This Las Vegas Hotel Pool Is Transforming Into a French Riviera-inspired, Champagne-filled Pop-up This Summer
As temperatures heat up in Las Vegas, one hotel is offering guests a way to cool off in style. The Fontainebleau, Las Vegas' recently opened 67-story luxury behemoth (and an It List 2024 pick), has unveiled the pop-up Sun Club, just in time for sunbathing season.
Located on the hotel's third-floor pool deck, the Sun Club has taken over the adults-only Legacy Pool. This quieter, more secluded area is sectioned off from the rest of the six-acre pool deck and is ideal for special occasions or for those who simply want to kick back by the pool with a glass of bubbly.
Speaking of bubbles: the Sun Club marks an exclusive partnership between Fontainebleau and Veuve Clicquot, the historic French champagne house. While this is the first pop-up of its kind in the U.S., previous Sun Clubs have made appearances at Europe's most popular resort destinations like Ibiza, Mykonos, Saint-Tropez, and Capri. Hotels like the Well Beach Club Vale do Lobo in Portugal, Roc Seven Biarritz in France, and Pesce Terrazza Forte dei Marmi in Italy have all welcomed the brand's iconic yellow-and-white striped umbrellas. And now, it's Vegas's turn.
The Sun Club fits right into Vegas' buzzy summer pool scene, where guests take poolside lounging quite seriously. From staking out daybeds to keeping hydrated (a must in the intense desert heat), there's certainly an art to pool life in Vegas. Now, the Sun Club is making sure travelers stay classy as they sip and sun.
The pop-up's distinct, summery look is the work of French design studio Marcel Poulain, who is also responsible for Sun Club's other iterations in Rome and Forte dei Marmi, Italy. With colorful umbrellas and candy-striped lifebuoys that double as ice buckets, the Sun Club is a full visual immersion into the brand's newest cuvées, Rich and Rich Rosé, alongside classics like Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label and Veuve Clicquot Rosé (available by the glass or bottle). The crisp, sparkling wines come ice cold, and can be sipped either in the privacy of your daybed or cabana, or at the Legacy Pool's intimate 10-seat bar—so, in other words, come thirsty!
An exclusive pairing menu has items like La Côte Caesar Salad, a grilled chicken club sandwich, and a tropical fruit plate, which you can order straight to your cabana. In the mood for something more substantial? The hotel's open-air, French Riviera-inspired restaurant, La Côte, is just steps away.
The Sun Club will be open daily from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. and will offer the Legacy Pool's full lineup of daybeds and cabanas, tucked amidst swaying palms and green hedges. If you end up renting a cabana, be sure to clear your schedule—once you're settled in with your glass of champagne, you won't want to do much else the rest of the day.

Inclusive theater program in Queens spotlights adults with disabilities
Queens theater program gives adults with disabilities a chance to shine Queens theater program gives adults with disabilities a chance to shine Queens theater program gives adults with disabilities a chance to shine A Queens theater program is bringing big energy and even bigger heart to the stage as adults with disabilities dazzle with talent, teamwork and a whole lot of joy. QCP Players Program celebrating debut performance A red dress and a sparkly headband are all it takes to transform Queens native Tyaisha Blake-Lochard into the Roald Dahl character Veruca Salt. She's keeping her composure before the big performance of "Willy Wonka" at Queens Centers for Progress (QCP), an organization that provides resources and support for individuals with developmental disabilities. "I'm just a little nervous, but I'm hanging in there," she said. "We know that they feel like an actor in a Broadway show feels on their opening day," QCP executive director Terri Ross said. The show marks a debut for the QCP Players Program, a partnership with inclusive performing arts nonprofit AhHa!Broadway. Participants are not only performers but also set painters, stage crew and ushers. Maurice Agard, who plays the title role, looks forward to seeing his parents in the audience. "They're going to love it," he said. "They have blossomed" Over 12 weeks of rehearsals, organizers have witnessed improvements in focus, energy, creativity and collaboration. "They have blossomed. They have become more animated, and also have become more closer with working together with other people because they realize it's part of a team," adult day services director Josie Davide said. "Literally, like, between goosebumps and tears sitting here watching them. It's just heartwarming," QCP director of development Wendy Gennaro said. Davide is eager to share the group's talent and joy with audiences. "I want them to see that people with disabilities can do whatever they put their mind to," she said.

What Happens During ‘M3GAN 2.0' End Credits And How Possible Is A Sequel?
"Megan 2.0" partial poster. M3GAN 2.0 — the sequel to the 2022 horror hit M3GAN — has footage in the end credits. What happens during the end credits and does it mean anything for another sequel? M3GAN 2.0 opens in theaters nationwide on Friday. The official summary for the film reads, 'Two years after M3GAN, a marvel of artificial intelligence, went rogue and embarked on a murderous (and impeccably choreographed) rampage and was subsequently destroyed, M3GAN's creator Gemma (Allison Williams) has become a high-profile author and advocate for government oversight of AI. "Meanwhile, Gemma's niece Cady (Violet McGraw), now 14, has become a teenager, rebelling against Gemma's overprotective rules. Unbeknownst to them, the underlying tech for M3GAN has been stolen and misused by a powerful defense contractor to create a military-grade weapon known as Amelia (Ivanna Sakhno), the ultimate killer infiltration spy. "But as Amelia's self-awareness increases, she becomes decidedly less interested in taking orders from humans. Or in keeping them around. With the future of human existence on the line, Gemma realizes that the only option is to resurrect M3GAN (Amie Donald, voiced by Jenna Davis) and give her a few upgrades, making her faster, stronger and more lethal. As their paths collide, the original AI icon is about to meet her match.' Directed by Gerard Johnstone, M3GAN 2.0 also stars Brian Jordan Alvarez, Jen Van Epps, Aristotle Athari, Timm Sharp and Jemaine Clement. Note: Spoilers about the ending and end credits are revealed in the next section. What Footage Is Featured During The End Credits Of M3GAN 2.0? End-credits or post-credits scenes generally wrap up loose ends from a scene from earlier in a film — like Brad Pitt's F1: The Movie does — or they can set up a potential sequel. In the case of M3GAN 2.0, there is no post-credits scene and the end credits only show highlights from 2022's M3GAN and the new film, along with a silhouette of M3GAN the AI robot dancing. As for the future of M3GAN the AI android, the sequel makes it clear that the program can function as a disembodied robot no matter how mangled its mechanic makeup gets. As such, there's really no reason to stay in your seats to watch the end credits because there's really no substance to them. Even though there are no scenes in 2.0 that set up another M3GAN (M3GAN 3.0, perhaps?), another movie in the series is in all likelihood something that Universal Pictures executives are considering. M3GAN was a big moneymaker for the studio in 2022 — it made $182 million worldwide against a $12 million budget before prints and advertising, according to The Hollywood Reporter, so they'll no doubt be tempted for a third film depending on how well M3GAN 2.0 does. M3GAN 2.0 is projected by Universal (via THR) to earn $20 million domestically in its opening weekend frame against a $15 million production budget before P&A, which is cheap by Hollywood standards for a major release (Deadline, however, reported that the budget was $25 million, which is still a low number). So, as long as Universal makes enough money to justify another M3GAN film, director Gerard Johnstone is game to make more. The director told THR recently that as AI technology continues to evolve, it will help foster future screen stories. 'I would not be surprised if there's another five of these movies, Johnstone told THR. 'So, who knows, maybe I'll come back for the fifth one.' Lucky for Johnstone, franchise star Allison Williams wants to see more M3GAN movies, too. "We have big aspirations of big dreams, and I certainly don't feel like I'm done making these movies with these people and this tonal landscape and the subject matter,' Williams told THR recently. 'So, yeah, I have been dreaming of a third, for sure.' M3GAN 2.0 opens in theaters nationwide on Friday.
