| - Just like any banging club in Vegas, go early. Unlike all the other clubs, this one is actually worth it. The general line moves pretty quickly/smoothly from what I heard.
Friday night: we land @ 9:30pm, check into our hotel, and hang out. We were getting drunk at random bars and someone decided to walk over to XS. I get a text message later, "Head over, it's $30 and the line isn't bad." Keep in mind it was 1:40am. I didn't believe him until I showed up because I already heard all the horror stories. Five minutes later, $30 later, we were all in. It was about 2am and this place was still out of control. I think we bailed close to 4am. I wasn't able to comprehend the time by then. Lost a few friends along the way, but saw them the next morning for lunch. Must have been that good then, right?
Saturday night: got in the table line at 9:05pm. A friend put us on reservations for 10 guys, which comes out to 4 bottles (supposedly every 3 people = 1 bottle and we were one head over so we had to round up). Got in around 9:55pm and got a cabana on the outside, 2nd floor. It was a bit far from the inside/dancefloor but it worked out. I believe if you want a table inside, you have to buy a certain amount of bottles? While walking to our cabana, the host said there's about 4000 people in line right now (supposedly there are sensors in the hallways that works as markers which estimates the amount of people in line). Who knows how many more people were in line later on.
This place is massive. You're bound to lose your friends if you don't keep track, have a plan, or a "homebase.' There's thousands upon thousands of people. Almost everyone is dressed to impress as they should be. The venue is monsterous and classy. The people are good looking and sexy. Ran into a lot of Cali peeps too.
We didn't plan on partying at XS both nights this past weekend, only Saturday night but I'm glad we did. It was that good. I'm usually not too impressed with Vegas clubs because they're all the same: claustophobia issues, humid/suffocating, and just too crazy that it drains all the fun. However, I am really impressed with XS. They have really set the expectation bar for how Sin City's clubs should be.
Random last notes: Don't accidentally fall into the pool. Watch your step. You can gamble (BlackJack) inside the club but I wouldn't if you're really wasted and can't comprehend (just a suggestion). Keep the drama at home and just have a good time.
