| - Let me start off by saying this: My first and only (so far) experience with XS has been with its definite highs and lows. So why the 5 star review? Because the lows weren't within the club's control.
So my 2 friends and I got pickpocketed while we were on the dance floor, losing all three of our phones, as well as my credit card, some cash that I had on me, and my driver's license. Now, mind you, all of my belongings were on me in a small zippered over-the-shoulder bag (ZIPPED SHUT). At about 1 am, I was on the dance floor and went to check for the time, when I realized that my bag was wide open and my phone was gone. My friends and I checked the dance floor (to the best of our ability) and the lost-and-found to no avail, but I told myself that there was nothing that I could do and that I must've been careless and left my bag open. WE DID NOT EXPECT that two hours later (while we were on the floor dancing again) that my friends' phones would go missing too, as well as the rest of my belongings in my purse (which had been unzipped AGAIN). At this point we realized that we were in fact the victims of pickpocket thieves that deliberately went into our bags and searched for items to sell/use/keep as their own. We were all distraught, and I had no money, no phone, and no identification at all. That was when we decided to leave the club (around 3-3:15 am) and realized that there were multiple girls that had gotten their phones and other items stolen from their purses. The security guards were calm and helpful (especially considering the multitude of crying girls they had on their hands) and we filed a security report as well as a police report the next day. I would strongly suggest that girls be extra cautious with their things, especially around a crowd of people. Next time I go, I will definitely be leaving my phone at home and keeping my credit card and license in my dress or something.
With that being said, even with our things getting stolen, my friends and I collectively agree that it was the best night of our lives. We came the night that Martin Solveig DJed, and although we hadn't heard much about him, his music was AMAZING. It was a perfect mixture of Top 40 remixed into club beats that lets you feel the bass running through your body. The drinks were expensive, yet pretty strong (17 for a long island) and the crowd was very attractive. As many have said, the venue is HUGE, which allows for a lot of mingling but even when the dancefloor was super crowded, it didn't get the least bit hot and sweaty like it did at Hakkasan the night before. Try and get there a little before the club opens. Sounds lame, but you'll thank me when you won't be waiting hours in a ginormous line. Just mingle at the bar for the first hour or so if you're early. I'm sure you'll find someone attractive to talk to!
Coming from Boston nightlife, I honestly feel like nothing there will even come close to XS. It's actually a little depressing to think about having to go to smelly, sweaty bars again and having to dodge creepers left and right in the Bean. Womp.
ALSO (for the ladies): NO LINES FOR THE (CLEAN!!!!!!) BATHROOM. And there are plenty of lotions and perfumes to spritz on yourself if you are feeling a little nasty.
I really wish that we didn't get our stuff stolen. Not for the reason of having my old cellphone back and not having to cancel my credit card...but for the sole reason of us not having to leave early and abruptly. I will definitely be going back, but I will also be doing things a little differently.
XS I miss you.
