The venue is mentioned in the song Vegas Two Times by the Stereophonics.[ citation needed ]
In 2012, Studio 54 closed to be replaced by the London-based Cantonese restaurant Hakkasan, including Hakkasan's first ever nightclub. [3] The props from Studio 54 were due to be scrapped in 2016, but was attempted to be saved by a former manager from MGM. The collection, now housed in a warehouse, includes rare photographs and decor from the club’s heyday, including massive prints of Donna Summer and Tim Curry. Some of it was displayed at a special First Friday event in downtown Las Vegas in 2016, with part of the proceeds benefiting a local women’s shelter. [4]
