| - I was really sketch on coming here because new clubs with too much hype in Vegas, don't always deliver. I had heard it was small and lots of stair climbing and not a lot of hip hop. But I had to see for myself.
Okay, so I have a friend that works for Marquee so she was able to get my girls in for free and guys for $25, no wait, but we had to show up pretty early. So we got in, no wait, no problem.
My first impression was that the place is really lux and has that glitzy, high end look. But majority of people are not cute, at all. Lots of grenades. I mean a lot. I was shocked. Lots of janky people, really. I didn't get the high end, big money, modelesque feel from the crowd like you do at XS. If you're coming here looking for uber good looking people, it's not the place. If you have beer goggles on, okay. Docked a star for an ok-looking crowd.
We walked around the place to check things out but ended up spending the whole night posted at the bar in the Boom Box (aka hip hop) room. It was small and the dance floor is small and really packed so we just made our own spot at the bar and partied the night away. My good review may be biased since I was on Patron all night, so I had a really great time.
I docked another star because more of my friends showed up later around midnight, half girls & half guys. They let all the girls in for free but held the guys back for a long time. When the guys finally got to the front of the line, they told them they had to pay double cover ($60) then the door goons changed their story and said they had to buy bottles to get in. I think they let all the girls in the group in first, knowing the guys would have to pay since their girls are already in. That seems really shady to me.
Honestly, I party a lot in Vegas and pay for tables/bottle service but I'm growing tired of this trend of door guards basically doing a shake down of tourists and demanding tips for every little thing. I'm pretty sure club management and/or owners frown on this. I'm sure there's some type of regulation that does not condone this activity. But what can you do?
