i have never noticed racism in vegas either...i agree w/ Dnix, they pick ppl out of the lines all the time, its all about attitude/personality.....
im from Pakistan and have gone to Vegas w/ a few of my Indian friends and thats never happened to any of us....i have come across racist door staff here in NYC and Miami but never in vegas...

+1 Yes this is a very important issue and such views could not only ruin the night but could also make you go blind!!

how are the indian chicks in Surrey like?

actually, we can even back up a little from there.... and ask how everyone feels about entering a club that is predominently one race?

i think i read somewhere on here, where an asian poster did not have fun in a club, because the clients were pre-dominently asian.

Interesting question. The thing is, race is both a social and a cultural construct. You can choose which cultural tradition you choose to identify with, but you can't actually pass for another race. Like, you can be white and choose to identify with hip-hop culture. Or you can be an oreo or a twinkie (for lack of a better term). But at the end of the day, you're still white or black or Asian. We've made a lot of progress toward a more color-blind society, but race does have a non-trivial effect on how you're treated and how you perceive things. In fact, a lot of the time, trying to assimilate culturally can enhance one's sense of otherness and alienation.

Vegas nightlife caters mainly toward white culture, so it makes sense that most of the people here are attuned to that wavelength. I'm white as can be, so I definitely feel more comfortable in a white cultural environment. My personal preference is to have a nice mix of races. But at the same time, if I went to a place that was predominantly or even exclusively white, I probably wouldn't bat an eye. For the minorities on this site, I suspect it'd be different. They may not have a problem with being around mostly white people, but at the same time, they'd probably prefer to not be the only non-white person at the club.

what if you were really the only guy in the whole club

Trust me it wouldn't be that bad being the only guy it's just like a gurantee that your gonna have a good night.... I think finally girls would start buying that guy drinks

As much as I hate to say it, this wouldn't surprise me when it comes to the larger groups like that. Racism, to some degree, plays just as big a part in Vegas nightlife as it does in everyday life.

No doorman is going to ever say "Hmmm, I'm not going to let black people in tonight," but I've definitely seen groups have to wait longer...and even had doormen be dicks to black people in my group by being harder on their dresscode or claiming that they had fake IDs. Which was definitely sucky on their part.

Discrimination is more blatant though. How long do you think a group of older, or overweight people would have to wait in line? And on that note, just to play devil's advocate to the conversation, how likely would you be to go back to a club if it were a little too heavy on the heavies? And, if less likely, does that make you as bad as the doormen?
