| - Went here on Saturday, January 22, 2011 as the first of the four clubs I stopped in at that night. If there were more (not gross) people there, this place would get a 4-5 star.
So my friend Jen S. had a coworker who was having a birthday party, and I was her +1. She had a birthday dinner that I decided to skip because it was at a Cheesecake Factory in Summerlin and I didn't want to drive all that way then pay to have dinner with somebody I didn't know. The birthday girl's dad bought a suite at the Luxor so we were supposed to all meet at Luxor before heading on out to Haze where she supposedly had a table (she didn't, but that's another story.)
Fast-forward to 10:00, I was at the Luxor, walkin around, waiting for everybody to show up. A club promoter gave me a VIP pass to Cathouse and told me there was free champagne for ladies until 1 AM. That's pretty unheard of, usually a free drink or open bar is only until 11:00 or Midnight.
At around 10:45, Jen showed up and told me the group was still at Cheesecake Factory. Umm... wtf? We didn't want to continue to chill in the lobby, so we got another Cathouse pass (and a bunch for LAX too) and headed on over.
We waited about 5 seconds to get in. There wasn't a line at all. We went up the stairs and... wow, this place is really gorgeous! I would never have thought the Luxor would have such a pretty club. It's like, what I think the decorators at Tryst were imagining, but failed to capture. There's tons of framed, black and white, pictures lining the walls of 1800's-1920's burlesque dancers and women in lingerie. It doesn't look trashy at all, actually. The place looks sort of like Haunted Mansion, minus the Haunted part.
At the top of the stairs, there's a gorgeous red chaise lounge that you can sit on and have your friend take your picture. Do this!
Once you walk in, apparently, depending where you walk in, you'll be in a very pretty hookah lounge. I can't believe how pretty the tables are - much better than any of the clubs I've experienced bottle service at (Haze, XS, Tao.) Oh, and it doesn't smell like smoke, suprisingly.
Jen and I thought the hookah lounge was all there was. Nope, there is an enterance to the club through the hookah lounge and a hallway. There are two stages for people to dance on within the dance floor. Unfortunately, two morbidly obese girls in jeans and $1 tube tops were shaking it on the stage that has rails. Bleh. There weren't many people dancing, and the ones who were, were kinda gross. Hopefully, it was just an off night.
We got our free champagne - they give you a lot, but in a plastic cup. Hehehe. I danced on one of the little stage by myself for a bit, unfortunately, I wore stupid fancy shoes, covered in faux diamonds and stayed on with a black ribbon around my ankles. It was way too slick in the shoes I unfortunately donned that night.
When we got a text from the rest of the group saying they were finally at the suite, we left to go upstairs. We were there a total of about 20-30 minutes.
If there were more people on the dance floor (it was dead because it just opened) and there was more "refined" people (not yokels in jeans) there, I'd give this place 4-5 stars.
Oh, and after the debacle at Haze with them not having a table, we got a call at 2 AM from the group telling us they got bottle service at Cathouse but Jen and I each went home instead.
