One of the hottest names in the nightclub industry, Cory McCormack, along with business partner Jason Giambi, is raising the bar when it comes to Vegas nightlife.
Managing partner of the Nightlife Group — the team behind Vanity, Wasted Space and Rehab, and together with the Dolce Group, Rare 120° and Johnny Smalls, all at the Hard Rock Hotel — McCormack has been a fixture in Vegas' nightlife scene for more than a decade.
Fresh off the recent opening of Johnny Smalls and Rehab's seventh season, McCormack spoke with "Las Vegas Magazine" about some of his Vegas faves.
Vanity: We've been open for a few months and I continue to get fantastic feedback. The club is unlike any other in Vegas or the country, for that matter.
Family: I have a 6-year-old boy, Mason, so I spend a lot of time with him. He plays Little League, so when I have off time I'm with him playing baseball.
Philippi Sports Institute (PSI): My partner Jason Giambi started it with Mark Philippi, who was a seven-time Strong Man and UNLV strength and fitness trainer. Mark trains a lot of professional athletes and because of my relationship with Jason, he trains me, too.
Hard Rock Hotel restaurants: Of course, I usually eat at Rare 120°, but if I'm not there I eat at Nobu.
Blush and XS: I always have a great time at those clubs and I have relationships with the guys who operate them. ... If I'm going to go out and spend my money, I'm going to do it with people that I like.
Shopping: I do like to shop; I have a shopping problem. Most of the shopping I do is online, but I am also a fan of John Varvatos, which is at the Hard Rock Hotel. I also like things that no one else has ... Jason and I get these jeans from Japan that are $900 (a pair).
Rehab: My wife, Shannon DuPont, runs Rehab and everyone loves her. We have a great team running the pool party. The pool, and how it is laid out, is built for partying and decadence.
