| - Surrender Nightclub was my second official go at a Vegas nightclub. The atmosphere, pretty nice size and good musical vibes made the place a pretty good recommendation for any club enthusiast. However, if you do go, unless you're a.) a female or b.) connected, you should be aware of a few things that might put a hamper to your experience.
One of the biggest things to realize is that it's an outdoor beach club and it's a really good size. There's a VIP area near the DJ, a middle area, a back casino area and some side areas that have some open pools (not allowed to swim at night of course). There's a few bar areas, the largest being in the back.
The second big thing to notice is that (at least the night I went), the actual area near the DJ with the go-go dancers and another bar was cut off to only the VIP. I wasn't sure if this was always the case for every night but we went when Calvin Harris was playing. Girls got to sneak in pretty easily but if you're a guy, expect to be pushed back without the VIP wristband. Too bad. Also, being an outdoor club on a hot summer night, don't expect it to be much cooler with no misters or any fans I could notice. (But again, at least the music was good.)
Make sure to get your name on a guest list or have a connection too of course - luckily even though the line seemed pretty far, it went by fairly quickly.
Ironically, the best praise I have for the club is their security/reassurance. I lost my credit card at the club and after retracing my steps and asking numerous security guards/bartenders if they've seen it, was about to give up and cancel it. However, a nice bartender told me to call in the morning and lo and behold, they found it. Kudos to the security for the miracle.
I'll make a second run at the club because it seems really cool but my first experience was a bit meh.
