| - I LOVED The Act! Vegas definitely needed something quirky, lively, different and a little scary. If you want a big-name DJ, lots of scantily-clad 21-year-olds and a slew of black-out drunk frat guys, this place may not be for you. BUT if you can appreciate a new concept, amazing talent and a speakeasy feel, you've found your Vegas Strip gem.
My boyfriend, friends and I came here for NYE 2013; open bar for 2 hours was reasonable: $50 for girls, $75 for guys and included some appetizers (not passed around often enough and the quality was meh, but I wasn't there to eat).
As you enter, you're greeted by a gold statue. I won't go into detail as it's not exactly PG-rated, but let me just say that it sets the tone for the rest of the club. You walk through a windy hallway to be spit out in the middle of the performing area. As other reviewers have said, there is no dance floor. Instead, the Act is set up like a theater. If you go upstairs, you're technically looking down at the "stage" from the mezzanine or balcony level. There are bars and bathrooms on both floors.
The performances are really what set the Act apart from the rest. Not only are beautiful ladies hanging and twirling from the ceiling in little more than panties and garter belts, but some of them invite you up on stage to gyrate with them. There was also a performer beatboxing a medley of dance songs, which was probably my favorite part of the night. The acts don't interfere with your own party, though. No one stops the music to focus on the performers; instead, they just happen intermittently throughout the night and you're encouraged to join in.
The concept of The Act is fresh and fun; I'll definitely be back and will recommend this club to all my Vegas-going friends.
