the pros:
- easy entrance thanks to chatting with one of the XS promoters (a surprisingly friendly, helpful, and seemingly down-to-earth guy that was hanging out in front of XS answering questions about purchasing a table for NYE... ranging from 1K up to 10K!) and getting contact info for a blush promoter (also equally prompt and friendly) who escorted us in. when we walked into wynn from the parking structure (around 11:30ish) there was also a guy giving away comp VIP entrance to ladies
- mixed scene
- fun people-watching
- elegant decor
- great music: oh how i heart old school music... go tupac!
- outside area... with few smokers! of note there's a bar outside so don't waste your time getting pushed around inside
downers:
- OVER-crowded (and thus long wait for the 3 stalls in the ladies' bathroom) and unfortunately difficult to dance (no dance floor... more like dancing in the aisles between the tables)
- typical over-priced vegas drinks ($15 for a long island). i saw a girl pull out $10 after ordering a cocktail and immediately knew it was her first time in vegas
- the fact that i'm getting old: LMFAO was scheduled to perform the night we were there but we got sleepy around 1:30am and left before they hopped on the bar and did their thing... and i'm in las vegas, trick!
