LUCKY DAY

The Lucky Day Tequila & Mezcal House is a cozy, 3,000-square-foot, 100-person capacity bar stuffed to the brim with iconic Mexican art and artifacts, color, and an explosion of light and sound. A canopy of 15,000 colorful, programmable LED lights of all shapes and sizes dance and play above patrons as they sample one-of-a-kind cocktails and sway to the enchanting music.

Local Las Vegas restaurant and bar development firm, Corner Bar Management, opened the Lucky Day Tequila & Mezcal House in early 2020. Corner Bar Management focuses almost exclusively on creating unique spaces within the artistic Freemont district of Las Vegas. Lucky Day was the company’s sixth project at the time, and two more restaurants have been opened since. A foundation of all Corner Bar Management projects is a well-equipped, high-quality sound system.

With the built-in Pioneer Pro Audio XY Series sound system, and a fully equipped DJ booth featuring Pioneer DJ equipment, Doherty explained that the entire bar is designed to become a dance floor as the evening progresses. Once the party atmosphere gets underway, the staff pulls out the bar stools, moves tables, and Lucky Day becomes a full dance venue — there’s no seating after midnight.

“The space is small and very theme-driven, so we tucked away and hid the subs all-round the bar, and the mains that we do see are flown above the dance floor, and they look really good. It’s an attractive system,” added Doherty. “The system blends in nicely, and it sounds great. The first time we fired it up, we had a lot of decorative stuff shaking off the walls; if things weren’t secure, this was going to happen, so there was a lot of glue gun work done in this bar!”

Doherty added that Lucky Day can also be rented out for private events, including wedding receptions, birthday parties, and company events. The venue has four sound system zones, the main room, a front entry area, and front and back patio areas. Everything is tuned for smooth, consistent coverage, with appropriate sound levels for each zone. All the Lucky Day DJ booth equipment is from Pioneer DJ, including the players, mixers, controllers, and booth monitors.

“We normally have DJs playing and controlling the system, and they can read the room well, so we don’t need separate zones for separate genres or separate sources. We have one source for everything, but it sounds great everywhere,” said Doherty.
