As you navigate the bustling streets of Manhattan, you're greeted by a symphony of sights and sounds. The towering Empire State Building stretches towards the heavens, while the neon lights of Times Square illuminate the night sky, casting a dazzling display of colors onto the bustling crowds below.

Central Park, a sprawling oasis amidst the urban jungle, offers a tranquil retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. Here, locals and tourists alike gather to relax, play, and enjoy the beauty of nature in the midst of the concrete jungle.

But perhaps the true magic of New York City lies in its people. From the ambitious entrepreneurs of Wall Street to the struggling artists of SoHo, New Yorkers are united by their resilience, determination, and unyielding spirit. In this city of dreams, anything is possible, and the possibilities are as endless as the skyscrapers that pierce the sky.
Manhattan:

Manhattan, the beating heart of New York City, is a vibrant island bursting with life. Its skyline, dominated by iconic skyscrapers like the Empire State Building, One World Trade Center, and the Chrysler Building, is a testament to human ingenuity and ambition.

The streets of Midtown Manhattan are a constant whirlwind of activity, with throngs of people rushing to work, tourists snapping photos of landmarks like Times Square and Rockefeller Center, and performers showcasing their talents on every corner.

Greenwich Village, with its charming cobblestone streets and historic brownstones, is a haven for artists, musicians, and bohemians. The neighborhood's eclectic mix of shops, cafes, and theaters exudes a laid-back, creative vibe.

Central Park, spanning 843 acres in the heart of Manhattan, offers a serene escape from the urban chaos. From its tranquil lakes and winding pathways to its iconic landmarks like Bethesda Terrace and Strawberry Fields, the park is a beloved retreat for New Yorkers and visitors alike.

Yorkville is a neighborhood on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, New York City, United States. Its southern boundary is East 79th Street, its northern East 96th Street, its western Third Avenue, and its eastern the East River. Yorkville is one of the most densely populated city subdivisions in the world.

Brooklyn:

Brooklyn, situated just across the East River from Manhattan, is a diverse borough known for its vibrant culture and thriving arts scene. Neighborhoods like Williamsburg, known for its trendy boutiques and hipster cafes, and DUMBO, with its converted warehouses and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline, attract artists, musicians, and creatives from around the world.

Prospect Park, Brooklyn's answer to Central Park, is a sprawling green oasis designed by the same architects. Its rolling hills, picturesque lakes, and winding trails offer endless opportunities for recreation and relaxation.

Coney Island, with its iconic boardwalk, amusement parks, and Nathan's Famous hot dogs, is a nostalgic reminder of New York's seaside past. Each summer, millions of visitors flock to the neighborhood to soak up the sun, ride the Cyclone roller coaster, and enjoy the festive atmosphere.

Queens:

Queens, the largest borough by area, is a diverse melting pot of cultures and cuisines. Neighborhoods like Astoria, Jackson Heights, and Flushing are home to vibrant ethnic enclaves where you can sample authentic dishes from around the world.

Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, Queens' largest park, is home to iconic landmarks like the Unisphere, a symbol of the 1964 World's Fair, and the Queens Museum, which houses a vast collection of art and artifacts.

Long Island City, once an industrial hub, has undergone a dramatic transformation in recent years, emerging as a thriving residential and cultural destination. Its waterfront parks, art galleries, and stunning views of the Manhattan skyline make it a popular destination for both locals and tourists.

The Bronx:

The Bronx, often overlooked by tourists, is a vibrant borough with a rich cultural heritage. The birthplace of hip-hop music and home to the world-famous Bronx Zoo and New York Botanical Garden, the borough offers a wealth of attractions for visitors of all ages.

The Grand Concourse, a wide boulevard lined with elegant Art Deco buildings, is the Bronx's main thoroughfare. The neighborhood is also home to Yankee Stadium, the legendary home of the New York Yankees baseball team, and Arthur Avenue, the "Little Italy" of the Bronx, known for its authentic Italian restaurants and specialty shops.

Electric Labyrinth: Casino and Night Club
Map

Exterior/Entrance

Electric Labyrinth is an entertainment gigaplex, a combination of every form of entertainment for adults the city has to offer. The building has circular shape from the outside and has twenty floors. It's a nightclub, casino, lounge, concert venue and more. Here you can dance the night away, sample the finest spirits and cuisine from around the world, explore our suite of virtual reality experiences, take in a show, blow off some steam at our gaming tables or slot machines, visit one of our tattoo parlors or electronic shops, and if that's not enough, you can even rent a private room for you and your friends to experience more intimate entertainment.


Entrance/Ground Zone

The main floor of Electric Labyrinth is open to the public. The center of the area is a massive venue that is much like a small stadium. The main venue is surrounded by multiple levels of dance floors, bars, and private tables and booths. Each level has a balcony that looks out on the main entrance and gives a view of the other levels. Beyond each balcony is another room, each with a slightly different decor or feel. Some are geared for dancing, some for conversation, some for dining. Many people never venture beyond the main club that is Electric Labyrinth.

Beyond each balcony is another room, each with a slightly different decor or feel. Some are geared for dancing, some for conversation, some for dining. Many people never venture beyond the main club that is Electric Labyrinth.

Second Zone - Stellar Casino

Take a gamble in The Stellar Casino, a high-energy space dedicated to games of chance and skill. The casino floor boasts a variety of tables for classic games like blackjack, poker, and roulette, as well as futuristic, holographic slot machines. Neon lights and digital displays add to the excitement, while expertly crafted cocktails are served at the casino bar. The ambiance is electric, creating an immersive and thrilling environment for those seeking the rush of gaming.

Third Zone - The Starlight Lounge

Spirits flow and appetites are sated in the Starlight Lounge. Several stages adorn corners of the main room, set far enough away so as not to detract from one another. Photo-electric sound barriers muffle outside noise from each stage's onlookers to ensure a quality experience. Depending on the night, a rotation of performers - ranging from singers and dancers to magicians and comedians - grace those stages, drawing in excited crowds at the low price of a cover fee.

Through a large, secured entrance, an auditorium can be accessed within which larger shows are booked - the bigger names in showbiz with ticketed seats, often booked months in advance by guests.

Yet another entrance, draped in red curtains and flanked by tough-looking men in suits guards an exotic dancing club called Moonrise, complete with VIP rooms and other cordoned off places for the more scandalous activities that can be found here. It's here that many of the city's upper echelon in organized crime like to do business and the establishment caters well to these patrons. Drugs, money, people, and sex are all currencies here.

Secret Zone - Between stage

What would in other establishments be called Backstage is located between the third and fifth floors, separating the parts of the club that are accessible to everyone from the truly exclusive parts. Large parts of it are storage and offices, as well as the club's kitchens, but there are also more interesting places here. Like the security room with camera access to every last inch of the building, including the private VIP rooms. Or the meeting rooms where the club owners discuss business that they don't want their guests to accidentally overhear.

Of course, customers aren't allowed here, but with a bribe and a whisper in the right ear or a set of quick fingers swiping the right access card, nothing is truly off-limits.

Fourth Zone - Gaming and Virtual Reality Rooms

Night Tech Virtual reality brings you the newest and hottest technology. These are rooms where people can immerse themselves in an entirely different world. Put on a headset and the floor will move with you and the program reacts to your movements. An extra fee will get you a ai driven holographic person to be with you and an even more extravagant fee will get you a real one.

Fifth Zone - The Suite New You

What's the best thing to do when you are drunk, or so high you have no common sense? Make permanent alterations to your body of course. And assortment of tattoo parlours and percing shop. The entire floor emulates an open air street market but entirely enclosed within the club, with various shops and stalls, as well as shopping for souvenirs and food stalls.

Basement Zone

The first basement level is a series of tunnels for heavy machinery and equipment that spread under the first floor and main venue. It's used by the staff and performers to move around without obstructions from the crowd. The area is only open to the public for emergency evacuations if needed, but it never happened since the building was completed.

Sub basement - The PIT - Arena and Fight Clubs

In the depths of the levels below Electric Labyrinth is the arena. The main arena hosts sanctioned fights from international boxing, martial arts, and MMA fighting leagues, while smaller arenas host local up-and-coming fighters. It is rumored that secret arenas host unsanctioned and illegal fights.
