Famed nightlife impresario Ivan Kane is returning to Atlantic City when his next venture -- Ivan Kane's Kiss Kiss a Go-Go -- opens in The Quarter at The Tropicana.



Located in the space once occupied by the The Comedy Stop, the new venue will be "a trip down the rabbit hole into the neon-fueled nights of Bangkok," Kane said in a statement. "It's about creating a wildly exuberant party atmosphere, where guests feel safe to be as sexy as they want to be, to go wherever their fantasies take them."



As with the rest of his nightlife endeavors, expect the provocative. How provocative? Kane's iconic troupe of dancers will perform inside state-of-the-art cages behind virtual light bars.

Also expect a gigantic LED video wall of stacked vintage televisions. But don't expect football anytime soon. Instead, kinetic abstract images will loop in sync with the deejay music.



But why Bangkok? "It always kind of struck me because it's so visceral when you walk down the street and see the neon it's such a bombardment of the senses. So when I got back in the nightclub business, I tucked that away in the back of my mind as something I always wanted to riff on," he told Atlantic City Weekly.



Kane wants people to think of his new 5500-square-foot space as an art installation -- especially when patrons enter through its 50-foot neon tunnel. Above all, it will be sexy. "I want to inspire people to be as sexy as they want to be in an intimate nightclub experience. We create something 100 percent unique that you can't find anywhere else," he told the Weekly.

Kane is perhaps best known for his sexy Forty Deuce Burlesque Nightclub in Hollywood and Las Vegas. He brought that same energy to A.C. when Revel opened with the similar Ivan Kane's Royal Jelly Burlesque Nightclub.
