| - Wow, what a comeback! There is no way that I am the only person who came to this club with little to no expectations. After having postponed its opening by a month, and after Hakkasan's, just what could Light bring to the table that hasn't been done by everyone else and their mother already?
First, the club is located right at the base of the self park escalators which I'm sure every girl in heels can appreciate. I had gone with a group with table reservations, and I have to say that when the host was getting ready to lead us in, I loved that they mentioned, "You guys are at table #53, so if anyone gets lost, ask any of the staff to direct you there." Man, if other clubs were in this practice, it would have saved me a grip of stress and grief in the past for what is supposed to be a fun night out.
Once you get past the entrance (an unfortunate exterior that "looks like a Christian homeless shelter," as one friend put it), there are a minimal number of stairs that bring you KABOOM to the bar, which is foreshadowed by an unusual birdcage*. The club is much roomier than most of us thought ("Was [previous tenant] Rumjungle REALLY this big!?") and has multiple floors a la its sister club Haze over at ARIA. The DJ booth is front and center of the club with a small dance floor; it looks like a big push will be for tables, which surround the dance floor on different elevations, followed by standing space towards the back right before a long and lengthy bar.
The club has extensive lighting features (well I would hope so!), and that is a huge plus when highlighting one of its biggest attractions - the Cirque du Soleil acts that begin later in the night several times per hour. These are not your traditional go-go dancers that hop on a platform with bikinis and furry boots; nope, they don unique Cirque-y outfits and perform with much more acrobatic flair, and as the night goes on, more elaborate shows come onstage - there was one aerialist that had the attention of every iPhone in the place, and at one point there was a cast of Cirque performers in massive display-case-like sets behind the DJ doing their thing.
Overall, I LIKED IT. At first I wasn't sure if this place would be worth anyone's time, but the venue itself combined with a DJ lineup with some EDM sluggers like Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, Alesso, Bassjackers, etc. will be sure to draw a crowd. P.S. The website even lets you listen to music by DJs slated for appearance so those not familiar can get a vibe beforehand. Happy drinking and dancing!
*Upon exiting the club, the birdcage was for an exhibition where a model was having her body painted on - another cool detail.
