My Hyde experience was top-notch.
I went to the nightclub on a Tuesday (apparently the club goes off each Tuesday). I was staying at the hotel, so with a quick call to the concierge I was added to the guest list. ...Arrived at the spot about 11:30, told host I was on the list, and bam - they let me in without having to stand in line. In my opinion, one of the biggest reasons to stay at a joint like The Bellagio is to take advantage of the perks afforded hotels guests. ...The club is mostly an enclosed area but the back of the room opens to the famous fountains. It was cool to see the water tricks from this perspective.
The prices for drinks are outrageous. You have to know this, and just be able to deal with it. The truth is - you are experiencing WORLD CLASS nightclub entertainment, and it is costly. The DJ was excellent. Not that he did any amazing scratching - but he kept it moving as well as any I've heard. His mixes and cuts were without mistakes or glitches, and the selection of music was relevant, and included enough hip-hop to keep it from being an EDM fest.
The peak truly was an amazing sight to be a part of. The lights, music, and natural energy of a Vegas party was everything any club goer could ask for. Did I mention, this was a TUESDAY!?
I will be back hopefully to see if Hyde can continue to be among the best club experiences I've ever had.
