of the owner of Thriller Villa, Chez Paulina, Ltd. orchestrated a special configuration of Neverland Chapel, meant to showcase local talent.

Las Vegas favorite Nieve Malandra first lead a trio including crowd-pleasing violinist Lydia Ansel and much-sought trumpeter Chandler Judkins, in the upper arches of the Chapel, during a cocktail underneath.  Not only was the visual effect stunning, the sound quality was so good that the guests at first thought the music was piped in.

After the initial Cocktail, Nieve made a costume change before adding Las Vegas pianist Dan Ellis to the lineup, on the house piano in the Grand Salon, accompanied by Nieve’s sultry vocals and Chandler’s brass.  The new approach of in-property venue change worked marvelously, and allowed for the guests to truly enjoy some of our city’s hottest entertainers close up.
