Oh, I went to the opening of Sunset Beach, the after-party for Tao Beach, which is on Sunday. The Beach at Tao is open daily, but there is an extra amount of time to party on Sunday evening.

It was fabulous: great food, drinks, view, the pools are lovely, the servers are dressed in cute bikinis with little red sarongs, the place is decorated with Tao's signature accents, the sound system is fabulous, there is a gentle breeze up on the roof of The Venetian.

I was there with some friends who I have been eager to introduce to one another and an old friend stopped by to surprise me.

I give Tao Beach the must attend/ see.

(way to go Chad Saunders!)

Dress Code, Cover Charge, Bottle Service, Pool Parties, info. Clubbing In Vegas

A friend of mine asked if I could help illustrate what the cover charge, dress code, bottle service, and pool parties information is in Las Vegas.

• Dress Code

  
  
  
  
  • No athletic gear
  
  
  • Men, please wear shirts with a collar and/ or buttons.
  
  
  • Most clubs won't allow hats to be worn in the club.
  
  
  • Women should be dressed up, but are usually allowed to wear jeans if they have a dressy top on.
  
  
  • Shoes should be worn at all times.
  
  
  • Men usually are not permitted to wear "Trainers" or "Tennis Shoes".
  
  
  • Women can get away with wearing flats or a wedge style of flip flop so long as
    they are dressy and not for the beach.
  
  
  
  



• Cover Charge

  
  
  
  
  • Local ladies often enjoy waived entrance fees to most clubs unless there is a very high profile artist/ dj performing.
  
  
  • Ladies who do not live in Las Vegas usually pay $10 to $20 for cover charge. Many times a club will have a 'ladies night' where all ladies are free. Sometimes clubs will give free entrance and free drinks to women who dress in theme for the night.
  
  
  • Men pay cover charge of $10 to $30. If people want to 'cut in line' they usually charge $150 and the men still must pay up to $30 cover charge after doing so.
  
  
  
  

• Bottle Service

  
  Bottle service in Las Vegas clubs starts at $150 and can go to $1000 per three or four people, men or women. Bottle service includes cover charge, a table, a bottle of alcohol and mixer ingredients, and seating for three to four people. This does not include the tip for the server. The bottle service is usually considered to last for one and a half hours.
  
  Making connections with a vip host in advance, calling the club of choice directly to make reservations, or emailing or texting club personnel is helpful in arranging a table or bottle service.




• Las Vegas Pool Parties

  
  Editor's note: The latest poolside trend for Las Vegas is 'European Style Sunbathing' which is a euphemism for 'topless' sunbathing. Don't know if it will catch on, but might be worth "watching" this trend.(Haha!) Also see the excellant 2007 Vegas Pool Guide article from Vegas Pop.
  
  
  
  • The pools are opening soon or have already opened in Las Vegas.
  
  
  • Tao poolside is a new venture for Tao and The Venetian Hotel. Food is catered from Wolfgang Puck, massage therapy is available, and bottle service is encouraged. Open daily.
  
  
  • 
    Rehab in the Hard Rock Hotel is a day long party on Sunday. This party is usually packed with patrons partying hard. There is a cover charge for everyone, local, ladies and gents. The dress code for many of the pool parties is swimwear attire, no shorts.
  
  
  • 
    Bare in the Mirage has been open unofficially for approximately one month. The official grand opening party was held last weekend. The cocktail servers are topless.
  
  
  • "Ditch Friday's" at the Palms is run by the n9ne management.
  
  
  • 
    The pool party at the Red Rock Hotel and Resort in Summerlin has the benefit of being adjacent to the club Cherry. DJ's perform and can be heard poolside. There is a bar and cocktail waitresses.

or pick up a copy of Las Vegas City Life, Las Vegas Weekly, Las Vegas Magazine, Club Planet magazine, or 944 magazine.

*Hotel guests can gain free entrance to many clubs with their room key for proof of patronage of the hotel. There is usually a time limit, such as "before midnight."

*High gaming, or "High Rollers" are often given free entrance and possibly other perks such as bottle service, but not guaranteed, in the nightclub of the hotel they are gaming in.

The Inside Scoop

Is Las Vegas a true 24-7 town?


Yes.


Is the clubbing scene 7 nights per week?


You bet!


Just do your homework, plan ahead, make connections, and have a back-up contingency plan.


There are many local venues which support 'Electronic/ House/ Techno/ live dj'ing.But to be 100% honest, it's the venues which play a variety of music, including top forty, hip hop, mash-ups, and a moderate amount of house that receive most of the attention in the media and garner most of the tourist traffic.


Web sites such as www.napkinnights.com and www.thecircuitlv.com can help give info. for guest list privileges and or coupons to get free entry into clubs.


If you find there is a particular club you are itchin' to get inside of, you can hang around the gaming tables, hotel lobby, or the entrance of the club itself during dinner / cocktail hour to see if perhaps a VIP Host is around giving out info./guest passes to the club that night.


You might want to network with the VIP hosts before your trip, via email,or texts to arrange to buy bottle service for you and your party to ensure entrance to the club you desire.


Las Vegas has grown from one after- hours club and three nightclubs to at least 30 clubs and three solid after-hours clubs.

International dj's - party through the week!

International dj's with recording contracts come through Las Vegas in a controlled manner:

• Sundays they can be heard at Revolution , The Beatles Lounge in the Mirage.


• 
  Monday evenings they spin at Godspeed, the party at The Foundation Room in Mandalay Bay.


• 
  Tuesday evenings they perform at Studio 54.


• Wednesday evenings MINISTRY OF SOUND presents international dj's at BODY ENGLISH


• Thursday nights international talent gets to take over the main room of JET in the Mirage.


• Friday evenings Reson8 party at the ICEHOUSE lounge in the downtown arts district of Las Vegas brings 4 to 10 dj's who are: local, regional, national, and/or sometimes international.


• Saturday for Late Night Empire, International talent takes the main room while local dj's and many times another up-and-coming touring dj accompanies the headliner either in the lounge room, the patio, or simply 'opens' for the headlining dj'.
  

Mingling With The Crowd

Nightclubs often will have celebrities celebrating their birthday at a club. People seem to enjoy attending a party knowing they're in the midst of a celeb.'tyin' one on' so to speak.


There are still some great 'entry-level' no-cover events with dj's getting down and dirty with the possibility of dj's who are visiting sin city in hopes of gigging here can hit the 'open decks'.


Put simply, the club scene in Las Vegas has grown so large that often the lounge bars in the main hallway adjacent to the gaming tables of many hotels has a dj in ADDITION to the mega-club to accommodate the patrons who are unable to gain entry to the main club of choice.

Frankie B Fashion Show Body English Las Vegas

Add to My Profile | More Videos

Last night I was hanging out at the Hard Rock Hotel in Vegas. I went over to say hello to my friend BUCKLEY, who is the dj at Simon on Fridays, Sundays and other dates as well. He mentioned they had the pre-Vegas Grand Prix party there at SIMON kitchen on Wednesday night with most of the Vegas Grand Prix drivers in attendance as well as many press personnel and executives from the race. While we were speaking, I couldn't help but notice that JON BON JOVI was dining at Simon. Kewl! BUCKLEY also mentioned that the HARD ROCK HOTEL is sponsoring a car for the VEGAS GRAND PRIX...and he said he thought it was PURPLE like many of their moving vehicles color and aesthetics. Fabulous! Now we can look for the Hard Rock Car on Sunday when they broadcast the 1st VEGAS GRAND PRIX (on NBC nationally 1PM -3 PM Pacific Daylight Savings Time ).

I moved on to BODY ENGLISH for their Friday night party called "INDULGE". I was so excited to have my friends from out of town with me, and one of my local best mates with me, to go into one of Vegas's 'hottest' clubs. I have to admit I usually stay away from Friday nights unless pressed, due to my erroneous thinking that it's "tourist" night or "amateur" night. Boy was I wrong! BODY ENGLISH rocked!

FRANKIE B clothing line had a fabulous fashion show in the main room. ( SEE VIDEO ABOVE ). Ladies not only got in for free, they drank free champagne all night long. How hard can that be? I was "INDULGING". It's the details that make Body English so highly sought after: real glass ashtrays and stemware, faucets in the bathrooms shaped like exotic birds? well they're these HUGE brass swans maybe... anyway they're cool as B**P, the textures for the seating is plush, the lighting system is great, the "free" champagne was not sour tasting, there are plenty of places to stand and dance as well as a plethora of VIP booths. We love electronic music so we networked our way into the side room, or the VIP area dubbed "The House ROOM". It's a tiny space but the sound from those heavy speakers freaking resonated right through all of us!

The dj fully kicked arse, as my friends from the UK were noting. We were dancing up a sweat. We ended our night eating food at Mr. Lucky's 24-7 eatery in the Hard Rock.

Not in seven years of living here in sin city have I spent the entire night, let alone the entire FRIDAY night in one hotel.

NOTE: Global Peace GrooVes podcast will soon feature DJ BUCKLEY's dj skills with a forty-minute set.

The Beatles Revolution Lounge in The Mirage -The Xtine Report -

The very latest post from the talented local personality Xtine from Global Peace GrooVes Christine - she is a very knowledgeable insider on the local Vegas club scene and nightlife.

The Beatles Revolution Lounge being open seven nights per week is helping to keep the image of Las Vegas as being the type of city that is really 24-7 and not just part of the slogan to help market sin city.

Ink, from Canada opened the club in late December 2006, just six months after the successful launch of The Beatles Cirque du Soleil LOVE.

The cd soundtrack for LOVE by The Beatles has been the number one selling cd in the world: fueled by rave reviews and sold out shows since April's opening of the show.

LOVE and Revolution have been integral parts of a multifaceted approach to recreating the image of The Mirage. Revolution Lounge has a different theme of music each night of the week to ensure that locals and tourists alike are assured of variety.

The Abbey Road bar is situated just outside of Revolution lounge to offer the passerby a quick alcoholic refreshment and a sneak peak of the action inside the club.

The word "REVOLUTION" with benches cleverly placed inside the letters offers patrons a place to sit or for the go go dancers to perch while shimmying to the music.

• Monday evenings the cast of Cirque du Soleil are in attendance at Revolution while LOVE is dark. DJ Sarah FAB plays music while Cirque performers strut and occasionally offer improvisational performances of their skills.



• Tuesdays at Revolution, called "FOREVER", offer lounge, electronica and downtempo sounds.



• Wednesday evenings are dubbed "Come Together" and are considered Industry or Local appreciation night, with offers of 2 for 1 bottle service and a Top 40 play list.



• Thursday evenings are called "THIS IS LONDON". DJ Mestizo Six9 plays the best of the British invasion music including Depeche Mode, The Cure, Blur and more.



• Fridays and Saturday evenings patrons can expect an eclectic mix of music all night long for their party "Let It Be."



• Sundays the party's name is "Hacienda" or "House". Resident host DJ Luca, aka Digital Boy (myspace.com/lucadigitalboy) begins the evenings with a variety of house and popular music with timely songs to help get the crowd ready for the international dj's who perform as headliners. Past headliners have been Tommy Lee of Rockstar Supernova for a dj set and recording artist, remixer , and music producer Kaskade. April 15th veteran dj and music producer Louie Vega will be the headlining dj.

For more info. about Revolution, please visit their interactive web site.

Xtine's Vegas Update - Criss Angel Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas Luxor

What's Happening Now!

The very latest post from the talented local personality Xtine from Global Peace GrooVes Christine - she is a very knowledgeable insider on the local Vegas club scene. and nightlife.

Video presentation:
Criss Angel Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas Luxor


Today I attended the press conference for Criss Angel and Cirque du Soleil @ the Luxor. The show will open in summer of 2008. Criss Angel is releasing his first book, "Criss Angel MINDFREAK: Secret Revelations" in April 2007 (Harper Collins).Criss Angel has been named Magician of The Year five years in a row. He's currently taping the 70th episode of his tv show Criss Angel MINDFREAK at the Luxor Hotel in Las Veags.

There are Cirque du Soleil productions in 130 cities word wide. There will be six Cirque du Soleil shows in MGM properties in Las Vegas when this show begins. Mystere is at T.I, O is in Bellagio, Zumanity is in New York, New York, KA is in the MGM Grand, The Beatles LOVE is in the MIRAGE.

I was invited by Jessica Berlin, Assistant PR manager of Cirque du Soleil Las Vegas.

Criss Angel's mother was in attendance as well as at least one of Criss' brothers.

This video contains 2 minutes of photographs in a slide show style presentation. There is a nine and one-half minute speech from Criss Angel with his description of his career's development leading to this 'pinnacle' of creating a show with Cirque du Soleil.

Daniel Lamarre, President and CEO of Cirque du Soleil, said:

"We are always looking for partners who are able to support crazy ideas and great new shows. MGM is that partner. We've been dreaming for many years to get involved with magic with our shows. We have been lucky to partner with the best for opportunities such as The Beatles LOVE. The Beatles LOVE Cirque du Soleil cd is currently the number one selling cd world-wide."

I was very pleased to run into my good friend Judy Thornburn,of Vegas Around The Clock and The Flick Chicks. "Vegas Around The Clock" receives over 17 million visits per month!

The Flick Chicks is a web site dedicated to film review from the females point of view.
