Had a solid night out at XS last weekend @ the KASKADE show.
Why it's great?
1. stunning venue (outdoor and indoor)
2. gaming tables beside the bar (under a large gazebo)
3. can see / enjoy the DJ sets from both in and outside
4. the bartenders are cool when providing you with water
5. security was good, but not overbearing
6. The DJ mixes were amazing, keep the shazaam app handy
Things to note:
1. Buying our tickets online as part of the pre-sale got 3 of us in (2 guys /1 girl) for $130, vs. the $75 per guy cover charge at the door. Also, the prices went up to $100 (per guy) later in the evening...
2. Headliner won't start until ~1am and the bar is open until 5
3. when the headliner starts, the security tightens up around the dance floor area and once it reaches capacity, they stop letting people in
4. Drinks are expensive, $12 for a can of Corona (as expected)
5. Don't expect to sit anywhere unless it's poolside, or you have bottle service
Definitely worth a visit / trip back!
