| - If you are in Vegas to have a great time, then skip The Marquee Club and head out to one of the other "upscale" clubs. If you are in Vegas to satisfy some checklist of stuff that you saw on the travel channel or celebrity gossip, then your purpose is obviously different, so proceed...but ye be warned. Personally, I went in with no expectations but still came out utterly disappointed.
Pros:
Packed with people
Excellent bottle/table service
Multiple dance floors with different music genres
Great view of the Strip
Cons:
Packed with people
Rude bouncers, door people/security, and management
Very long lines for everything
I went to The Marquee Club without knowing a thing about it. We had VIP table reservations, so I figured everything was going to run smoothly, until we got to the Club. There were nearly 500-600 people waiting in one line and another 300 waiting in another - I thought it was because we were early and the doors weren't open, but it was actually because the Club was already full. The longer line was for people without table reservations: they let you in when space opens up (slim chance) as "standing room only" for a hundred dollars cover. The shorter line was for people with table reservations: they have limited number of tables so you have to wait until one opens up, but at least you're guaranteed to get in.
The club was packed with people - sardine can tight. It was impossible to find a place to dance on the dance floors, let alone walk through them, and a lot of people ended up dancing in walkways, near the fences, and other odd areas where they could find enough space to move around. Some people danced near a chain link fence without even getting a sniff of the dance floors. By the way, there is no place to sit if you don't get a table, and drinks are expensive. Only when I'm on vacation will I think that spending four thousand dollars on a bunch of bottles is justified - just to have the convenience of couches and an area to dance.
