| - In a Stefon (from SNL) voice:
"Las Vegas' hottest club is Marquee. This place has everything. Lights, confetti, cold air, foam, ballerinas, mermaids, a cool bartender with nerd glasses, and just when you think the fun is over, unce unce who is there? It's Kaskade!"
But forreal, Marquee Nightclub is pretty tight. The space alone is unique and stands apart from all other clubs in Vegas right now. I am not saying that it is the best layout but it is different for sure. The endless stairs to get from floor to floor in Marquee made me thankful that I wore sandals instead of heels. The stairs aren't even nice stairs, they are fire escape stairs haha. There is the top trance main floor where they have the famous DJs spin. They have a hip hop floor but I only saw that floor when I was trying to get up to the trance floor. I heard the music was good. But I needed to be with Kaskade. There is a library floor on the top, but once again, too focused on the trance dance floor. You can wander outside where the Dayclub and pool area is if you need to get some air. It is right outside the main dance floor and there is a big screen projecting what the DJ is doing inside so you can still be part of the trance love.
I really love that Marquee brings in the hottest DJs from around the world to spin. It is even cooler that Kaskade is their resident DJ. Freakin' awesome! Marquee is raising the bar for Vegas clubs. I wish I was there this weekend to see ATB and Armin Van Buuren. The Dayclub brings in pretty cool DJs as well, but it's all about the night. At night the music comes alive and the lights are beautiful. The giant screen behind Kaskade was pretty mesmerizing... as were the ballerina dancers accompanying him. The effects such as the bursts of cold air and the foam falling from the ceiling make the experience even better.
Getting in can be a tough feat. My friends and I all bought tickets for Kaskade in advance so that we wouldn't run into any problems the night of. Female tickets $20 and Male tickets were $60. But if you contact a promoter (shout out to Jenn Tang!), she can give you passes for the girls to get in free and discount for guys! We all had tickets except my bf who decided to go to Marquee at the last minute, after the online sales had stopped. He wasn't able to wait in the stand-by line alone because you need a 1:1 ratio of girls to guys. So they told him to come up with the ticket holders to see if he could buy a ticket. Amazingly he was able to. The bouncers were being extra nice... maybe cus he was with 5 ticket-holding girls at the time. He used a discount card and paid only $45.
I would recommend girls to go to the all girls line with a pass on the 3rd floor. Guys I would say buy tickets in advance. Even with guest list the line is ridiculous. Get in early (9-10pm), get your stamp, go back to the hotel, preparty, return by 11pm. Kaskade didn't start playing until 1am but you want to be on the dance floor maybe by midnight so that they don't close it off.... which they did periodically cus the floor is tiny!
As for the Dayclub... you can contact a promoter to get you on the list because I would not pay to get in to this pool party. There is basically no where to sit if you didn't buy a cabana! My girls wanted to lay out and tan, but with such limited space, it was nearly impossible. You must have swim attire on. Two girls got kicked out of line in front of me cus they didn't have bathing suits on under their clothes. Don't bring a backpack. My bf had to walk back to our room to put his backpack away. By the time he got back, we had realized that it wasn't worth it to stay. Dayclub is not the best. The private jacuzzis by each cabana are pretty cool though.
Marquee + Kaskade = happy me.
