Privé and the Living Room

Description:

• For once, a user-friendly club that's hot but not intimidating. While as dazzling as any of the other high-end joints on the Strip, this one is surprisingly egalitarian. There is no dress code (though dress up anyway, because it's more fun), which means all manner of patrons are mingling together. And mingle they do; with the exception of one row of bottle tables, all seating and other areas of the club are open to all patrons -- no VIP ropes or other barriers, just move about the spacious, amphitheatre-inspired setup as you will. No matter where you stand, there is a good view. For that matter, if the spirit moves you, jump on the tables and couches and dance; they encourage that. Smashing visuals include a stage (they claim spontaneous performances bust out occasionally), two-story fireplace, projection screens showing Godzilla movies and the like, plus actual dance coordinators for the table-top-dancing waitresses. Because of the eclectic mix of clientele, the energy is great. Plus, one cover gets you two clubs: The Living Room is a much smaller space, evoking its name with a fireplace, leather couches, chandeliers, and a booming, deafening sound system. Open Monday, Friday, Saturday 10pm to 4am.
