Here is a secret tip to have a great time at Surrender: Search for @SurrenderVegas on twitter early in the day before the show you want to attend. Look for promoters with guest lists and send them a text message. Be nice and they'll hook you up! You'll save money AND time by taking a few minutes to plan.
We originally wanted to go to XS, but it was dead, and heard Calvin Harris was playing here, so we quickly walked over and texted our original promoter dude who quickly got us onto his list at Surrender.
This club is massive inside! You walk in through the main area where the DJs play and then come out into the Encore Beach Club which is now set up for nighttime activities. We spent a lot of the night watching to see if anyone would accidentally fall in the pool, but sadly it never happened.
Drinks will set you back about $15, but that's standard for places like this in Vegas.
What I like about this place is that it's so large you can move around pretty easily and get away from the crowds of people when you want to. The dance floor itself is relatively small (though not as small as Marquee) and is surrounded by VIP tables that open onto the floor. You'll see bouncers with their only job being to protect the VIP tables from dancers.
Calvin Harris played an amazing set from start to finish. He really made the experience so great.
Surrender is now on my list of clubs to return to the next time I am in Vegas!
