Weekend: Desert Heat: London Dubai, Las Vegas

This weekend the ever-expanding W4 team brings you group coverage from global hotspots London, Dubai and Las Vegas. Spanning twelve steamy times zones of Arabian /Anglo-American drunken desert pleasure our rogue correspondents misadventures will certainly end up with something to report - or at the least a large hospital or legal bill.

In London this weekend, the team behind Boujis opens their newest venture, Volstead, in Mayfair adjacent to the quickly fading Cuckoo Club. Billed as, “London's most opulent boutique lounge will rekindle the atmosphere of our most socially hedonistic times . . . Volstead will provide an oasis of elegance in London's Mayfair.” Cheeky irony considering that the Volstead Act of 1920 established prohibition. Volstead declares that, "sobriety has its place" and we can only hope it is nowhere near Swallow Street. The The hedonistic playpen will be open Tuesday to Saturday from 7pm - 3am.

Meanwhile out at Heathrow, Snoop Dogg was arrested last night for having a 30 person riot in the business class lounge after being denied boarding on a flight to South Africa. Fo Shizzle My Nizzle these bizzcits in the lounge are the grizzle - yo, let's fizzle. W4 supports Snoop's business class liberation army. We agree that the quality of the pre-flight experience has gone down hill in recent years and would lead any man to riot for a decent bellini.
