OK.... I might be biased because, whilst waiting for the light show in front of Bellagio (it was my friend's first time in Vegas), we (=three girl friends and I) stumbled upon a doorman (by the name of Jerry) who introduced himself and invited us to the club. He gave us his number and told us to give him a call whenever we're ready and he'll escort us in.
Sure enough, we did call him after we went to another club in another hotel on the strip who turned out to be completely skanky. He picked us up at the entrance of the hotel, whisked us right in AND was nice enough to take a photo of us just before we walked in. The club was packed and the line was long so we sure were glad we got in without having to wait or pay for cover.
The music was probably the best we had on the trip - great mix of old-school Hip Hop with Top 40. Drinks are a bit on the pricey side, but, when in Vegas, you are expected to spend that way.
