| - Being situated in the hotel I was staying in for the weekend (New York New York), I figured that ROK would be a great choice to hang out at while I was in Vegas for the weekend. Points for the GIANT equalizer on the face of the building that looks like it actually pulsates to the beat happening inside.
This review is an average of two different experiences, both on the same night; Happy Hour and a special Labour Day weekend Saturday night.
The Happy Hour was a complete win! 2-for-1 drinks out on the patio adjacent to The Strip. Can't beat that. Plenty of space to sit and lounge as you imbibe in drinks. Of course, drinks in Vegas clubs are fairly expensive, so when you get two for one, it totally softens the blow. Points for Beer Pong on the patio, also.
I returned later on that night, as Naughty By Nature was spinning/performing and I didn't really want to miss that. Arrived back at ROK around 10pm and the line to get in was an hour wait easy. After waiting for about ten minutes, I went up to the front with a couple kids I was hanging out with that evening and explained to them that we had been there before and if there was anyway we could just mosey on in. It worked and we were in. $15 cover for guys and free for girls. Whatever. Inside, the venue is pretty sick...the centerpiece being the 360-degree wraparound LCD screen at the top of the house. Brilliant! Also, the sound in the place is amazing! The clubs here in San Francisco should take a couple pointers from ROK. I had a great time all night and really enjoyed the clientele (not too uppity, not sleazy), the staff (very friendly and accommodating and kept the crowd moving) and was a great night out overall. Looking forward to adding ROK to my list of spots to visit when I go back to visit.
