The DTX Group is a highly specialized group of Nightlife Developers, Operators and Innovators involved in the development, marketing and operation of Nightlife and Entertainment venues including Bars, Nightclubs, Restaurants, Lounges and Breweries. Combined experience of the DTX principals is over 45 years in the Hospitality industry and includes work with Rain Nightclub in the Palms Casino, IHOP franchisees, Coyote Ugly Saloon, Men's Club, PS Chicago as well as notable clients such as Playboy, WWE and Hawaiian Tropics.In my role as a consultant with DTX I am an Expert Witness for Liquor Liability and Security related liquor matters and also a “Technology GC" for Bars, Restaurants and Nightclubs. Expert Witness means I put on a suit and tell the judge why your bar or restaurant does or doesn't suck. Plaintiff or Defendant, doesn't matter. You pay me. I'll give you my ugly, no holds barred opinion. (Still suprised that people will pay me to run my mouth, but oh well) In my technical role I help Bars and Restairants integrate technology into a Food and Beverage operation. This can be a pain in the a** because some of y'all are true dinosaurs when it comes to technology. As an operator with over 20 years in the business, I have a unique industry insider’s perspective on working with the latest technologies. When working with clients I make it an integral part of the gameplan to create a seamless, simple to understand technical integration (because like I said, most of y'all are not good at the geek stuff at all - not hating) to help them manage the technology they will be using. Total nerd stuff. But, I'm good at it. So I'll do it for you.

The dark maze-like halls, projection screens, different rooms with different music styles, slammin house music, cool bouncers (props to Vaughn and Oscar) and club kids made this place hard to forget. I remember many a late night dancing in a daze, staring up at the crystal chandeliers in the VIP room. It is greatly missed- I think I speak for many when I say thanks for the memories!!!! The clubs of today have lost touch with what made this place so great!" - glamV, 05/26/2006
