Club NY, Charleston’s biggest night club which epitomizes a new standard in nightlife, is opening for one night only – New Year’s Eve 2008 - and is guaranteed to have people talking throughout 2009. The event’s debut in 2007 brought over 650 people to the Gaillard Auditorium Expo Hall. The inspiration behind Club NY is to elevate locals’ nightlife and introduce the nationally-recognized DJ’s and entertainers, cosmopolitan décor and design, edge and diversity that one would find in influential cites such as New York City.

This one time only nightclub features international sounds including reggae, house, hip-hop, ‘80s retro and today’s pop music. Club NY has a diverse crowd and everyone has one thing in common: a desire for good music, dancing and a love of a good time.

Entertainment includes:
• house music and hip-hop hits from DJ Natty Heavy (www.nattyheavy.com)
• break-dancing by Hypnotik Bodyrock
• video projections by local artist Kevin Harrison
• salsa rhythms from DJ Luigi of Latin Groove (www.latingroovecharleston.com)
• reggae sensation Dub Island Sound System (www.dubislandsoundsystem.com)
• Fuse

There will be two rooms each playing a different style of music all night long. Big screen projections of Times Square at midnight will give the full effect of being in New York City and a confetti blast and champagne toast will help ring in the new year right.

Tickets are $85 in advance and $100 after December 25. Tickets can be purchased at http://www.clubnycharleston.com or at the Gaillard Auditorium at 77 Calhoun Street. Tickets include all beverages, heavy hors d’oeuvres and a champagne toast at midnight.

VIP tickets are available and include a private elevated cabana with a cocktail waitress, upgraded food selection, complimentary bottle of champagne and a bottle of your choice. The prominent VIP section is located by the dance floor so that you can have privacy while still being able to view all of the entertainment and other club-goers. There will be a total of six lounges and each one can seat up to ten people. Tickets are $150 per person in advance and $175 after December 25.

Doors open at 9:00 p.m. and the night continues on until 1:30a.m. All guests must be 21 years old with valid ID.
