Reigning Glory

Houston is rapidly perfecting the, now not so foreign, concept of luxury lounges, which are quickly lining up the streets of “The Corridor.” What started with the occasional bottle of Dom service and mood lighting has now transformed Washington Ave. into a hotbed of girls dressed in Vegas-wear and an abundance of blazer/Ed Hardy combos.

And now with the opening of the posh upscale lounge Reign, Houston may have found its new hotspot to see and be seen. Promoting the “Keep Houston Rich” theme, the lounge hopes to push the envelope of opulence. Oh, they have all the trimmings; dripping crystal chandeliers, rooftop bar with downtown views, and a softly lit fireplace. The true test of its longevity in the fast paced nightlife business is the crowd. Judging from the jam packed grand opening, it looks like this one’s gonna stick around for awhile.

Looks like it’s time to slip on those Louboutins.
