How to find the mid-packed clubs on a Sun, Mon, Tues, & Wed in early May?

[jonathan]

There's nothing worse than a dead club or an over packed club with a huge line and no room to dance and run game.

Not doing bottle service because its just two folks who like to club hop, plus thats no much to drink for us 2.

What are good recommendations?

ROK, Studio 54, Drai's, LAX, Mix, Jet, Revolution Lounge, VooDoo Lounge, Carnival Court, Lavo, XS???????????

I'm not sure which one's are jumpin', and not

THANKS

My trip is in 7 days. April 4-10

I have plans to hit Ghostbar (maybe the entire Palms Kit - GB, Moon, Rain) and Voodoo Lounge
as my getting my dance on places with time outs for conversation and mingling/having a drink or two.

There's plenty of lounges (relax and people watch) that I have plans to go too.

In a previous post, what you were looking for seems very much in line with what I am seeking as well.

A good time, without pretentiousness, without high (unobtainable) expectations, a good mix of energized people, good drinks, good eye candy (people, ambiance, decor) and The Elusive and Endangered "Vibe".

I'd be happy to do a Trip Report when I get back so you have an up to date idea of what worked for me.

To give you an idea of who I am demographically.

34 yo Chubby Canadian. Dresses well, Full of energized confidence, in a extremely stable relationship (married) and travelling Solo as a part of my annual Self-Discovery Holiday. It's all about getting myself outside a potentially dangerous "comfort zone" (inactivity breeds apathy - counselor by trade).

So while on my adventure, I'm planning to blog it. To lead by example that you are only as limited as your attitude permits.

Blogging about the clubs I visit will be part of that experience.

Sorry for the monster ramble. Just thought it might be the kind of honesty you were looking for so that you can make your plans for your trip.

Lol, the ramble was nice (very helpful indeed)! I'm also considering Palms Access Pass, and VooDoo Lounge has an open bar pass posted on Vegasclubs.com for $75 on weekdays. That one sounds nice as well. But, I definitely hear ya on that ultimate combo for a club your talking about. Thanks for the awesome post! Very much appreciated!

Hey Jonathan, I'll also be there in early May (with my GF) and am similarly confilicted on which clubs to go to... Want to hit the "hot spots" (Marquee, XS, LAVO, etc.) but don't want to deal with huge crowds and no room to move. My gut tells me we'll have a better time at second-tier clubs and bars/lounges. I plan to hit up a few on your list (VooDoo, Mix, Carnaval) and maybe even Rockhouse just for the experience. Still, I'll probably hit up either XS or Marquee on Monday... just to say I was there.

Cool Beans! I think I'm considering: ROK Vegas, Mix, Drai's, Revoltuion Lounge, VooDoo Lounge, Lavo, Blush, Ghostbar & Moon pass, and my wild cards are Rockhouse & Carnaval Court. And I'm thinking maybe XS on monday as well. I've been there before, and it was awesome (so many hot chicks there).

On vegas.com the open bar pkg is only 60.00 at the Voodoo.

[readyforvegas]

Oops sorry just look it up. The price change to 75 bucks now.

I saw that too, that's a hellacious deal. I will definitely hit that up. I had a great at VooDoo last time I went. I also saw on there that Rio's CROWN nightclub has an openbar package for $60, but I'm not sure if that club is anygood.

I used the open bar at voodoo maybe 4 times now and it was alot of fun. Can't remember leaving most nights thought. With the open bar it makes getting ladies free drinks real cheap lol. Crown I heard is off the chain on saturdays.

A friend to Voodoo a few years ago with a group of guys I don't know well. My friend ended up in the bathroom for 3 hours and another guy ended up in the hospital. I wish I was there to see it.

How is Crown anyways. Can anyone else comment on that Rio club?

[readyforvegas]

Yeah I would like to know I thought about checking it out with the 60 buck open bar. I gotta have at least 1 cheap night with all my gambling and bottle service. Will be there may 14-17.

From what I've been reading online, Crown looks like one of the few places that would play strictly hip-hop/R&B/rap on the weekends and possibly some dancehall.

except tomorrow night Skrillex is there @ The Crown. He is pretty heavy creative dubstep.

[jonathan]

What kind of music does Crown play on Sunday. I'm not into gangster rap; I mean I was about 10 years ago
