| - Pure was an ok experience for me in the beginning of the night. I went to Pure in April of 2008 because we were stopped by a guy on the strip who offered to try to get us in without waiting. It was our last night in Vegas so we thought "What the heck.. may as well". The host did his job and got us past the entire mob of people. And when I say mob... I mean I couldn't even tell where the line was.. It was pretty ridiculous and somewhat unorganized...
So we get in and the place is still somewhat empty because it's only about 11:30 Pm and a hundreds of people are still waiting to get in. The place was beautiful. It was just like the pictures you see on the website.. (You know the pictures of the venue that you'll never know reflected the actual club because by the time it's packed, you can't see one piece of the decor). White drapes, pink, purple and blue lighting. Dropped by the bar and paid a ridiculous 20 bucks for a freakin vodka redbull (18 + 2 for a tip). I was so disgusted by the price, i decided to have a double on the next one, lol.
So as the night progresses, we walk around, and take a trip up to the roof and you get a beautiful view of the strip and there's a perfect breeze.. But I swear it was like 70% male on the roof, cuz all of them got bottle service up there.. What a rip... pay top dollars just to see a bunch of fellas.. By the time I get down to the main floor, it's startin to pick up and we decide to visit the Pussycat Dolls Lounge (pussycat doll lounge is a small room in Pure which has performances by the females, singing, dancing, etc.). It cost $5.00 to get into the lounge and it was free for women. I couldn't believe how many guys in the club were cheap skates to get in this extra portion. It was less packed and it had a much better girl to guy ratio. Had fun in there and met a few girls who seemed to be very talkative. Danced with one group of gals, having a good time so far.
Finally I decide to go out to the main floor with my buddy (1:30ish), and it was the worst shoulder to shoulder crammed piece of crap I've ever seen. It was hot, stanky, nasty and everybody looked frustrated or pissed off cuz they didn't have enough room to dance, didn't have enough room to walk over to the bar, didn't have enough room to move in general. This is what turned me off the most about the club. People were sweating profusely from the lack of air and the slight scent of vomit was circulating. From that point on, my buddy and I went back to the PussyCat Doll Lounge and remained there.
Pure had its good moments. But overall, it was just a mediocre experience. So let's put it this way.
Pure better than Jet
Pure not as good as Tao
XS rips them all into shreds. If you would like to know more. Check out my review on XS.
Take care folks!
