| - If you want to go to Moon (or any venue at the Palms, like ghostbar or Rain), check out promoter Chris Hornak at www.freevegasclubpasses.com. You sign up for his free guest list, and you're in. My partner and I got in for free on a Tuesday night with no wait (although to be fair, there was no line at all when Moon opened at 11:00 PM.) And I even got two free vodka well drinks! They gave me a wristband with two little pull tabs. You might have to pay cover if you went on a weekend. I'm not sure if it would be worth paying a cover (I find almost nothing worth paying a cover.) But it was definitely worth going for free!
I'm not usually a nightclub sort of gal. I'm more of a "read the guidebook for the city I'm visiting to learn about the local attractions" sort of gal. My Vegas guidebook said that you should "dress to kill" when going to Moon, and I had a bit of what-do-I-wear? anxiety. So I upped my ante as high about as it goes by wearing a little black dress . . . and flats. But I needn't have worried -- there were plenty of well dressed people there, and plenty of girls in killer heels, but also plenty of (very) weirdly dressed people there, and plenty of girls like me in sensible shoes. Lots of major hipsters, a couple of them a bit old to still be dressing like they ironically bought their clothes a size too small at the local Goodwill.
I had a great time dancing, and the dance floor became crowded quickly, even on a Tuesday night. The atmosphere feels a bit space-age, which is fun. At one point the staff gave out these huge foam light-up glow sticks, that everyone was waving around. It looked very cool! Plus, drunks are fascinated by flashing, light-up things.
The best part about Moon is the view from the outdoor patio. It's lovely and cool with a breeze, even on a hot desert summer night. And you can see the whole strip! (The view may be slightly better from ghostbar, a lounge that's located on the other side of the Palms. I'm pretty sure you usually get a stamp that gives you admission to both clubs when you go to either one.) Moon has a retractable roof, but they only opened it (briefly) once and then closed it back up again. I'm not sure why.
I didn't buy any drinks, because I'm cheap and I'm sure they were ridiculous Vegas club prices (and I got two free drinks anyway.) Why would anyone pay $14 for a cocktail when you could work the penny slots at a nice casino and get one for a couple of bucks?
