HQ Nightclub at Revel Resorts in Atlantic City has been host to some of the biggest names in dance music since it's grand opening last Spring, establishing itself as the premier dance music destination in the coastal city. As spring begins to heat up and summer creeps around the corner, HQ and Revel have announced the grand opening of the HQ Beach Club opening this Memorial Day Weekend on Thursday, May 23rd. The Beach Club features multiple levels, a triangular pool, seaside views and a incredible sound system. Like a little slice of Vegas in New York's backyard. [...]

Each Grammys weekend, the music world comes together to celebrate the MusiCares Person Of The Year with a dinner, auction and tribute concert. This year, MusiCares, which is the health and human services organization affiliated with The Recording Academy, honored New Jersey native Bruce Springsteen at the L.A. Convention Center. Not only did the likes of Neil Young and Crazy Horse, Sting, the Alabama Shakes, Jim James and Tom Morello and Mumford & Sons pay their respects to The Boss by covering one of his songs, but Springsteen himself closed out the evening with a five-song set. [...]

Like any native of New Jersey, much of my younger 20s were spent stumbling through the neon lit and awkwardly carpeted atriums of Atlantic City's dated casinos. In terms of luxury and elegance there wasn't much to look forward to along the Jersey coastline. Debauchery? yes, luxury? hell no. When news of Revel's development began, our eyes once again looked towards the Jersey coast. Their mission was bold - make Atlantic City a destination for more than just geriatrics on slot machines. It's aim was to bring all of the luxury and grandeur of Vegas's preeminent hotels to the North [...]

If you've turned on the TV today, or been online, on Facebook, on Twitter, basically if you've been awake then you probably heard the news that Kanye and Kim are expecting their first child. Mr. West broke the news this weekend (after his Grammy rant) during his show in Atlantic City. A big congrats to Yeezy and Kim (or Kimye as the media has so creatively named them). Can we also say Reality TV series in the works? Yes, yes I think we can.

When Kanye West isn't dipping into his catalogue during live shows, he's ranting/freestyling as much as humanly possible. OK, that might be hyperbole, but Yeezy is known to go off the cuff for the better part of 10-15 minutes with the previous song's beat behind him. For example, during his show in Atlantic City last night, he went off over the piano line from "Clique". From the sound of it, he's basically giving the crowd a preview of some new music—seriously, it all flows way too well to not be some written shit. ROFL at the line about [...]

Kanye in mask (via Buzzfeed ) Kanye West did a three-night run in Atlantic City at Revel Ovation Hall from December 28-30. He performed completely alone on stage, without backup dancers, DJs, or a band, with widescreen projections of nature scenes behind him. The scenes changed a few times throughout the show, as did his outfits, which at certain points included two weirdly awesome masks -- one covered in diamonds and one covered in mock snow and/or feathers. For the set he stuck mainly to [...]

While Kanye West was performing at the Revel Ovation Hall in Atlantic City, something inspired him to veer away his song performance of " Clique " and into this rant. Kanye has been quiet for some time and maybe he was do for this, but is this the place, is it the right time? Check it out and really listen to what Ye is saying. Wild.

Looks like diamonds aren't just a girl's best friend — they're also Kanye West 's! While once again wearing the much-talked about diamond-encrusted Maison Martin Margiela face mask  last night (December 29), Yeezy gave a shout out to the oh-so-sexy Rihanna by performing a remix of her mega-hit "Diamonds" during the second night of his three-night “7 Screen Experience” stint at Revel Resort in Atlantic City. With his double-diamond-dose (wearing diamonds and performing "Diamonds"), Kanye yet again proved his taste for the finer things in life. [...]

It's best to just leave pictures of Kanye West's wardrobe from his show last night in Atlantic City below-and above-and let the TSS commentariat wager their thoughts on what in [...] The post Kanye's Outfits Again Proved That He Gives Zero F*cks appeared first on The Smoking Section .

Kanye West - Youtube Just call him KanYeti. Kanye West rocked what appeared to be a Yeti mask as he performed for a packed crowd of fans at the Revel Resort in Atlantic City, NJ last night (December 28), his first in a three-night stay. Wearing all white against a forest backdrop, the Grammy-winning rapper kept the mask on through the duration of 808s & Heartbreak tunes like "Say You Will" and "Heartless." The beastly fierceness wasn't the only mask Yeezy donned during his set. He also rocked [...]

Move over Lady Gaga , there's a new couture-wearing masked musician in town! Last night (December 28), wearing an all-white ensemble and various masks, Kanye West lit up the stage at Ovation Hall in Atlantic City's Revel Resort. Making a departure from past performances laden with back-up dancers or knob-turners, Yeezy emerged as a lone wolf and dazzled the 5,500-seat theater in his winter wonderland set, with a plethora of songs and elaborate masks in his first of three consecutive "7 Screen Experience" shows. The 75-minute concert [...]

Kanye is in the midst of his three-night takeover of Atlantic City right now and started last night by setting Twitter ablaze once again. If you thought his Givenchy skirt paired with that dope-ass Pyrex hoodie at the Hurricane Sandy benefit was odd, peep his new head gear for the shows at Revel . Kanye decided to rock a white Chewbacca looking mask, followed by a diamond studded mask that only Gaga would attempt. Dude is crazy and pushes the envelope non-stop. By far the most entertaining man in the biz.

Kanye West took the stage at the Revel Hotel last night in Atlantic City and it's safe to say he surprised the shit out of his fans. No, he wasn't rockin' a kilt again—something he's done more often than not lately. Instead, he threw masks over his head while running through a slew of his biggest songs, from "All Falls Down" to "POWER". He also tackled some of his guest verses, including his bars on 2 Chainz' " Birthday Song ", while later donning a diamond-encrusted mask designed by Maison Martin Margiela. Watch some footage of the show below. [...]
