| - This review is for the nightclub only, I have never eaten at Lavo, mainly because I have zero desire to dine in clubs.
My criteria for a good club experience is simple- good music, somewhat friendly staff, convenient bar space, and decent layout/ambiance. Lavo has none of this.
We rented a table and were there with a group of about 20. We were smushed upstairs behind the DJ booth and about 4 people could actually sit around said table. This was a Tuesday night at midnight during CES so it was pretty packed, but if you allow someone to spend $1000+ on a table there should be space for people to move. That place is so tiny- I cant believe it is even considered a club. The music was TERRIBLE. I am not a lover of techno but I can tolerate any decent music with a good beat. It was the same ungst ungst ungst song on repeat. I was wondering why the music was so god awful when they loudly announced the guest DJ for the night.....Kris Jenner (yes, the Kardashians mom) was spinning for us. WTF?? Why is Lavo paying her 20K to "spin?" That explained a lot. After about 20 minutes my friends and I decided our heads would explode if we stayed one minute longer and go to leave. Apparently, one of my friends walked on the "wrong side of the rope" as we were walking out and the bouncer grabber her arm and pulled her away. Then he rudely yelled at her to "get the F out of here". I was stunned that this man/ogre had not only grabbed her little arm and shoved her but yelled at her. I stomped downstairs and told another man/ogre bouncer what happened and asked to speak to a manager. He was nice (did not grab my arm and yell at me), but not helpful. I will never come back here. There are so many other fun clubs in Vegas (Marquee, XS, etc) don't waste your time at this one!!
