The bouncer stopped me at the door, looked in my bag, and did not let me go in because I had eye drops for my dry eyes (due to smoke in Las Vegas) in my purse.
While I appreciate that the bouncers and staff at LAX nightclub have strict restrictions to avoid illegal liquids being carried into the club (like roofies) that protect vulnerable women, I was very disappointed by the lack of flexibility and rudeness of the bouncer.
The bouncer was a heavyset, dark Asian male with frizzy, unkempt hair.
I asked him if I could keep my eyedrops at the front with the staff while I headed inside and pick it up on my way out.
"NO."
"I need my eyedrops, I can't throw this away because the smoke in Las Vegas dries my eyes out. Can I please leave my eyedrops at the front with your staff and I will pick this up on my way out."
"NO!" Gives me a glare.
Because of the bouncer's lack of flexibility and rudeness, I shook my head, turned around and walked out of the line.
I ended up cabbing over to Drai's Rooftop Lounge at The Cromwell instead where the bouncers were much more accommodating.
Again, while I appreciate that the LAX bouncers are only looking out for vulnerable women being roofied or drugged with people bringing in illegal liquids in small liquid carriers, I was quite frustrated that there was NO flexibility whatsoever on meeting me half way. Even though I offered to leave my eye drops at the front and to pick it up on my way out, there was just no budging.
They lost my business and I will not be returning.
