Club is Racist- Do not ever go here. Trust me.
DO NOT GO TO THIS CLUB IF YOU ARE BLACK!!!
They are extremely racist. I stayed at the Bellagio for my 30th birthday, and called the front desk to rsvp to party at The Bank Nightclub which is located in the hotel. When we got in front of the club, it was mass confusion with no organization. We kept asking if there was a line for the guest list and we were told to stand in the crowd located right in front of the club. It was me, my sister, her boyfriend and my boyfriend. We stood there for about 30 minutes and my sister's boyfriend asks the bouncer if we are on the guest list. He then pretends to scroll down the clipboard in his hands and lies and tells us we are not on the list! He then starts handpicking white girls and white guys into the club and overlooked all of the black people and hispanic people!! WTF!!!
I did not read his name tag, but I can describe what he looks like so you can avoid him at all costs. He was a white male, about 5'9, slim build, short blond curly hair. He should stand out because most of the bouncers in the club have dark colored hair.
To make a long story short, we finally got in with the help of a black man who was doing table service, and he got us in. He admitted to the club being racist towards black people and invites us to sit at his table. We refused but thanked him graciously.
The club is not as cool as they are trying to perpetuate. The DJ sucked, and the drinks are weak. I didn't mind the $15 charge on drinks b/c I'm from NY and I am used to those prices.
I'm just disgusted and appalled that I was treated this way. I do not recommend anyone to go to this club. White or Black. UGH
