An iconic piece of the Valley’s local nightlife and live music landscape, Club Madrid at Sunset Station will be closing for good on July 7. That space off the casino floor eventually will be converted into a new bar after a July 4 weekend farewell celebration featuring performances from Empire Records, The Spazmatics, 80s Night and Yellow Brick Road. But more significantly, the Henderson resort will welcome another location of Stoney’s Rockin’ Country in early 2026, a 19,000-square-foot venue with a live performance stage, a mechanical bull, VIP platforms and boxes on the dancefloor and more. Construction on the project on the northeast portion of the property is set to begin in August.

Special features include more than 40 screens, a 38-foot LED wall, multiple bars and immersive audio zones, DJs and live music and more. Get a glimpse at bottledblondelv.com.
