XS

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.

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.

I must say XS is pretty outta control. Definitely keeps its hosts busy really friggin busy. Just keep the comunication link between ur host and agree to a CC auth to ensure a table.

Uejjap- "Hard to read" is a good way to put it. Maybe I need to start a thread about how to attract Asian girls visiting Vegas! I mean, if they grew up in the US, I have no problems. But for the ones that are visiting from overseas, I am apparently clueless.

From what I am hearing, I may have hit XS on a sort of off night for me, so I shouldn't rule it out totally. (Next time, I can just see myself trying to politely find out from a Wynn concierge if the hotel is Asian that night...Lol! ) Although someone did tell me that Wynn and Encore are especially popular in general with the East Asian community.

SoCal- I am so bummed I didn't go to Tryst and I'm sorry we didn't get to say hi to you and your crew! My friend raves about Tryst but I let our VIP host talk me out of it at the last minute. I had a table at Tryst lined up that night and everything. But hey, it's something to look forward to for next time!

I haven't posted since my trip (july 23-26), and I hate to start on a negative note, but let me tell you about my experience at XS. It was my first time to XS and I was with 6 guys for a bachelor party. We had a VIP host named Big Mark get us in past all lines and we had a table outside near the dance floor...cost $500. I thought the location was good and the club is beautiful. So everything starts off on a good note.

The place is huge, maybe even too huge. There are so many factors at play, but let me say that I had a much easier time meeting women with a table on Thursday at Tao. More specifically, at XS I am with a group of relatively attractive white guys in our early-mid thirties. We are polite guys and we like people of all colors/backgrounds. We found that XS was teaming with cute young East Asian girls. I would say that half the club was East Asian, which is much more Asian than I have ever seen at a club in Vegas. OK, fine I thought. Asian it is! So, I approach a selection of the girls at XS, as usual based on who looks good, fun, and available. My experience was, for whatever reason, the Asian girls were not nearly as interested in talking to me (and getting drunk on my bottles) as were the non-Asian attendees. In some cases there was a language barrier, in other cases who knows. This would not normally be a problem but when it seems to rule out almost half the people in the club, one can become a bit depressed about spending a few thousand bucks for table service. I give XS a thumbs down.

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 get the feeling you wouldn't go back to xs then ?
i barely saw any east asian people at xs to tell you the truth i didn't see a lot in vegas in general to be honest, but i didn't have my 'ethnic radar' on either. HA.

Sounds like you haven't been to Tao/XS/Tryst often. Theres plenty every time I go. Just don't out dance the ladies, from I heard they go into the bathrooms and try to pick fights.

Extra,
Bummer, I went to Tryst that same night and the crowd was very mixed. My friend and I had a great time and danced with all kinds of people. Sorry we missed ya.

Thanks for the response bro. Doubt our girls would go in with someone else but I see your point-of-view. I'll just keep in touch with P.Frank and go from there ... hopefully the bottle minimum is not outrageous.

This is one of those weekends where not only bottle minimums go up, but bottle prices also go up. Expect to pay a bunch and bring a camera for some great pictures.

Thanks for sending me a private message, it popped right up on my BlackBerry. If you have contacted Patrick already, then you have done the correct thing. He will tell you how many bottles are required to get a table. The name of the game on a holiday weekend is money talks. I would not suggest sending the girls by themselves, because they may not get in, or could get scooped up by another table customer.

Good tip Darryll. We plan on hittin' up XS on Saturday (Labor Day Weekend), any other club according to the girls in our group is an epic FAIL.

Do you think I should let the girls go in by themselves (5 girls) and the 7 guys in our group ask for bottle service? That way if the table minimum will be 2 for us and since it is Labor Day Weekend, adding another 2 is something we expected (total of 4-5 bottles).

Any suggestions on this? I was just going to use Patrick Frank from JC's website as I have already contacted him.

Thanks!

I would give him between 150-200 plus 50-100 for the host who walks you in. 9 guys getting sat for 3 bottles on a Saturday is a great deal at XS
