| - I'm not the clubbing type, music so loud you can't talk, overpriced drinks, and the type of girls you'd find are not what I would generally look for, (well aside from looks of course) and oh yeah, I'm a nerd. So that should tell you how impressive I found XS. First off entering the club, as soon as we entered Encore from the parking garage we were greeted by a huge line that only seemed to go through the entire shopping area. Luckily one of the girls in the group knew somebody who knew somebody who . . . well you know how it works in Vegas. So no long excruciating wait and no cover charge so that will probably change your experience.
Once we walked in into the main room I immediately noticed the one big negative I have regarding this place. That smell! One of my friends described it best as either stale liquor, a massive gathering of b.o. or both combined. Hopefully that's not something that's always there and it people were just extra sweaty from the heat outside. Luckily once you walked away from the main entrance the stench wavered and was gone by the time you were outside.
Inside there really isn't anywhere to sit as of course it was a Saturday night and the place was full. This includes that rather small dance floor where you feel like a pack of sardines whenever the DJ plays something everyone loves. Eventually though you're able to get enough space for your group to move in rhythm a bit.
Luckily though, this was back when it was still warm outside and the all of the outside part of the club was accessible. This is what makes the place work for me. Outside there were plenty of places to relax, sit, talk and still get your drinks with a beautiful scenery. Expect it to be pricey, one round of drinks for 6 people were usually in the 70 to 100 dollars range before you throw in tip. Our group was able to dance on the floor, come back out, relax, get a drink, go back to the dance floor, rinse and repeat. It's as if all my issues with nightclubs never existed well except for the cost of drinks but what can you do, most of the group was from out of town you can't look cheap!
Of course all the people in the club well-dressed (IE scantily clad) and beautiful thanks to a strict dress code. Although I still wonder how a scruffy looking old man with a shirt that said "fuck you" (pardon my French) was allowed in the club. He was probably a millionaire as he was also at Drai's later that night.
Of course this rating belongs as much to the fun group of people I spent the night with as much as the club but XS certainly didn't do anything to detract from the experience and with their outside part of the club it only enhanced it. Next time I come back to a nightclub in two years (by my estimation anyway), this will be the first spot I hit. Making it rain y'all!
