| - This place was NOT FUN. We got on the guestlist to ensure that we (a group of 5 girls) wouldn't have to pay a cover. We waited in the all girls line (which they have on sporadic nights. This one was a Saturday) for about 30 minutes since the club wasn't even open yet, and then got in pretty easily. The sad part was, we got in and felt like turning back around out the door. It was kinda empty, a lot of old and awkward adults (not really a crowd for 21 year olds), and worst of all..
the music SUCCKKEDDD! They played some weird ass techno music that I could've done the robot to. We thought maybe it would get better, but nope. It was just bad the entire time we were there, sadly dancing in the corner of the dance floor. Dude, they played the boy is mine. Yes, the song by monica and brandy. Really? Do people dance to that music? Sooo awkward. My girls and I left after like 20 minutes. We sat at some slots, which I actually won at! Haha. So I guess that was a plus. And then some girl came up to us and asked if we would like to go to the old Opium, which I guess is called Poetry now. Anyway, that's an entirely different review, but it was fun there and better than Pure. So just know that.
I've heard good things about Pure from friends so I'm disappointed that our experience was lame. Oh well.
EDIT 1/20/08:
Okay well I just went to Vegas again for new years! And I had to come back and add onto this review. This time around, we went to Pure on January 1st. I kinda figured it might be crowded since it was the day after new years eve, but then again I also thought maybe it'd be not so crowded since everyone probably left town already. Welp! My first instinct was right. That place was sooo packed. I went with 5 girls again (weird coincidence, they were all different girls from last time), and so we got in for free. What sucked was how disorganized the "line" was for so-called guestlist folks. It was just this big ass mob around the door with people fighting to get the attention of any bouncer they could.
Anyhoooo. We got in and it was hard to even walk around. Drinks were expensive (but what's new in vegas), but the music this night was crackin. Paris Hilton showed up and everyone turned into strange picture taking robots with cameras permanently focused on the VIP area where she was dancing all silly. Uh, it's just Paris Hilton. I understand if you want a shot or two of her since she's kinda famous and stuff, but really. Folks were taking pictures for like 45 minutes straight. Give your arm and the people trying to dance around you a break.
Overall the place was better than the first time I went. Still not great, but better. On a less crowded night with the same music (hip-hop/mainstream/DANCEABLE music), I'd be down to go again. For free.
