| - I have been out of the electronic scene for some time. I lived my 20's in the Bay Area and fell in love with both music and its accompanying culture. I entered a "musical desert" in my early 30's, that took me away from this genre. In any case, this desert wander has stumbled on this oasis, known as "The Hard Hat Lounge." Music line up for that night, for those interested in checking out their music online, to see if this venue plays stuff you like is here:

By and large, I was pleased with what they were playing. Having as I said been out of the scene for a bit, I am going to hold off trying to categorize the overall music. Terms like "Progressive House" could well get me crucified by the music police out there!...But that is what I THINK, I remember what the term sounded like.
Acoustically, they had a REALLY good sound system. Both in and outside the venue where there are some tables and seats for you to chill. Well if you could stop dancing for a sec. Sometimes the session was just too good!
Clientele-wise, the demo graph (based on this night) is early 20's. With a few outliers (like me). Which I HOPE does not mean I will not find a scene here in Las Vegas that is geared to us older partiers! But back to the topic, You will see all the classic stuff associated with this genre; very cute women spinning/twirling/throwing led glowing hula hoops, dudes with other light emitting devices, but in both cases worth a moment of your time to check out. Some of the performers were quite skilled, I was impressed.
Interior was, as expected very divey, but certainly not the worst I have seen. Hell, some people like it that way though, seedier the better you know? So to each there own. The important thing was that I felt safe enough to enjoy myself.
I guess the only negative to the evening was the food that they got at the little kitchen. Not a problem if you want a burger or some similar bar food. But I guess it kinda bugged me that the $12 Korean "Bulgogi" plate they had, didn't come with the kimchi it listed (they ran out), didn't come with a cucumber salad (it was a lettuce salad with some pickles), and it didn't actually have any bulgogi meat.. it was hamburger meat (see this link for what bulgogi looks like:

Which I guess some might not care (I was hungry so I didn't much). There is a fine line between marketing and lying I know, but I felt compelled to call BS on this one! Other than that, not a bad venue.
