The Venue

- The swanky interior design, the sprawling interior, the long list of incredible, not-quite-mainstream superstars, the casual dress code, the unpretentiousness…1015 is what dance clubs were before the money, fame, and see-and-be-seen scene became the main reason to go out.
- Stay close to the venue at the Hotel Zetta, rated “Fabulous” by guests with spacious rooms, high-end amenities and a perfect location for enjoying the fair and the city’s attractions.
