| - My husband turned 40 on Friday, November 4, 2011.
For 3 months I planned a very involved surprise party. I visited MANY Scottsdale clubs, bars, entertainment venues etc to prepare for his "after party.'
I chose Martini Ranch over all of the other places I visited first and foremost because of Mike and Robert.
I dropped in one afternoon to check it out and there was a band setting up for that evening's entertainment. The downstairs has been newly remodeled and was very nice.
Robert took me on a tour of the entire club. He never tried to rush me or make me feel like I was a bother.
Many of the places I checked into, the club managers either never returned my calls, didn't show up for our meeting or acted as if they had something better to do.
Mike and Robert were fantastic to work with. I was in contact with them for a month leading up to my event (I am a freak) and they were always so nice and fun to talk to.
The night we showed up, Mike and Robert were there prepared for our arrival with wristbands and escorted us right to our VIP area.
There were 60 people in my party. Ages ranging from 23 to 50 years old. There were mant different age groups at the club in general. Everyone was so friendly. Our group all had wigs on and random people were coming up to us commenting and laughing at our wigs. Very easy going crowd.
The 3 bands downstairs were fabulous, but as the night progressed we all ended up going upstairs to the DJ area. We arrived at 8:30pm and closed the place down!
Maybe it's not the most prestigious place in town,(according to some of the reviews I read) but with that you miss out on all the pretentious snobs that go along with that type of environment.
Our goal was to go and have a carefree, fabulous good time and we did! One of my single friends even met a really nice guy. We met him for lunch this past weekend.
I didn't really pay attention to drink prices, but if your on a strict budget, maybe clubbing and drinking shouldn't be a priority anyway.
Even though we had eaten before we arrived, it was nice to have the food vendor available for late night snacks. Dancing really burns the calories!
The bartenders upstairs were so nice as well. The dreamcicle was my drink of choice.
The "pole dancers " were also a hoot! They were so polite! Everytime I put a dollar in her bra she actually thanked me! HAHAHA!
Several reviews mentioned the bouncers being "asses".,Anyone who works in that environment night after night and sees the "crazies" they do has to be on guard. They are there to do a specific job and they do it very well.
The bouncers even had to reprimand a few crazies in our group, but I completely understood. They are there to "bounce" crazies" and I am glad, for my own safety.
So, ANYWAY, longest review ever......
I close by saying, It was a very important night for me, and it couldn't have been better! I loved it! We all had a great time! I love Mike, Robert, the pole dancers, the DJ, the bartenders, the bands the bouncers etc! Made awesome memories! Thank you Martini Ranch!
