Like Tao, Rain is a sweet looking space.
If you're a pyromaniac, their fireball bursts throughout the night - are also pretty thrilling.
But Rain is pretty much. Like. Every. Other. Top 40. Club. In. Las Vegas.
You've got the generic music mash-ups - that mash so quickly - that you find yourself flailing around in soggy ready made potato mush, the no-sitting rule unless you're getting bottle service, and the pretty standard Las Vegas "this is my first club experience, I just turned 21, just flew here from Canada, check out my Miami vice tie" (all lines spit at us throughout the night) crowd.
But...
the difference between Tao and Rain is that we actually stuck Rain out and we were able to execute our dance moves successfully.
Also...
The bathroom attendant in the women's bathroom, was amazing and let me keep my painful dress shoes in the storage closet, while I proceeded to dance in flip-flops. Some nice guys bought us a couple of rounds, they played Jesse's Girl (like 30 seconds of it, but still....)and we managed to not only slip into the VIP section, but ended up having ample sitting space as well.
I wasn't blown away by Rain, but if you reserve some seating space beforehand, wear some comfortable shoes, and bring a fun entourage - you could easily have achieve a four star mash-up good time.
Maybe next time?
