| - The multi-level LAX is embedded in the Luxor hotel and casino. When I was there, crowds of party goers mobbed the entrance - there barely was a semblance of a line. Inside and out, their decor screams "nightclub". The gothic metal railings along the stairs are both ornamental and functional. Walking in, you're greeted by a striking large stone edifice separating the main walkway into two paths. Not sure I get why the nightclub is named the same as Los Angeles's airport, though.
Hot, plastic waitresses provide eye candy and only serve VIP tables, as far as I can tell. (I got a beautiful server to pose with a birthday boy.) The bartenders (Julie's is the only name I remember) are outstanding and customer-oriented, willing to listen if you want a special shot made.
Like Tao nightclub, the dance floor there is PACKED. Fascinating to watch, not really safe to dance in. Speaking of unsafe, I almost got beat up twice (a record for me) by two muy muy belligerent guys:
- Outside, I stepped on a guy's foot and he glared at me. A bouncer asked him to relax. (I'm skinny, he was tall and built... way to go, drunk guy.)
- Inside, a guy and I jostled into each other, fairly hard. I got a threatening look and then he slowly turned away. Yikes.
That night, the DJ mixed well and at some point, he rained dollar bills on the crowd. (Funny to see folks fight over paltry bits of cash.) There apparently was a famous athlete around that night but I had no idea who he was, though several drunken folks tried to point him out. Besides almost being beat up, I had a good time with friends and can recommend LAX as a venue and for their service.
