This...was...horrible.
We went to Krave last year when it was located on the strip behind Planet Hollywood, and as tourists expected to find it in the same location. When we couldn't, not a single local working at PH could tell us where they relocated. The website was difficult to navigate so we asked a cabbie who told us they reopened in Rio. The cab ride to Rio was quick, as was the disappointment when the staff told us it closed, and again, they had no idea where it had moved to. Finally we figured it out and grabbed a cab downtown.
Navigating through the complete mess of shady tourists and shadier locals we only found Krave by accident. I had emailed to be on the guest list...but wasn't added. After showing the email confirmation we were allowed in without charge.
This place is an abandoned movie theater with temporary signage and reminded me of a bad trip from Fear and Loathing (not an exaggeration). There was one dance floor open with more gogo dancers than partiers. The music was good but I kid you not when I say that I have never experienced anything louder in my life. The bass was so heavy that when I sat down on an empty "stage" I felt like I was going to crap my pants. The lights were awesome but, like the club goers, couldn't fill the space. We had one vodka tonic (or maybe just tonic) and took off. In the elevator my boyfriend leaned up against the wall and was COVERED in lube...seriously the nastiest thing ever.
The entire experience was such a disappointment as there are no good gay clubs anywhere in all of sin city for tourists and locals alike and this place has zero potential. There is no point in being the largest gay club in the world when you're only referring to space....empty clubs are such a downer.
If you like being the twentieth person at a warehouse party head to Krave, if you like good music and good looking people head to any of the high end clubs on the strip and call the cover a draw on the time and cab ride downtown. (There are sexier guys there anyway and it doesn't matter that you're gay because everyone is drunk and dancing and NOBODY GIVES A CRAP)!
Maybe we're spoiled coming from L.A.
