| - From all the propaganda around town featuring a logo of a mask, you would hope that there was some performance element to "The Act" Nightclub. And it certainly has it. The Act - a nightclub featuring random, short performances that are daring, sexual, and at times, borderline obscene.
From the creators of the nightclub "The Box" located in England, we have this new space: A sassy, sexual burlesque feature of short song/music/acrobatic performances that certainly is something different. The creators had a curveball thrown at them with The Act since The Box featured outright nudity and virtually no censors and it was considered okay by local laws. However, here in Vegas it's a different ballgame with different rules and laws. Not to say that it isn't somewhat shocking to some. An individual in my party, a Jehovah's Witness, was bothered enough to leave after twenty minutes. So if you're easily offended, (As the emcee, a post-performer from Cirque du Solei's Zumanity screams, "Take your f##king clothes off!" to the audience and two clockwork pop-and-lock dancers get high on coke and perform an off-the-wall hyperspeed sex scene), then this might not be the space for you. Although the contortionist who fired a bow with her toes while doing a single handstand stole the show. Awesome.
The interior: Luscious. As in I wish my house resembled this. Not a far throw from The Artisan, gorgeously decorated with classic, traditional designs, wall sconces, polished wood, and brass fixtures, winding corridors, narrow passageways that dipped and varied. Unisex bathroom, lots of antique furniture and pieces. A mite small, though. I'd be concerned about a crowd here as we didn't have that many people out there with no line and it was comfortable inside. Chronic problem of small dance floor, but even some of the best clubs in Vegas (Marquee/Tryst) have the same problem.
The music: Popular club songs that I've heard on the radio. Nothing crazy, but with this much insanity and organized chaos, I imagine that you need a pinch of something mainstream. Toca's Miracle was a nice throwback.
The staff: I SALUTE whoever hired the staff. Polite. Helpful. I was called sir several times. My date and I came to join a table for a birthday and there was no hassle. The door man struck up a conversation with us as we left, encouraged us to come back and check out the various nights as the acts varied from night to night. Everyone was very relaxed, eager to succeed, and the performers were teeming with confidence. I hope the best for this space - it's awesome, arty and off-beat just enough to make me want to return and see what else this place is going to put out. And that is what entertainment is all about.
