Now You Won't Have to Wait Until January

It used to be that if you wanted to be sure to see porn stars at a bar, you would have to wait until January and go to Las Vegas and find the Oculus Bar (usually called "the Circle Bar") in the middle of the casino floor at the Venetian, where members of the porno-American community can be found —
any time, day or night — for four days.
That may not be necessary any more.
Adult film performers Veronica Rayne and Jack Vegas have announced plans to open Oxygen, a new restaurant and lounge they say will be “porn friendly in Porn Valley.”
“This has been a lifelong dream for me,” Rayne said. “I am happy that I can pursue both of my dreams, to perform in adult movies and open my own restaurant, at the same time.”
Rayne and Vegas have experience running nightclubs and bars in Boston for eight years before coming to the West Coast to pursue careers in the adult entertainment industry.
The restaurant at Oxygen will offer a full menu until 11 p.m. nightly.
“Our menu will reflect our varied tastes,” Vegas said. “We will serve everything from a real Boston steak and cheese to a chicken salad sandwich. For those with a sweet tooth, Boston Cream Pie and cheesecake.”
To reflect the couple's roots in the adult industry, booths will be dedicated to adult entertainers including Stormy Daniels, Marcus London and Brooke Haven.
“The people honored have stood by me through highs and lows and I wanted to recognize them for the quality individuals they are both on and off camera,” Layne said.
Scheduled theme nights include Monday Night Football, "Sex in the City" Tuesday nights, Industry Night on Wednesday and Lounge Night on Saturday.
The adult industry and celebrity only grand opening, sponsored by Brazzers.com and Adultbizlaw.com, will take place on Friday, Aug. 29, and regular service will begin on Saturday.
Oxygen is located at 19548 Ventura Blvd., in Tarzana, Calif., a short 282-mile drive from the Oculus.
