If you love house music, this is THE place to be on a Saturday

I wasn't too sure what PERFECTO meant, but apparently they do take house music to another level. This particular Saturday was a 4th of July, so everywhere was going to be packed. Gf and I thought it would be logical that we try a place where we are already on the guestlist. XS's guestlist was completely shutdown for the weekend. We had to check in at the tanning salon which was a 15 minute wait, then we had to wait another 2 full hours in line before we got through.

First thing I checked when I walked through and got stamped was if there was reentry. I wasn't going to pay the discounted cover of $20 if I wasn't allowed back in. Regular price would be $50 off the guestlist, and probably a $30/ head bribe to the bouncer which a lot of people were doing. Either ways I saw this worthwhile since a Kaskade concert would've cost probably 4x as much.

I went in and I noticed that the place was incredibly LOUD. The place is shaped like madmax's thunderdome and it manages to keep all the bass in. I love the way it is designed for house music with all the light shows and screens. I also saw several performers in the sky tight roping across when the music was blasting. I m sure they have ear plugs up there. Most importantly, the music was off the hook. Kaskade almost blew the roof off the place. If you guys don't know who Kaskade is, go on Youtube and look up his stuff. He is incredible.

The only reason why I can't give this place a 5 star is because its located at the Palms hotel. Its bit aways from the strip, and parking a mess is there. I highly suggest parking across the street. Second of all, the crowd control by the bouncers is terrible. I am almost certain that they are looking to tick people off and force them to bribe to get in. Lastly, the smoking hot factor was not there. Sure the babes go go dancing had it all together, but they don't count for the female ratio. The ones on the dance floor were a little bit weird looking, could be because they were rave junkies instead of your regular everyday clubbies. I am sure the lack of VIP tables in the club had something to do with it. Less tables, means less bottle [--], thus less hot looking women. It all makes sense.

Despite these small mishaps, I would come back for another Perfecto with Oakenfold. If you love house music, this is THE place to be on a Saturday. Go there for the music, not the women.

Here was my clip from inside Rain:

I had a great time at this club. I went with my girl friends so we got in pretty easy. The music was good, except they never played a song all the way through. They had a cool fire and rain effect on the dance floor.

The music was the same all night, very little variety, so it got boring. The visuals were spectacular but the dance floor itself is small and surrounded by private booths. Its a very separatist place where you must pay top price to get a place to sit. Everyhing was private and everything was WAY overpriced and with only one dance floor and one DJ, its not worth it.

Very cool club. We were with a friend that had a table so we didn't have to wait in line. It gets kind of crazy outside of the club because they have entrance to Ghostbar there also. Paul Oakenfold has some kind of contract, so he's there every other Sat. or so until January. And the weekend we went Samantha Ronson opened for him. She's pretty good. The club has all these performers too. Dancers and fire and weird guys in full body leotard things. Fun times and they don't stop until morning.

I came here on March 17, 2007. The club is now only open on Friday and Saturday nights which means the place is packed and the line is crazy! If you wanna get in easily, stay at the hotel (they give out comp line passes) or get on the guestlist. Otherwise buy a bottle, they're around $325 for four people (which is pretty good for Las Vegas bottle pricing).

The night I went, the line was all the way around Blue Agave. I went to the Evanescence concert that night (if you go to a show, they give out comp passes there too) and got into the VIP line when they saw the pass. The club is awesome, the design is great, AND I got to meet and hang out with the band members who had wandered in around the same time as I did!

One of the best things about this club is that there are places for you to sit even if you didn't but a bottle. There are benches around the middle available, so if you get a space try to keep it cuz it will be gone if you get up! The bartenders are kinda jerky. If you're a girl, you'll get hit on by all sorts of characters, but that's part of the fun in Vegas! I'm definitely getting a booth here for my birthday.
