| - You could not pay me to come back here.
I'll start off with the pros: Marquee is able to lasso some renown DJ's (I came the night Redfoo of LMFAO fame was deejaying) and I liked the music in the main room and in the smaller hip hop area. There's a nice balcony/pool area, that is all the more enjoyable if you go during a warm evening.
Everything else about this club is a nightmare. If you are absolutely insistent on checking this place out, I have only one recommendation for you: GET A TABLE. If you do not get one, you will have to deal with the following:
1) Rude ass bouncers both outside AND inside the club! Yes, I understand you've been standing for hours herding and hustling people (most of whom are probably not fun to deal with, drunk or sober), but be professional. You chose this job. Or maybe you didn't. In which case, it might be time to get that GED.
2) Crowds and crowds of people. Maybe you're into that sort of thing, but I like to go to the club to dance, not have to deal with drunk white girls pushing me and screaming at me when I literally did not touch them and getting elbowed in the face and kneed in the back of my legs. If you do not have a table, you will constantly be herded by the bouncers to places with no space. You are NOT allowed to stand in walkways or enter dance areas that are already at full capacity. If you stop to rest, a bouncer will yell at you. If you stop to take off your heels to rest your feet (due to climbing an endless flight of stairs, see point #4), a bouncer will yell at you.
3) Nuclear levels of douchebaggery. Some guy named Cash who is an employee of this fine establishment helped our entire party get in without a cover. Honestly, I was thankful to him and wanted to just tip him for his generosity. But we didn't, and he ended up spouting some nonsense to us about how he'll get us a table and free drinks. Well, these "free drinks" ended up being $20 a pop and consisted of an 8 oz cup of club soda. No alcohol. My guess is Cash pocketed most of the cash and lived up to his name. Uncool, dude. No need for that type of play. I would have rather he be upfront about things. But that is exactly the type of BS that you'll have to deal with coming into a place like this. Naturally, Cash left to do his thang and the promise of free drinks and a table left with him.
4) The stairs: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/WUq8HJHIZU4uteB154XN7w?select=JvT5VYkd_3HHLnrljGKv7w. Absolutely unacceptable. Whoever designed this club needs to be fired.
Maybe more alcohol would have helped me tolerate the Marquee experience but alas, I'll never find out. I'd rather spend my precious time and money on XS or Tryst.
