My opinion of each club in Vegas

XS Nightclub in Encore

XS is definitely the BEST nightclub in Vegas.  The venue is 80,000 sq ft with a pool in which people can swim @night on sundays during the summer.  "Sunday Night Swim" is tons of fun because there are tubes/floaties, beach balls, and water guns along with awesome DJs to make a fun night time pool party!  Regardless, XS is great because there is room to walk around and the dancefloor is HUGE!  XS is open Friday-Monday.  (CONTACT Me 702-557-4160 for free even ratio guestlist at XS Friday-MONDAY!)

Surrender Nightclub in Encore

Surrender is a beautiful nightclub.  There is a pool that is used for a beach party during the day on the weekends called "Encore Beach Club".  The cabanas around the pool are amazing and there are "Lily pads" in the pool to lay on as well.  I prefer dancing around the pool at Surrender, the dance floor gets crowded.  Surrender is open Wednesday-Saturday during the summer, on Thursdays they have "Dip and Dance" in which you can party @ night in your bathing suit.  There is usually a guestlist each night Surrender is open, ladies free (sometimes open bar for ladies) guys $20-$30.

Tryst Nightclub in Wynn

Tryst is the nightclub with the 100 foot waterfall in the Wynn.  It is amazing, the decoration is beautiful and the area outside by the waterfall is serene and romantic.  Tryst is more intimate of a nightclub, great for bachelorette parties and couples- I always hear great responses from groups I send to Tryst.  Tryst plays more of a hip hop mix of music which is great for groups that aren't into the electronic music that most clubs play in Vegas.  There is a free guestlist Thursday-Saturday @ Tryst in which even ratio free & ladies free drink tix.

Tao Nightclub in Venetian

Tao is decorated with an asian theme.  As you first walk in there are bathtubs with rose pedals and sometimes a girl sitting in one!  The venue includes a restaurant (asian food mainly), the nightclub, and Tao Beach on top.  Sometimes during the summer Tao Beach will be available to party at during the night- but no night swimming.  Tao nightclub has a main room and another smaller room that plays more hip hop and also a lounge downstairs with a bar.  This is a popular place, and gets crowded!  Tao is open thurs-sat, I suggest starting off at Tao for their open bar for ladies 10-1130 (most of the time); even ratio free and ladies on the list are free, free open bar.

Omnia Nightclub in CAESARS Palace

Omnia is Pure nightclub remodeled! It's pretty and visually appealing! The chandelier is fully mechanical and very fun to stare at! The main room mainly plays Edm music and there's a separate room for hip hop music to appease any type of personality. The outside patio area has a great view of some of the hotels on the strip, and I enjoy the option of fresh air.

1OAK Nightclub in Mirage

1OAK stands for "1 of a kind" and features two different bars on opposite sides of the dancefloor.  This club used to be called JET, it was remodeled and renamed.  The music here is more hip hop and they usually have an artist sing a couple songs either on a fri/sat.  Ladies get in free and free drink tixand guys pay reduced admission on the guestlist which is open Tues, Thurs-Sat.  The hosts here can sometimes get a group of all girls free appetizers at the restaurant "Stack" in the mirage before heading to 1OAK.

The Bank Nightclub in Bellagio

The Bank in Bellagio is a beautifully decorated club.  There are two bars on either side of the dancefloor which is sunken with VIP tables below.  The dancefloor is very intimate.  The club is small but there is a good flow.  Ladies on the guestlist get in free and guys get reduced admission.  The Bank will comp a group of ladies a free dinner at Fix or Yellowtail restaurant on a friday or saturday as long as they go to Bank after.  It is open Thurs-sunday.

The Palms- Ghostbar

Ghostbar also has a good view of the strip.  There is a small plexiglass area outside on the patio floor for a view of the parking lot below as well.  Ghostbar is small, a good club to go for the view and head somewhere else.  Ladies always get in free to each club and guys pay reduced admission but sometimes free on the guestlist to the clubs in the Palms - Ghostbar is open every day.

Chateau Nightclub in Paris

Chateau nightclub in Paris hotel has an outside patio area as well as an inside area with a dance floor.  During the day Chateau opens their patio as "Beer Garden" and promoters will stand outside and offer ladies a free drink to go in.  I like the outside patio area at night "Butterfly", but the inside is small and it is hard to walk through the crowd.  I enjoy Chateau most on Tuesday nights, instead of giving an open bar for free like most clubs Chateau gives out free candy for tips!  Gummy bears, cupcakes, chocolate fountain with marshmallows, cotton candy and more!  Chateau is open Wed, Fri, Sat.

Marquee Nightclub in Cosmpolitan

Marquee is a newer club in Vegas and popular because the whole area of city center is brand new and decorated nicely.  Marquee has a pool and each VIP table has a jacuzzi in front as well, although swimming isn't allowed during the night.  The club has a nice view of the strip and other buildings of city center.  This club gets REALLY crowded.  The dance floor is usually too crowded to enter, there is another room downstairs that plays hip hop but it is crowded too.  There is not an easy flow to this club, it is recommended to reserve a table if you choose to go to Marquee.  Marquee always has good house DJs though, and the DJ booth is huge with awesome visuals.  Ladies always get in free on the guestlist, groups of all girls will get in quicker and easier-but the list closes at 11pm on the weekends so prepare to be early!  One downfall about entering Marquee is there are a TON of steps to go up to get into the club, there are elevators that people sometimes get to go up but other times people get quite a workout walking up three flights of stairs to get up to the club.  Marquee is open Fri, Sat, Mon.

Hakkasan Nightclub in MGM 

Hakkasan is in MGM and it is a big place, the walls are decorated w stone slabs and there are high ceilings with a ton of room in the air! There is a lounge area beside the dancefloor area and an upstairs with VIP Booths to over look the crowd as well as a downstairs hip hop room.  This club reminds me of a mix between Tao and Marquee, there are a lot of stairs to walk up!! Its open Thurs-Sun.

Light Nightclub in Mandalay Bay

Light Nightclub is more like a Concert than any other the others.  The music will be electronic and the display of lights are amazing.  Cirque du Soleil provides unique performances and a great atmosphere.  There is a guestlist for ladies free entry and reduced admission for guys, Light is open Wednesday Friday and Saturday and ladies get free drinks.


Olympic Garden

Olympic Garden is a strip club. I always have a blast here, best male review for bachelorette parties.  The guys are incredibly HOT!  It is fun to throw money at hot guys, and there are female dancers downstairs in case the urge to throw money changes genders. Olympic Garden is a big club, and the atmosphere is welcoming.  I can reserve a free limo to pick up at any hotel with free admission as well, 2 drink minimum.



POOL PARTIES!

Encore Beach Club in Encore

Encore Beach is Surrender at night.  I enjoy the beach club more than I enjoy the nightclub.  The pool is big with "Lily Pads" in the water to reserve and two levels of cabanas.  Encore Beach books good DJs to perform on the weekends and ladies always get in free on the guestlist usually with a free open mimosa bar too.  The cabanas surrounding the pool are really nice, some with their own bathrooms!  My favorite part about EBC is playing volleyball in the pool.  The guestlist usually goes from 11am -2pm on the weekends.

Tao Beach in Venetian

Tao Beach is a smaller pool party but the vibe is always good.  There is a pool and a hot tub and lots of beach balls!  Ladies get in free on the guestlist with a free open bar usually.  I enjoy Tao Beach most on sundays because it's not too crowded.  There are always good DJs booked here as well, and its in the same vicinity as Venetian hotel pool which is huge in case you need a break from partying!  Tao Beach has daybeds and Cabanas to reserve and it is open each day during the summer.


Palms Pool

The Palms has a big pool area with two different pools and three different bars.  There are cabanas, tables and daybeds with table games to gamble as well.  Fridays are the best days to go, "Ditch Fridays", they have cool DJs with good dance music and the vibe is high energy with a laid back sense as well.  The guestlist to Palms Pool is convenient because there is a table set up by the line to mention a promoters name, ladies are free and guys normally pay $20 to get in.  Palms Pool is spacious enough to walk around without squeezing through a crowd, and the pool areas are big enough to swim and dance with enough space to rage!

Bare Pool in Mirage

Bare is a top-optional pool inside the Mirage.  It is small- there are two pool areas, the VIP pool has a glass pool wall for a view of what is under the water.  There are a few cabanas and daybeds, one bar and a booth for a DJ.  The drinks and food on the menu are very good!  DJ plays good music to dance to, this pool is good for bachelor parties who may want an eyeful of topless ladies without having to tip! Bare pool is open every day during the summer, ladies always free guys $40.

Venus Pool in Caesars

Venus is in Caesars Palace.  It is top optional and surrounded by lush greenery.  Venus is a more laid back adult pool good for laying out with some girl friends to have drinks and food and still have energy to go to a club at night.  ( A LOT of girls get too wasted at pool parties to make it out to the clubs at night! )  There are beach ball games and resident DJs that spin great music as well; I also recommend this pool for couples for an opportunity to spend time with eachother and make friends to party with later.  Venus is open every day during the summer, Ladies free and guys typically $20-30 on the guestlist.

Marquee Day Club in Cosmopolitan

Marquee Day Club has some of the best DJs on busy weekends.  There are cabanas with their own personal hot tubs surrounding the pool and a couple different bars.  The DJ booth is set up in front of a small area for dancing, and ladies on the guestlist will get an open bar for an hour to get the energy going.  The food is delicious and sometimes they will have hotdogs and hamburgers on a bbq for convenient and quick hunger fix.  Ladies always get in free when there is a guestlist and guys $25 and up depending on the DJ.  Marquee Day Club is open Friday-Monday.

Wet Republic Pool in MGM

Wet Republic is one of the biggest pool parties in Las Vegas.  There are two different pools and they are both big.  There are cabanas and daybeds surrounding the pool area and one large bar.  There is a huge TV screen with graphics and shots of DJ or special guests, and usually the cocktail waitresses and lady staff dress up in themed costumes and do choreographed bits to music sometimes. The pools are big enough to enjoy your own space and beach balls end up being put to use in mini volleyball tournaments.  Wet Republic is open Thurs-Mon, ladies free and guys $30 on the guestlist.

Eclipse & Daylight in Mandalay Bay

Eclipse and Daylight are the same pool, Eclipse is a night swim party on Wednesday nights and Daylight is a day time pool party open Friday-Sunday.  This venue has a big stage similar to an EDC  stage and a large bar directly on the other side of the pool.  The guestlist gets ladies in free and reduced admission for guys.



OK, TIME TO BE BRUTALLY HONEST... MY PERSONAL OPINION FROM EXPERIENCE:

XS- The best and biggest club in Vegas, located in the best hotel in Vegas.  The dancefloor is big enough to actually dance and the place is beautiful.  It gets CROWDED though, and unless I have had some drinks I get irritated navigating to the inside bathroom.  But, there is a bathroom outside by the cabanas which is convenient when they open up the whole outside area.

Surrender- The outside area around the pool is beautiful and the cabanas are my favorite out of any club/pool party.  BUT the dancefloor is too small and the vibe for dancing around the pool is not energetic enough.  There are places to sit without having a table though, which is convenient.

Tryst- Tryst is one of the quickest entry clubs in Vegas for people on the guestlist.  It is beautiful, BUT it can be hard to navigate from one point to another.  The crowd at Tryst is very diverse... Tryst is probably one of the best clubs for bachelorette parties because the tables usually sell out to guys who are willing to give free drinks!

Tao- Not a fan of the restaurant, the only part I like about Tao is that there are a few different places to wander around to.  But this place gets too crowded and drinks get spilled and for some reason people love to spit gum on the ground here!  I do not like to try to navigate through this crowd at all, but there are some areas behind tables that girls can dance on which can be fun.  Tao will book special guests to get a massive crowd, and the guest never performs and it is rare that people actually get a look at them.  Once thing that is great about Tao is the ladies only guestlist line, it goes quick and there is an open bar!

1OAK- This place has a decent flow for easy navigation to the bathroom, and they will book performers who may sing up to three songs max but I still do not love 1OAK.  The promoters tell girls they get an open bar, which is actually just drink tickets for sky vodka drinks that one must add an email address to obtain.  There just isn't anything extraordinary about this place that makes it stand out.

The Bank- The Bank is decorated nicely, nice flow around the dancefloor/table area-that is if you can even consider this little space a dance floor! The table bussers are very rude and will push you out of the way because they are trying to run everywhere.  The area in front of the bars gets too crowded and very irritating to try to walk through.  The music is good though, if you like hip hop!

Palms- My least favorite club in Palms is Ghostbar.  I was excited to see the "glass floor", what a disappointment! Its dirty plexiglass that looks down to a parkinglot.  The view is nice, but the club itself is more like a lounge with a couple tables to reserve, a tiny area to dance in front of the DJ and the vibe is stuck up.  Rain is my second least favorite club in Palms.  It is big enough to dance on the dancefloor, but the tables are upstairs like a stadium too far away from everything.  I do enjoy the pyrotechnics above the dancefloor though!  I enjoyed Moon when it was open.  Every time I had been there the music was good, nice flow and easy navigation around the dancefloor and cool view.  

Chateau- The dancefloor at Chateau is too small, but the free candy on Tuesdays is good!  I like that the beer gardens are open during the day for drinks and food, but overall I do not prefer to come to Chateau.  I like Chateau for the fact that it is easy to get a group of girls a free table on the weekends, and the table areas are roomy.

Marquee- Marquee has potential for my positive review, but unfortunately it gets too crowded, dancefloor is always too packed to dance, and it is filled with people who will spill their drinks on you or spill your own drink for you.  The stairs that they make people walk up most of the time are hideous and by the time you get up to the club you are exhausted!  I do enjoy the stage/DJ booth though.  I like to send groups here on fridays to get it over with, since it's a newer club the hype is that it's the best- only a great time if you spend a fortune on bottle service.

Hakkassan-

The venue is nice and spacious, but there is not a place to stand and dance or anything (other than the dancefloor which is small and crowded), unless you get table service.  The door guys don't allow re entry, but if you are really nice and persistent they will let you back in!  There are too many stairs also.  The only thing I really like about this club are the walls and light show.  

Light-

Light is a good club for a full night of hardcore raging, it's darker throughout the place with a huge wall of lights.  I probably won't go here if I plan to call an early night and do not want to hate myself in the morning! I like that it seems more underground than the other clubs in Vegas.

Eclipse/Daylight

This pool party is small.  It lacks sufficient shade during the day (Daylight), it is better at night (Eclipse).  I do not prefer this venue because it is small and all the way at Mandalay- a long walk from any other hotel.

  2. I applied to be a promoter for XS/Tryst from a friend who referred me to the promotions manager. I am typically a quiet person and I keep to myself so the manager really didn't think I would work out but he gave me a chance, the first week I worked I hit my quota 4 out of 5 days which was better than half the team!
