Went to Pure this past Saturday, I had a really good time! I was in a dancy mood but not in the mood to be a sardine so we kind of wandered all around the whole night with a mix of dancing and just mingling with people we met.
Our Group:
4 girls. My one friend was flying in around midnight but not a problem for me to go outside and grab her.
Getting In:
We were staying at the hotel so I asked to be put on the guest list. I have no idea if that made a difference. Got there right before 11. Asked the closest bouncer the deal with the guest list and he told me about the crazy VIP crowd area. Luckily after we made our way over there another female employee got us out and we were on the girls only line. Probably there for maybe like 2 minutes. Total time less than 10 minutes. No cover. Being stamped I got my friend in quickly when she arrived (by that time there was no more girls only line).
Atmosphere:
Very cool that everyone else has described. I totally agree that if it weren't so hyped up it would be beautiful but not as a big deal as some of the other clubs. I really liked the fact there were multiple areas if you are in that kind of room. LOVED the patio upstairs. Red Room was cool, I think it was open in the beginning of the night (best place to get drinks fast) and then closed off.
Staff:
Bouncers were friendlier to us than average. Total play on looks though, some girl was in front of the first bouncer waving in his face. I was right behind her, he totally ignores her pushes her aside and asks me how he can help me. Bouncers inside introduced us to tables of guys in addition to meeting guys normally. I will be forever grateful to the introduction of the cute Irish guys in the side room off of the Red Room because of the private bathroom. That thing was clutch!
Drinks:
As expensive as other clubs
For the Single Ladies:
We met so many groups of guys, it was great to just rotate among them when we were in the mood to wander to a different room. Some of the booths (in particular the ones on the deck) had older creepy guys but we cleared away. Other than that, typical bachelor parties and other VIP groups. Definitely expect to get groped on the dance floor in the main room (or at least a drink spilled on you)
Dancing:
Loved the different music in the different rooms. Main room is crowded for sure. Red Room and Main Room Top 40/Hip Hop, upstairs more house
VIP:
We were in VIP in all areas and they were all great. I really liked the Red Room and that little room off to the side of the Red Room the most because we wanted to be more low key. Interesting that you get stamped for a certain area and then a different stamp for another (more enforced upstairs from my experience).
Overall Experience/Crowd:
Everyone is right that the majority of real estate is VIP so I don't think we would have liked it as much if we didn't have access to it. Also, someone commented about this but this at The Bank the following day had a different vibe than past nights in Vegas. It seemed more touristy, the people who were watching E! or something and had to be there to witness which celeb was going to be there. Maybe that's just how clubs are changing now. Either way I would highly suggest VIP and coming here to experience it!!!!
