| - XS is by far my favorite club to go to in Vegas. When I go to Vegas (usually Friday - Sunday), we go clubbing both nights we're there and XS is a definite must for us to go to. Plus, you know this place is bomb when the line goes all the way to the end of the hotel and never seems to be moving.
Located in the beautiful Encore Hotel on the Strip, it's simple enough to find once you get in. There will be signs up ahead and there's always a hotel employee to ask so it's not hard to find. Typically, there's a guest list you can get on so it's not expensive, but there's NO guest list for Friday or Saturday nights. Girls typically get in for free before around midnight, but sorry, guys, it's gonna cost you $30-50. Sucks having a penis in Vegas. The number of girls in your group will help with how much the guys will pay. Dress code for guys can be strict; guys, dress to impress - no dirty sneaks or looking sloppy. You won't get in, or any other club for that matter, looking like a slob. Just sayin'. My friends and I usually get in line at around 930, just so we can get our stamps and then leave to go pre-game at other nearby lounges or in our rooms and come back at around midnight when it starts to get crackin'. If you get in line at like 11, expect to wait a longgg time. I've seen the line get rediculously long, so yea.
Once you get past security and what not, you walk in through this gold revolving door (which is heavier than it looks - I know because I've walked right into it before because I didn't push hard enough). You then walk up some stairs and you find yourself looking at the club and it's amazing. Lights, tables, booths and the dance floor are what you see right when you walk in. Towards the right of the entrance, you'll see a bar. Near that bar is the entrance towards the pool/out door area. The outside is amazing and my favorite thing in the summertime. There are cabanas, small tables, a small casino area and the outdoor bar. The cabanas are really roomy and comfortable. The dance floor inside can get really crowded as in everyone is just rubbing against each other dancing and trying to walk around - especially near the entrance to get outside. Lots of rubbernecking I guess, so dancing outside is my favorite thing to do. The pool has a sort of shallow end, where people are allowed to dance in, but don't try and jump into the pool because you WILL get kicked out. Just stick to the shallow end, which will reach mid calf I guess and dance your hearts out. The music is pretty awesome. A lot of house, and top 40 remixes. You'll be dancing nonstop. Well drinks are about $15 on average, but not surprising since it is Vegas. Service at the bars is pretty good, seeing as how it's always packed. You don't have to wait that long - ladies, with the right dress and sincere smile, a lot of the guys are definitely willing to let you go before them. Haha, just sayin'. Doesn't hurt to have boobs in Vegas. The atmosphere at this place is pretty chill and somewhat diverse I guess - the crowd's ages run from mid 20s to 30s. You'll definitely run into people you know (the best friend and I have had our run-ins with people we wanted to avoid here - "You're here? Damn, I thought I left you behind in Orange County." Haha). The people are really nice I guess - mostly because everyone's drunk and just trying to have a good time. I've only encountered one incident where I had to break a fight between a friend of a friend and a stranger.
Summertime is the best time to go to XS. They have the pool and outdoor area open. I went with the best friend Katie N. and Rian A. for my birthday in December, and they closed the outside bar and roped a lot of the area outside so once it got crowded inside, it was pretty much suffocating and claustrophobic almost. If you're planning a weekend Vegas trip, DEFINITELY put XS on the top of your "Clubs to Visit" list. You will not regret it.
