| - I honestly don't know a single thing about how the food was - I came here specifically for the club. So this review will consider all things CLUB wise.
The only thing I really knew about Lavo is that it was the sister to Tao, the insanely popular restaurant/nightclub located in the Venetian.
First of all, the line-up they've been getting have been awesome as far as this House Music Fan is concerned. My man BT, Gabriel and Dresden, just some powerhouses as far as trance goes. I'm all over it! I was a little wary, though, as I've gone to clubs to go see a particular DJ/artist and had to spend bank and wait forever and be subjected to someone's judgement if I was tall, rich, hot enough to be there and just waiting to see if the actual experience itself was good enough to justify the trial to get in.
WELL, how did LAVO measure up?
I came on a Tuesday night about 11:30pm. I was dressed in all black with dress shoes, button down dress shirt, and dress pants. My partner in crime came punk-ish and we had a concern that her in her boots and torn but fashionista style would be barred. Thankfully, we were let in about a ten minute wait in line and after presenting IDs, were let in for free. Woo!
I'll admit, it is a little off-putting to walk over the restaurant to get to the actual "club," as you are looking down on the diners and such but it quickly gives way to the actual club space which makes you forget exactly where you are. The Roman Bath theme is pretty nice - understated but elegant with abstract lighting. The rows of fountains leading in are nice touch as well.
The actual dance/bar/lounge space is a little smaller than I'd like but we did find a corridor that allowed us to talk and hang (right outside the girl's bathroom), so we were able to enjoy our drinks without feeling too impacted. When we walked in I was NOT too happy as security was rushing past us with a group of people trying to find a place for them. My partner in crime informed me that one of the people in the group was a Kardashian so that explained the unmitigated, UNNECESSARY hysteria that was that entourage. Wanting nothing to do with that circus, I made a point of staying as far away as I could from that. (Sorry, I don't watch television, don't care about celebrities, don't care that you're famous for basically contributing nothing to society in terms of science/art/charity/concepts.)
BT comes on and does an hour and a half set between two DJs. I thought this set was a little short but WHO CARES, he's my favorite artist and he did a few of his own songs which was pretty cool. YAY BT.
The swag was pretty cool and I got a kick out of the golden dancing Buddha. I wonder if they got him on loan.
FRIENDLY bouncers/security.
BONUS POINTS for the security guy who saw someone trying to light their cigarette and offered them a light. Gentleman you are, sir.
SHORT VERSION:
On a Tuesday: 10 minute wait to get in. Slightly crowded. Vodka/Cran = $9. Friendly staff. Would go back again.
