Crazy To Spend $50 On Cover, But It's Vegas
SITREP
The LAX Nightclub is a spot I will hit when I'm in Vegas either when taking a break from Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly madness, when friends are hitting the craps tables, or I just happen to be on this side of the strip.
THE SETUP
Honestly, who wants to spend $50 on cover (for guys) to dance? But I put it into perspective: I may be with a group of friends who are taking this moment of a couple of hours to play craps or Black Jack. Most of them lose considerably more than a couple hundred dollars in THAT endeavor. I at least get to dance to some jamming tunes and even meet some really nice people & socialize the rest of the night.
So you do the math....
DJ EXTRAORDINAIRE
It's been fun in the past because my buddy DJ Ernan (originally from Sacramento, and where I'm based now) has done gigs here and when lucky enough to align my schedule with his, he has gotten me guestlist privileges, so that's a plus as well.
PHYSICAL PLANT
It's a beautiful dance floor and a nice physical layout of bar-to-dance-floor ratios. It kind of reminds of the old Barcode club we had in Sacramento before it was demolished (*sigh*).
THE LOWDOWN
LAX Nightclub is a decent - albeit not my favorite - dance stop in Vegas. If I can make the cost and timing work for me, then there's a chance I will enjoy myself without breaking the bank. ;)
