The Copa Room, Entertainment venue in Paradise, Nevada

The Copa Room was a showroom nightclub inside the Sands Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, seating about 400 people. Hotel manager Jack Entratter designed it to replicate the Brazilian decor of New York's Copacabana, where he had worked for over 12 years. It was demolished in 1996 when the Sands was imploded.

The Copa Room was the showroom of the Sands Hotel on the Las Vegas Strip, demolished with the hotel in 1996. It took its name and Brazilian-style decor from New York's Copacabana, whose showgirls manager Jack Entratter had overseen for over twelve years. Antonio Morelli was musical director through the 1950s and 1960s. In 1981 the Sands in Atlantic City, New Jersey, opened its own showroom under the same name.

The showroom took its name from New York's Copacabana, where manager Jack Entratter had run the venue for over twelve years; his showgirls, the Copa Girls, carried the name to Las Vegas. Entratter designed the room to replicate the Copacabana's Brazilian decor and barred the Copa Girls from appearing fully nude onstage.

The Copa Room no longer exists: the Sands Hotel was imploded in 1996, so there is nothing left to visit at the site on the Las Vegas Strip. Its name survives in the showroom opened in 1981 at the Sands in Atlantic City, New Jersey, which hosted many of the same entertainers.

The room took its name from New York's Copacabana, where manager Jack Entratter had run the venue for over twelve years. He designed the Copa Room to replicate that club's Brazilian decor, and he never allowed his Copa Girls to appear onstage fully nude.
