 Press Release V Entertainment presents, BLISS, the first of many soon-to-come enterprises for this avant-garde company. With an appellation like BLISS, we can assure you that your experience will be exactly that. Exuding pure opulence, this cosmopolitan ultra-venue was created to cater to a chic clientele. Designed with intoxication of the senses in mind, each of the three main areas of BLISS is distinguished by hue. Expect nothing less than superior service and entertainment including live musical acts, choreographed theatrical performances, fashion shows and themed private parties. Craving a more exclusive milieu? Join us at one of our twenty VIP tables or ascend to the second tier of BLISS for first-class treatment in the azure tinted VIP lounge, where seven private balconies allow you to engage in our diverse entertainment. The fusion of beautiful people, luscious libations, and unrivaled music sets will seduce you into a state of BLISS.
Décor: Someone put down a chunk of change for the interior, and it shows: chocolate wood covers most of the walls and balconies, while plush orange couches with inset TV screens line the long side of Bliss (the color combination here makes it unintentionally Halloweeny). While much of the furniture is pretty and inviting you cannot touch it unless you've been deemed VIP (with help from your wallet). If you can't afford it you're left to stand or lean heavily on one of the three glowing bars. There is an abundance of VIP space available, from the couches to the DJ booth, to all the way upstairs on the balcony. This surplus of VIP makes sense since the owner claims he introduced the idea to Orlando a decade ago. One surprising attribute of Bliss is that it's smoker-friendly, with ashtrays and matchbooks basking in the flashing lights.

Drinks: A rare thing in any very hip joint is a good price and a good pour, but Bliss has them both. A wells mixer goes for $5, and gives a nice shiver when sipped. The glasses are actually plastic, but they don't feel cheap; rather it feels like a trendy means to keep your drink lighter (and the place less-prone to broken glass violence). Premium mixers hover around $7, while martinis are $11 to $14. Domestic beers fall on the steep side, ringing up at $4. Mondays are service industry nights, where you save a buck on domestics (down to $3), ultra premium mixers are $5, and martinis go down to $7. You can also nab a bottle of Roberto Cavalli vodka for $100. Wednesday is ladies' night, where you estro-gems get to drink for free until midnight (and get a free bottle of champagne if there are four of you). Sounds: Loud, very loud DJ-mixed house and hip hop somehow finds its way to your throat, preventing you from speaking clearly enough to be heard by the people you came with. Crowd: A mostly 20-something group hangs out at Bliss, many of them in the VIP areas awaiting their bottles, adorned with a flaming, sparking roman candle, to be delivered. Tip: Ladies, if you're heading to the balcony VIP section and you're wearing a dress take care when standing near the railing lest you turn yourself into an enticing peep show to the non-VIP plebeians below. Alas, privilege has its price.
