The nightclub is lavish with two stone lion statues and an enormous outdoor fountain that operates in time with a piano ballad, according to AOL.com<\/a>, which posted photos of the club’s grand opening this week. The club has state-of-the-art audio and video entertainment systems, dancers, hostesses, and a rooftop garden.<\/p>\n

Guests are greeted inside by a strobe light, fog machines and six big screens that display graphics that “look as though they might have been borrowed from an iTunes audio visualizer.”<\/em> It boasts a capacity of 2,000, making it one of the largest entertainment venues in Shanghai.<\/p>\n

The club is using Obama’s campaign platform for “Change” to build its clientele.<\/p>\n

“Because Obama has mentioned “change” during his election campaign, so in truth we also hoped that this nightclub, a pinnacle of culture and entertainment, can be an instrument of change,”<\/em> says Dragon Chiang, vice chairman for Shanghai Yahe Investment. “We no longer want people to think of nightclubs as a certain kind of venue. We hope that under our leadership, this nightclub can have a fresh way of operating.”<\/em><\/p>\n
