And the way they have you get into the place IS weird! Going up and down all these stairs and whatnot. But once I got in I liked all their different rooms and areas. They had a smallish dancefloor and bar right when you get in, and they have the main massive floor and stage which opens up to the pool area, which was pretty impressive. Then they have a small "library" on the uppermost floor that was mostly pay tables and seating areas, but also has a pool table, fireplace and a teeny dancefloor. They do have shelves going all the way around with actual books, and the female servers are rocking the sexy librarian look, which was pretty funny. But they were playing some mellow hip-hop and funk, which was a nice break from all the EDM shenanigans in the other areas and we ended up finishing up our very late night here. One thing to note about this area: unisex bathrooms. Which sounds all egalitarian and whatever until you happen to go toward the end of the evening and find that someone (probably male) had peed ALL OVER the toilet, floor, and possibly the walls--EW. The rest of the bathrooms are safely segregated.
It happened to be a super-busy weekend because DJ Dirty South was in town and the place was PACKED. Unless you buy one of their stupid tables or were manning a spot on the dancefloor since the place opened there was really nowhere to hang out, and you were constantly being forced to move by the security goons and their little flashlights. We'd found a nice little corner by the stage during the main set but were of course shooed out of there after about 30 min and had to wander around the club like displaced Israelites for the rest of the night. Hanging around outside wasn't too great either because it was so cold. I can't imagine how crazy this place must get during the summertime. Anyway, since I don't frequent places like this it was certainly an interesting experience, and my friends and I made the most of it. The best part was we were staying in the hotel so we were just a short elevator ride away from our beds!
