XS

[ashroid]

One thing you need to remember is, the demographic inside is a club is always based on who is staying in the casinos nearby. If there was a largely asian convention at the Wynn/Encore or Venetian/Palazzo, then that would explain why there was a largely asian crowd. Also, was it a night that Tao was closed, Tao usually attracts more of an asian crowd.

I have been to XS almost every weekend since April and must say they crowd varies every night, but is always a rockin party.

I have to agree with this that I've never really seen a predominantly Asian crowd at XS.

I don't know about Tao because I've only been to the nightclub once and would never go back, but with a name like Tao, I think it would likely attract more Asians (think of those that live in Richmond, I was told by a Taiwanese that many Taiwanese/Chinese move to Richmond because it has the word "Rich..." in it?!?!?!

I have been to XS a few times now and I agree with Golden, the crowd has been primarily Asian & South East Asian, a demographic quite similar to many of the clubs in Vancouver. It's still a great place to party but I do find Asian girls very hard to read (or perhaps they're completely disinterested..... but I refuse to believe such things!!)

My experiences with Tryst have been quite similar as well.

uejjap - I grew up in the lower mainland, am ethnically Asian and I wholeheartedly agree. Anyone that has ever been to Vancouver will comment on how many Asians are in Vancouver.
I think there are two big reasons Asians like Las Vegas:

- Asians generally like to gamble (go to any casino in the greater Vancouver area, there's many Asians in the casinos)

- many Asians I know (I'm Asian and grew up in the lower mainland) like to congregate in areas where there are many other Asians. I've travelled quite a bit in the past few years and aside from Asia and America, I rarely see any Asians travel to Europe (I went through Germany, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary and I never met any other Asian person - that's four countries!) You go to NYC, California, Vancouver, Las Vegas, big cities, etc, you'll see a large contingent of Asians.

About clubs in Vancouver uejjap, go to Boss, Tunnel, Century House and yeah, you'll see tons of Asians. Go to any of the clubs on Granville or other ones downtown and you'll see a much more diverse mix.

Back to Las Vegas - I don't go searching for Asian girls. I search for fun and just plain and simply "girls".

The GF had a bit of a run in with a group of asian girls wearing capris at XS. I guess one of them was like so "Where did you learn how to dance like a hoe.. " and I guess she shoved one of them and they fell down and ran away. I missed all this since it was in the ladies bathroom, but it would've been funny to see.

F*cking awesome. This sounds bad, but I would have loved to have seen that and frankly would have laughed "at" the girl!

[ashroid]

haha thats a sweet come back!

Well it all started because a group of those asian girls were up there dancing and the area around one of the poles was completely dead. I challenged the gf on a dare to go up there, and shes was no probs. She was up there and did her go go dance thing, and couple of dudes came by and made it rain on her. A couple of those asian girls were trying to pick up the dollar bills and the dudes were like hell no, its for her only.

LOL I was like sweet, you just earned yourself some free drinks babe.

PS. She was wearing a short backless dress and those other chicks were wearing capris lol

Again, f*cking awesome. I saw something like that at Tryst. I think the girl was local and she was doing some crazy sh*t on the pole. She was definitely working it like a pro and a few of the girls tried to swipe the "rain". That girl took care of that real quick.

Extragolden --- Sorry you had a horrible experience with free-loading Asian girls that simply b/c they looked nice, took advantage of your table. I swear this is not a stereotype on Asian women however some will fit that bill. You have to remember though, some individuals (every race) will always stick to their own race. Consequently, this is probably what you ran into that night.

Royale --- NICE CALL by your gf! I gotta buy her a drank! I hate snobby women or cocky guys. Good comeback fo sho!!!

Ellejay --- Exactly! Haters run rampant and I'm sure in Vegas, people want to show off their money and the like, just let them and don't let them ruin your time.

I always run deep at the clubs but once I get into my drunken stupor in Vegas, I start boozing it up with every race as long as you are down with taking a shot, then you shall be my friend. It helps if you are a beautiful woman no doubt hahaha.

In my various experiences, I've had to learn to spot bottle whores, no matter what ethnic background they are. Once I sniff one out, I take care of it real quick. I figure it's my money and my friends' money as well. There's so many more great women and those bottle whores know what they're doing.

Regarding haters, I had a guy that's a friend of a friend of a friend try to act all "baller" by ordering two bottles after getting kicked out of Pure TWICE for inquiring to our porter about getting hooked up with a little "sniffy-sniffy". At first he refused to pay for the 2 bottles until my friend threatened to give him the beating of a lifetime.

Mr. Vegas, I'm just like you. I get WASTED every time I go to VEGAS. But, I'd rather hang out with a bunch of cool wang than a bunch of raging bitches anytime. (I even got two dancers bought for an hour at Rhino from this!)

i'm wondering what the crowd is like for xs on LDW. what do you guys think it will be? i like diverse crowds, but the last time i was there, it was so asian. my friend said that this past weekend it was the same. no disrespect to asian people, but i like a good mix of people. i have the most fun when the crowd is diverse. thanks.

XS is gonna be ridiculous. Sorry, I mean RIDONKCULOUS. That's what the crowd is gonna be like. You're gonna be RAM JAMMED in there.

[ashroid]

Hate to break it to you.. 80% of the people there are usually from Socal. So if 50% of the people from Socal going there are asian, you can do the math. I <3 partying w/ Asians..

I was told this by several people that on any given Saturday, a large percentage of the club goers in Las VEGAS are from California. I met several people from California that pretty much confirmed it.

I met one VEGAS local who had a Rxhab season pass and told me that he got it because he split it with friends who live in...guess where? California.

F*ck, if I lived in California, I'd probably do the same thing.

Damn ashroid, you going for the most posts in a row?!?

[ashroid]

It's not about being hostile but honestly bro, the way you wrote the original post was questionable such as "so Asian." Diversity is a good thing and it makes the night life more unique with all types of ethnicities in the mix ... but it was your choice of words I believe that made her respond to your original post. Similarly, if you put "so Black" ... "so White" ... people could find offense to it and wonder why that was even an issue. I'm sure most of could see where you are coming from but it was the choice of words that you used.

No harm done here bro so don't even sweat it but I just wanted to give you my 2 cents.

Mr.Vegas...I'm pretty sure I commented on your comment earlier, but if you're from the west coast of Canada, there really are places that are "so Asian" and generally speaking, Asians tend to travel in packs because, frankly speaking, it's something most Asian kids were brought up with by their parents - to hang out with "their own kind". Sad, but true. So when you're in VEGAS and see a bunch of Asian kids in a table...that's why.

If you see me in Vegas, I'll be the Asian kid with the U.N. crowd.

Damn ashroid, you going for the most posts in a row?!?

Sorry Cisco419, (shit, that's the Asian in me, apologizing all the time ).

I get really passionate about stuff like this as though I'm Asian, I've been mistaken for Mexican, Japanese, and more. The only thing is most of the time people are wrong...I'm Filipino! (both parents are too!).

I've had a lot of experiences being in places where I'm the minority and have no worries about it.

But, growing up in a city with a fairly dominant Asian population (from Indonesia to India and in between), I understand some of the sentiment of some of the writers here. Personally, I don't hang out with a majority of Asian friends (more like 45% are Asian). I can speak my parents' language and have an appreciation for my heritage, but I am definitely not down going to a place that is mostly "insert ethnicity here". I didn't, don't and won't go to VEGAS for that.

If that were the case, I'd go to Vancouver and choose a club that fits that bill.

That's why I call VEGAS my second home.

Yea! I heard asian girls get a lot of flak from their peers if they get caught hanging out with men of other ethnicities.. especially if they are all over them or dating them.

[Mr.Vegas]

I mean this in the nicest way possible, but I think it's unfortunate that the girls in your group will think it's a big failure if you go anywhere but XS. I think there are clubs out there that are just as good and treat their customers better.

I think there is so much hype about XS because it's the newest club on the block and it's the biggest one.

Personally I think it's the customer service that should be key above ambience, "it" factor, etc.

I think it's because we plan this all year long as the trip where everyone gets together and has fun. You do make great points that there are other majors where the company that you are with makes the "fun" factor increase as well. I think it's just a matter of hyping up XS to the point where we all wanna hit that club up and make the best of the night. The entire trip out to Vegas is always something we all look forward to and the idea of scarcity or in this case, long lines, makes the demand for this club in our group only increase.

Completely understand your point of view but honestly, there is an itch in me that wants to see the new club of Vegas!

[Mr.Vegas]

There's so many more great women and those bottle whores know what they're doing.

Mr. Vegas, I'm just like you. I get WASTED every time I go to VEGAS. But, I'd rather hang out with a bunch of cool wang than a bunch of raging bitches anytime. (I even got two dancers bought for an hour at Rhino from this!)

My sentiments exactly!!!!

[Mr.Vegas]

Asians tend to travel in packs because, frankly speaking, it's something most Asian kids were brought up with by their parents - to hang out with "their own kind". Sad, but true. So when you're in VEGAS and see a bunch of Asian kids in a table...that's why.

Personally, I have a diverse group of friends but I think it's a travesty if others view who you hang out with, such as a group of Asians and state that it's typical. I do not see boundaries with friends but I do understand the point-of-view you are coming from ashroid. However, this could be stated about every race you know? That majority of them will always "stick together" however, I feel that it just comes from being friends and not based on race.

In terms of parental guidance, the world continues to change and our generation is incorporating diversity slowly, but surely. It is true that Asian parents are overly protective and very proud of their heritage as they should, but not to promote racial diversity is an issue that should be targeted to certain families and not the overall race. My father is as traditional as it gets but when we growing up our neighbor and best friends were black. Based on the overall stereotype, I agree with what you are saying. BUT, things are changing and hopefully we can lead the way.

Sorry I wrote a really detailed paper and racial diversity when I undertook my first grad. degree so this issue is close to heart.
