Las Vegas Nightclubs:Blush, The Biggest Little Club In Vegas
Blushing doesn’t always mean you’re embarrassed, at Blush in Las Vegas it means you’re at one of the city’s best night clubs. This club’s occupancy tops out at 400, small compared to the popular “Ultra-Clubs” that are more typical in Las Vegas. Don’t let that fool you though, the smaller crowd may seem more intimate, but the energy levels remain extra high. When it opened in August, 2007, Blush was unique to Vegas, and it is, in fact, still. It is more commonly referred to as a “boutique nightclub,” which means capacity tops out at just over a few hundred people. ”We’re not trying to hold the status and volume that the mega clubs do,” said Trina Santiago, the club’s marketing coordinator. “But we create the same kind of atmosphere, with the same kind of music, people and events, in an intimate, high-end setting.”
Blush is a very service-oriented club, possibly because the crowd isn’t as large as other spots. Blush Tuesdays is Industry Night and has quickly become a favorite for locals and visitors alike. Lighting up the club are 300 individual color-changing lanterns hanging from the ceiling, and the dance floor is made of lit onyx. Art hangs on the walls and the crystal tables dance with light. Resident [DJ] Mighty Mi supplies a rhythmic flow of dance, hip-hop and house to the patrons. If you need some fresh air head out to Blush’s patio, where more tables and a bar make the air seem cooler. A couple of televisions sit above the bar and there are purse lockers in the VIP section and there’s a whole separate area in the women’s restroom dedicated to giving ladies the space they need to freshen up. Blush is located at the Wynn Casino and is open daily from 9 p.m. - 4 a.m. General admission is $30 and Front of the line pass are $50 but you must arrive before midnight. Blush also offers VIP packages and accepts cash and all major credit cards. Blush’s intimate setting makes this high energy club one the best night club experiences in Las Vegas. Darren Monie

Want to party like the star? Go down to Planet Hollywood’s Privé Nightclub. Owned by the Opium Group, which operates four popular night clubs in Miami , Prive isn’t your typical Las Vegas club. Dress Code is individual, Mohawks and Tattoos get more attention here. Located above the casino floor, Privé’s entrance is actually right on the floor, with an escalator leading up into the club. A round leather couch sits at the entrance surrounded by televisions playing clips from old Godzilla movies spliced together with a few more risqué films. Beautiful bar-tenders and waitresses work the uninhibited crowd. The best part is there are no ropes, no VIP areas and the club patrons are encouraged to get up on the furniture, the speakers, the tables, any where is a potential dance floor. For the prodigious drinker, there a few ways to go. Fully stocked bars are placed around the club in the most convenient of places; near the bathroom, near the entrance, off to the side, everywhere. Privé brings along with it The Living Room, another Miami-transplanted concept. With 16 seating areas, complete with bottle service, The Living Room is easily the most intimate space in the venue. Stone said the idea is a modern twist on the cozy cigar lounges of the 1940s, complete with cushy leather sofas, Persian rugs, opulent drapery and amazing granite bar.
The Prive’s hours of operation are Monday through Friday, 10p.m. to 4a.m. General admission for women (Monday, Friday and Saturday) is $20 per person. General admission for men (Monday, Friday and Saturday) is $30 per person. Front-of-Line for women (Monday, Friday and Saturday) is $40 per person but must arrive before 11 p.m. Front-of-Line for men (Monday, Friday and Saturday) is $60 per person and again you need to get there before 11 p.m. Couples (Monday, Friday and Saturday) front of the line admission is $90 per couple and that’s good for one man and one woman or two women and once again you must arrive before 11 p.m. Prive also offers VIP packages on Monday, Friday and Saturday. The Prive accepts cash and major credit cards. The music is a mixture of hip-hop, Top 40, rock and mash-ups spun by resident DJ Lil Jon. The club holds up to 1,000 people and ATMs are located inside Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino.
The Prive treats everyone like a VIP and the energy is solid. The club’s clientele is a little more fad than fashion but that works well with the atmosphere. It is located at 3667 S.

Sphere: Related ContentNo Bungle In This Rumjungle
The Rumjungle is located inside Mandalay Bay, 3950 Las Vegas Blvd South, Las Vegas, NV and was designed by renowned designer Jeffrey Beers. This 20,000 square-foot club is a living indoor jungle. Guests pass through a 22-foot wall of fire and are met with the cool rush of a waterfall. Inside is an epic restaurant and nightclub accented by an indoor tropical island. The immense three-tiered space features a 144 foot long, 19 foot high world’s largest rum. What’s the use having the largest rum bar without having the world’s largest rum menu and it does. The menu features over 220 different varieties of rum. Delicious cuisine is cooked over open fire pits, accentuated by the world’s two largest conga drums. This Vegas hotspot caters to a more mature audience, so the club goer can have fun in a comfortable environment. A strict dress code is enforced and yes, you must pass the velvet rope. DJ Toast, DJ Creativity, DJ Homicide and DJ Randy lend a dance/ hip-hop back beat that keeps this club bumpin. Ladies, don’t miss this club on Monday’s Ladies appreciation night.
Admittedly, I steer clear of over the top clubs because most feel like they are trying too hard. Rumjungle delivers the great fun it promises. Each bottle is illuminated with a laser beam of light while go-go girls dance between bottles of wine to dueling congas. The food all comes skewered on swords. A great deal of thought went into the various clever designs and schemes and almost instantly, rumjungle became one of the hottest clubs in Vegas, with lines of partiers out the door every night, ready to dance to live world-beat music. Get there before 10pm to avoid lines and consider having dinner before 11pm, when the kitchen closes. Dinner is costly, but it’s a multicourse, all-you-can-eat feast of flame pit-cooked Brazilian food. For the amount of food and the waiving of the cover charge, dinner is a good deal. After 11p.m. there is a cover charge ($20 to $25). The club is open ’til 2a.m. on weeknights, 4a.m. Thursday through Saturday nights and is closed Tuesday and Wednesday.This fun place has won the Critic’s Award for Best Place to Dance and Best New Hotel Restaurant given by the Las Vegas Review-Journal. The Mandalay Bay Resort houses a refreshing two-story jungle complete with waterfalls and the world’s largest rum bar. The Lava Flow is a flaming volcano-bowl filled with dark rum, crushed pineapple, mango, brandy and orange juice. Try the Fire Pit, an eight-course meal including skewered kebabs of meat. This club makes everyone feel like a VIP and even offers party packages for bachelor, bachlorette and birthday parties, this is one rain forest that remains safe from destruction. Darren Monie

Body English at the Hard Rock Hotel has become one of my absolute favorite Las Vegas Nightclubs. Once you step through the velvet rope, check out the decadent hallways, and take the elevator down to the main room. The doormen are accepting of fashion and only the sexiest people are allowed in. The music offers something for everyone, and features DJs Melo, ScottyRay, Jack LaFleur, DJ5, Clinton Sparks and Presto One. Club music is a variety and smooth blend of Hip-Hop, Rock, Mashup and House, and the decor of the club keeps on track with the rockstar feel. When you arrive at the outer doors of Body English it will seem pretty chaotic as there aren’t any ropes or lines for general admission customers to get into. Get ready to fight your way towards the front, this is much easier if you are accompanied by women and are dressed fashionably. Body English can be a little crowded at times so just plan on letting loose and enjoying the moment. The earlier you get to Body English the better, make your way to the doorman and get the girls in your party up front, and try and make eye contact with the lead doorman as he passes by. Be patient and friendly. Once inside, you will walk into a choice of 2 lines, one for paying customers, one is the comp line. Then there is the VIP entrance and isn’t really a line at all. As you pass through the cashier and ID doorman, you can choose the stairs or the elevator. Tim, the midget elevator operator, will ask you how far down you want to go. Once the elevator door opens you are faced with a sexy crowd an energetic atmosphere, and the waitresses are beautiful, you are now actually in the “upstairs” portion of the club. The bar is immediately to your left, and there is another one downstairs in front of you. The first bar is much less crowded so get your drinks here. Most of the “upstairs” of the club is VIP for booths, so unless you have a table or know someone on the inside, don’t bother with it. Just head down the stairs and get the night started. There is a hidden VIP room down the stairs to your left. After you are done partying go upstairs into the Casino and have breakfast at Lucky’s Café (ask for the $8 steak and shrimp special) or walk across the street and continue the party at Rainbow Bar and Grill. Quickly becoming the spot for the young adult crowd, this club spikes the meter for the best party mix of music. Great DJs with impressive resumes keep the vibe right for a great party.
