| - I've been here more than once. It has a great reputation, and the interior decor is off the hook. But let's just be real- this place is SO, SO completely overrated.
People complain about the long line, and rightfully so. But when I got in for free and didn't have to wait in line, it STILL sucked. Not what I expected- Not by a longshot. It was jam-packed crowded, the bar is impossible to get to, and you are literally rubbing shoulder to shoulder (and god knows what else) when you want to a) walk to the bathroom, b) dance on the dancefloor, c) get to the bar, or d) hang out. anywhere.
The other time I went I did wait in line, which wasn't that bad. As long as you have a beer in your hand (there's a bar outside near the line) the wait will go by. After all, isn't this is the rule of thumb for countless dudes (and the girlfriends that are forced to stand in line with them) that go to Vegas? But again, once you get inside Pure, you realize that waiting is just NOT worth it. I'd rather wait in a LONGER line at a club with a "Lesser" reputation (i.e. RAIN). Or go to Tryst at the Wynn, which doesn't sacrifice any of the upscale trendyness that Pure has. In fact, it twice outdoes Pure.
Personally, on a good note, I admired the clean and chic appearance of Pure. On a bad note, it's almost bright- everything is white. Me, I like a darker club/bar environment (i.e. RAIN) where you can have fun and party rather than be stuck in a stuffy, stuck-up, all-white atmosphere where you're worried about what felt like a random sweaty hand that just rubbed up against your ass. With so little room to move around, shit like that goes down at Pure easily (to me and my entire posse)! GROSS.
Unless you're desperate for a Lindsay Lohan or Paris Hilton sighting, skip this place.
Yeah, I know, the view of the strip is great from the rooftop, but that's really the only thing worth paying for when you come here. And if you're even sober enough to remember anything the next morning, it shouldn't be "the great view" at the top of Pure.
go meet people and get drunk elsewhere. somewhere that's worth the scrill.
