| - The gold standard of clubs in Vegas.
Yes, it's the club that everyone wants to see and be seen at.
But I loved it for other reasons...
- It's gorgeous and huge, complete with an enormous dance floor, a beautiful outside area that has a pool with a bar in the center and yes, even stripper poles surrounding the VIP tables.
- Ladies, you can dip your tired tootsies into the pool but don't even think about jumping in.
- The music was pretty amenable to all, starting with classics earlier in the night (gotta love Journey when you're drunk), then standard hip-hop / pop fare (Lady Gaga rules all still), and finally house music at the end of the night. The DJ even through in some Kings of Leon and Chili Peppers earlier on.
- Now, this may seem like a silly thing to note, but outside, there are ledges everywhere, which you can sit on! I don't know about you, but after 3 hours in 4 inch stilettos, my feet feel like they're gonna fall off. And the fact that you can sit down without having to be at a table is just lovely.
Some things to know before you go...
- There is a guest list, but it's only for parties with all girls and it's only for Sundays and Mondays.
- Cover is $30 for guys and $20 for gals.
- Get there early (like 10:00) because the line gets HUUUUGE. But overall, the wait's not too bad.
- The line itself is pretty organized, with bottle service guests to the left of the club's entrance and general admission to the right.
- The drinks are mad expensive: $17 for an Adios. So I'd recommend pregaming elsewhere.
- If you walk through Encore earlier in the night, you can happen upon a promoter who can give you passes for free admission.
I think that's about it! If you're only in Vegas for a couple of nights, you should definitely make XS one of your stops. Happy clubbing!
