BLING is an intimate, opulent nightclub at FIVE Palm Jumeirah that captures the spirit of old-school hip-hop and R&B, with Afrobeats and urban sounds from the US to the UK. The multi-level room is styled in 18th-century baroque, with a hand-painted Swarovski-encrusted mural, antique candelabras and ornate crown moulding. It is famous for its champagne show, guests can drive a supercar right onto the dance floor, and a live video system projects the night onto hidden screens around the club. The week runs La Sape on Tuesdays, 808 on Thursdays, PRVCY on Fridays, LOOP on Saturdays and Formula by Levier on Sundays.
