Surrender is always a solid fun club to go to. I used to come here all the time last summer (before Hakkasan and Light). Now that there are more choices I don't come as often but Surrender will always have a special place in my heart.
In the summer Surrender is awesome because they have Splash dance parties, Encore Beach Club, and the outdoor portion is the perfect temperature at night. Currently the tent thing and heat lamps do keep you pretty warm but it isn't the same as summer.
Surrender does have good DJs but I feel that now there are so many other clubs for DJs to go to they have to spread out the love a little more. Some of the DJs I have come to Surrender to see are: Madeon, Diplo, Porter Robinson, Zeds Dead (I have no idea why I came for them), Morgan Page... Still some good DJs but Hakkasan and XS are gonna have the heavy hitters like Kaskade and Tiesto still.
I always feel comfortable at Surrender and people are generally pretty nice and nobody is a snoot. It is a chill nice club. Girls can be walked in with a bunch of other girls around 10:30-11pm. They will usually get a wrist band for the open bar and will be seated in the comped tables/cabana area. They usually bring out champagne and vodka for these tables. Girls only though. Guys can still be put on guest list usually for free with even ratio or discounted admission.
Even though I don't come as often as I used to, Surrender will always be the original fave spot of mine.
P.S. If you use Twitter you can tweet while you are at the club to @surrendervegas and they will post your tweet on the TVs in the cabanas.
