| - This club is HUGE, but that doesn't mean it doesn't get crowded! You will lose friends so easily, and people can be pushy because it's wave after wave of people. Get here early because the line forms fast, even around 9:30pm. I've never been to Tao.
The music WAS great when I went here with my boyfriend a few times. However, my last visit with my friends on July 4th wasn't so great. The music was mostly trance/techno by 12-1am. No wonder a bunch of people were leaving. Don't get me wrong, I do like trance/techno, but I can't dance to it for long, because it doesn't feel "danceable" to me. I can't get into the flow, even though I'm so buzzed. I can dance nonstop to hiphop and house even when I'm sober. And the mixes felt inconsistent as well - they didn't flow that well. The DJ sucked - I couldn't believe that I could have such a bad time at XS just because of the music. The club felt empty by 1am, even though there was a huge line of people outside the club, waiting to get in.
The bars are still crowded as hell - best to just go outside and into the hotel, play some tables to get cheap drinks, or go to the bars and spend $5 less on mixed drinks.
There are places to sit, but it still gets crowded on holidays and special events. Make some friends with those who have table service - that's what we did during Spring Break. I also saw Criss Angel, but apparently Paris Hilton's been frequenting XS lately. Also, apparently there's a guestlist. I'm still not sure how to get on it, but my friend somehow got us on one, so it was free cover AND priority entrance.
