| - Well, I am not a club person. My wife loves to dance so I am sort of dragged into this experience.... Yes, I am the ball and chain.
Hmm, I don't know where people get the idea that there is not a long line here.. yikes, we must have waited over 40 minutes after the doors open..... before the doors open, we waited another 1.5 hours prior. I wish they had a Quick Pass line like Disney... lol...
Tickets --- recommendation, do NOT pay for the cover charge. It is like 20-40 bucks (whatever the price and the night i.e. Wed vs Fri/Sat night -- honestly, I don't know the price -- I have never paid for a cover here)... My recommendation is to go to the concierge or to the front of Caesars (come dressed up)... there are casino staff in front of the casino (as you walk in) , just ask and they would GIVE you FREE tickets into the PURE. It says VIP, but really, you are stuck in line...
Lines -- Honestly, someone told us to come at 9:30pm... They were right, we got our Free tickets and got in line (it is located on the side wall next to the Pussy Cat Lounge). I thought it opened at 10pm. I was wrong... they open the door at 11pm. And, they have another line for true VIP and guest of the hotel. Those guys get preferential access. Of course, they sporadically, let in the other VIP lines slowly (yes, people with either the free tickets or the suckers who are willing to Pay the regular price to get in)... The line must have wrapped around the hotel. It was as far as I can see... those poor people probably didn't get in until after 3 or 4am! We were finally let in around 11:40pm. And, again, it was free..
Drinks -- dude, this was WAY expensive. I think my mixed drink was like 15 to 20 bucks per pop and my wife's small bottle water was like $5 bucks. Are you kidding me?? I guess being married with a mortgage and expenses have me looking more closely at prices...Worst thing was that I did get a buzz and ended up downing like 4 drinks... Next time, note to self, chug a few drinks before you get in... If you play at the casino, drinks are free...
Environment -- There are multiple rooms. But, the main room is this totally white - bed like atrium. It was kinda cool. They also have a roof floor - however, because it was so cold outside (early March), most of the guests stayed downstairs.... Honestly, I thought this whole club was a bit cheesy.
Dance Floor -- hmmm, where can i stand without people bumping into me. You had less than a twelve inches by six inches worth of space to dance. Yes, I felt like a sardine. Truly, girls grinding against me -- NO problem.... Guys grinding against me -- Major problem!
As for music, the reason why I gave this three instead of 2 stars, the music was jamming. Thank god, they do not play hip hop (or as much of it). Most of the music is pop/rock n roll/and some techno...
As for our stay, we stayed until about 1:30am...
Overall, this was a good experience. I must admit that I have been back a couple times since with the wife. It is a cool place to go out, make the wife happy, grab a few drinks (beforehand of course), and let loose...
Cheers and enjoy!
