I think I came on an off night. My girlfriends and I came in on a Sunday night since XS doesn't have a guest list for Saturdays.
Even though we were a group of girls on the guest list, we were in line FOREVER. It was nice that we got to get in for free and got a free drink. The line was killer, and the promoter we worked with wasn't very helpful.
It's a beautiful venue with a lot of glitz. The pool area is really pretty, and it's definitely nice to have the fresh air. We were there on one of those "pool party" nights so we actually weren't allowed to be inside the club...so I was a little bummed about that.
The pool party never really heated up that night. I've seen videos of how crazy these nights can get, but it was nothing like that when I was there. The club barely filled up. Everyone was sitting / standing around awkwardly. Only a couple brave souls were awkwardly dancing on the dance floor. It felt a lot like the dances I used to attend in middle school, where no one wanted to dance and all the boys and girls were standing on apposite sides of the room.
I definitely want to give this place another shot. It really is a gorgeous club, and I've heard such great things about it. Maybe next time I'll just shell out some money and come on a Saturday night.
