| - Not my favorite spot to party, but it's tolerable enough to spend on a Friday night. Perhaps it just wasn't a good night. I don't know, I just don't really see the hype.
My friends and I bought pre-sale tickets to see DJ Chuckie this weekend and arrived around 12:30AM. Since we had tickets already, the bouncer just let us up to the front and we got in rather quickly. The elevator service to take us to the club was impressive and the operator was good at getting everyone pumped.
As soon as I stepped into the club, the dance floor was PACKED. We squeezed our way to the dance floor but were unsuccessful at getting anywhere closer than at the very back. DJ Chuckie was okay, but I've heard better and I guess I wasn't really feeling the vibe at first. Especially after I accidentally ended up eating confetti twice when they turned the machine on two times during a 15 minute time period. Guess I shouldn't open my mouth to scream, "WHOOOOOOO!!!!" whenever they turn the machine on.
We left the dance floor to grab drinks, and since I already pre-gamed, I decided to just get an orange juice. However, upon paying $4 for a small glass and tasting it, I discovered that it was WATERED DOWN by a lot. Come on, bartenders. You're charging me more than double the amount of what it's worth but serving me half the actual amount of what it is. Not cool.
And I guess leaving the dance floor was a bad idea, since the bouncers were not letting people back in throughout the night, so we just decided to dance towards the back of the club at the entrance to the outdoor area. My friends got separated often because it was so crowded and hard to find each other.
The outdoor area is quite pretty, although not nearly as spacious as XS or Surrender. There weren't a lot of sitting areas and walking around in 5-inch heels are not fun when you're wandering around looking for a seat.
Overall, it was an okay experience, although it wouldn't be my first choice. It is, after all, one of the "hottest" clubs in Vegas at the moment and they attract a pretty friendly crowd.
