| - So, I went to Chateau for the first time last night with my fiancé and two of our married friends from out of town. Initially we were going to go with bottle service, but had decided to just get our names on the list from a handy hookup rather than cough up the bills for a table and bottle we might not even finish amongst the four of us. Anyway, we got to the doors at about 11pm (mind you I was up at 7am, at the UFC Expo from 9-5, UFC fights from 6-10), in need of a drink and much needed pick-me-up. We had no problems getting in (as many other clubs do), and headed up the stairs into the main room. It was nice. A little small, but nice. It kind of reminded me of EVE Nightclub. We went straight to the bar and I ordered our first round of drinks: Two Midori Sours, a vodka soda, and Corona for $48.00 pre-tip. Gosh, do I despise Vegas bar prices sometimes. So, we scoped out the club and found ourselves waiting in line to enter the elevators under a sign which read "BAZAAR." We figured, eh, people in line, let's go on up! In line, we also got the thrill of having to wait a few extra rides up the elevator to allow Taylor Hicks (former American Idol salt and pepper haired winner) up with his entourage (yes, I know... HE has an entourage). Once we made our way up, we were pleasantly surprised by the amazing outdoor deck right underneath the Eiffel-in-Vegas tower! I now understood the Chateau Nightclub "& Gardens." We enjoyed a few drinks with the sights of the strip, Bellagio fountains, and I kid you not, an 80 year old man dancing away with a hot group of ladies like he was in his twenties. The music seemed to be mainly house, techno in the gardens and mainstream hip hop in the main room. I definitely want to come back and maybe try their bottle service in the near future.
