Instead of waiting in line for three hours wondering, “Why did I come to Vegas?” get treated like a VIP by using bottle service. Yes, it can sometimes get a little pricey depending on how many are in your party or how overbook the club’s tables are, but it definitely has its perks. Usually it takes care of cover fees, the table, drinks and mixers, and attentive service. But most importantly, there’s nothing compared to feeling of walking past everyone in line as they enviously stare at you.
Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel
4455 Paradise Rd.
If an exclusive VIP vibe is what you’re looking for, the upscale Body English has got you covered. On the left side of the club, there’s an area reminiscent of an interrogation room where you can’t see in but they can see out. No worries if you couldn’t score a table behind the secret, one-way mirror. There are plenty of tables and rooms scattered throughout the hip, young crowd. Appropriately located inside the Hard Rock, this club is where true high-rolling rockers party under color-changing chandeliers or sitting on extravagant leather furniture.
XS at Encore
3131 S. Las Vegas Blvd
As Las Vegas’ newest club on the strip, XS has caught up fast to the competition. Taking the concept of swank to a whole new level, XS features a breathtaking staircase and a chandelier directly over the dance floor. Surround by 26 lush cabanas for voyeuristic outdoor seating, their stunning European pool glows after dark. The club’s signature cocktail, the Ono, is a $10, 000 mixture between Dom Perignon Enotheque and Louis XIII de Remy Martin Black Pearl cognac. And get this, it comes with sterling silver cufflinks or an 18-karat white gold chain with a black pearl pendant. Can we say, swanky!
Moon/Playboy Club at the Palms
4321 W. Flamingo Rd
Besides offering amazing views of the Las Vegas Strip, this sultry penthouse club combo is literally out of this world. Reach for the stars because Moon’s futuristic theme comes complete with a retractable roof over that dance floor that dramatically opens sometime during the night. The VIP areas and tables weren’t left behind. They feature their own private patios or lit-up dance floors. If your fantasy isn’t very futuristic, go downstairs and catch some scantily clad bunnies. The essence of the magazine comes with a VIP area including a cozy, private fireplace, its own bar, and retro Playboy brand pinball machines. And yes, the Playboy logo is everywhere.
The Bank at the Bellagio
3600 S. Las Vegas Blvd
Penny Pinchers beware! This might not be the club for you. Oozing elegance and class, the dark décor with gold accents will memorize you from the second you walk past all the Cristal in the private booths near the entrance and walk into their main room. The Bank offers a plethora of options when it comes to private table seating. This dress-to-impress venue has had celebrity DJs, such as Samantha Ronson, grace them with their presence. The VIP areas flanking the DJ are ideal for those that want to be right in the center of the action, but still away from the general population.
Rain at the Palms
4321 W. Flamingo Rd
After its MTV “Real World” cameo, Rain experienced a hurricane-size wave of attention, hype, and pure debauchery. The club opened its doors in 2001 and surprised everyone with its gladiator-arena-style club arranged in tiers for a sense of community with VIP areas in between. For the VIPs, there’s a choice of skyboxes, water booths, private cabanas, or traditional tables. The most impressive trick Rain has up its sleeve is the center rig that shoots out fire over the crowd. Really, it’s a must see, but don’t get too close to the middle if you like rocking a lot of hairspray.
