| - I'll start by saying; it took a while for me to write this review. Yelps description of a 2 star place pretty much sums it up, "Meh. I've experienced better". As I'm getting older, I'm turning more into an economist than a club goer. The design of the club is set up perfectly for MGM Grand to cash in on the lucrative VIP table service product. I wouldn't doubt that it makes more revenue per square foot than any other establishment on the strip. Their goal is clearly to steer the customer into buying a table, as it is nearly impossible to hangout within the club unless you have one. With so many tables crammed into every inch of the place (many without a view of the DJ booth or dance floor), there is less room for the reason why people go a nightclub, to dance. As well, I don't understand how other Yelpers can call this place "huge". Take out half the VIP tables, expand the dance floor, and only then you can call it big. I grew up seeing these type DJs in warehouses, afterhours clubs, and raves long before it was called EDM. Those types of places you can call "huge". Personally, I didn't like the décor or sound system as much as the other strip night clubs. I'd be shocked if it beats out Marquee or XS in DJ Magazine's Top 100 Clubs in 2014.
A couple tips if you must go here:
Get your tickets ahead of time. If you're staying at the MGM Grand talk to whoever is handling your reservation to set you up free ones. I'm not a high roller and have a penis, yet I pulled it off on a night the Bingo Players were spinning. It can happen, just ask around and plan ahead of time.
When checking in, request your room on the West Wing part of the hotel. It is the shortest walk to and from the club (also the shortest to the front doors out to the strip). The stairs are pain in here, no sense in making things worse on the walk back to your room.
Absolutely check out the hip-hop room. It reminds me of when clubs were clubs: low ceilings, thugged out women, and bass driven music.
If you buy a table, make sure it doesn't have a view of a wall. Many do. Request one on the dance floor or in the balcony that overlooks the dance floor. You won't be disappointed with these tables.
Everything else equal here in Vegas, you'll find the typical douche bag bouncers, trust fund schmucks, and over priced drinks. Good for MGM's piggy bank, bad for people who actually want to dance to their favorite EDM DJ.
