| - Club review only:
I'd say LAVO is within my top three club experiences:
-Vanity
-Tao
-Lavo
-Jet
I went here on Tuesday night (12/21/10) with three friends. Because one of the girls works for Tao Group corporate, we didn't wait in any lines, free entry and got open bar wristbands (all the soda water I could drink haha.) Yay us!
This club is in need of a way larger dance floor, otherwise, I'd say it was five stars. When we first got in, it wasn't crowded; there were just a few groups of girls on the dance floor. The bar was a little crowded, but not by much. Fast-forward about an hour and a half later - you couldn't even move. Any inch of floorspace in the entire upstairs was packed person to person. Forget about trying to get on the dance floor, you won't be able to push your way through the walkways. Bouncers were continually telling people to move out of the walkways and exits. They really should have turned people away and sent them to Tao. It was just way over filled to the point of it being a fire-hazard. The girl in the freaking wheelchair on the dance floor... ummm... yeah, talk about issues trying to get around a packed crowd!
The music was on par with most clubs. There wasn't any hyphy but they played Chris Brown and Justin Bieber. The crowd went wild. Mmmmhmmm. Good stuff.
As a girl, I freaking loathe when a club is 90% chicks. I'm not going to Krave (the gay bar) because I want to dance with the opposite sex - guys. I want to dance with guys. I don't want to be surrounded by girls. At Lavo, this was not a problem. Girls, if you're decent looking, I'm pretty sure you'll get hit on and dance with at least 4 or 5 guys. I did. I'm sure this has something to do with the crowd being about 60/40 girl/guy ratio. Another plus is that although the guys are flirtatious and have no qualms about dancing with you without your permission, they're not the Ed Hardy or rude crowd. They're not necessarily putting high pressure on you, even if they suggest things. Most seem to have some actual manners, which is rare for club guys.
Oh, by the way, the girls' bathroom is killer. It's Moroccan themed and gorgeous. I want one in my house, even though I don't need an oval room with 10 stalls. It was gorgeous.
I'd for sure come back!
