NEW VENTURE IN SOPHISTICATION

THERE is so much to love about Nineteen but what did co-creator Billy Cross want to achieve with his joint venture? “Firstly Simon (Gloftis) and I wanted to create a one-stop entertainment venue but it had to be something that had never been done before,” said Billy. “Sophisticated and a place where Gold Coasters and visitors can dress up and feel that it is a special destination. When they exit the lift we wanted them to have a high level of excitement about coming here. We don’t apologise for aiming Nineteen at a sophisticated market so we have tried to combine a New York roof top bar with a mix of Las Vegas and L.A. to give the Gold Coast something very special.” They have definitely done that and then some.
