Las Vegas – Nightclub & Bar Media Group has selected winners across 15 different categories for the 2017 Nightclub & Bar Awards.
North America’s premier industry awards program recognizes both individuals and establishments from across the nation who demonstrate a remarkable talent of skill and expertise while driving the industry to a new level of success.
“The number of nominations we received for this year’s Nightclub & Bar Awards far exceeded last year’s program,” said Bob Stewart, Vice President, Nightclub & Bar Media Group. “There were some really close nominations, which is why we ended up expanding one of the categories to recognize two winners. The winners of this year’s program showed an outstanding dedication to innovation and professionalism, but overall each of our winners had an elite sense of setting the industry standard while creating an outstanding hospitality experience.”
For several years, the Nightclub & Bar Awards have served as the industry’s most prestigious awards program, dedicated to honoring individuals and venues that are identifying industry trends, as well as showcasing excellence in bar, nightclub and lounge concept development, operations, innovations and success.
