The all-black color(less) scheme has both positives and negatives. Yes, it's good to deemphasize the interior with black floors, ceiling, walls, and furnishings when you've got such amazing views from the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking The Strip, but even with those enormous windows it results in a distinctly cave-like feeling, enclosed and a bit claustrophobic (especially when you throw in dozens of people also dressed mostly in black). I found myself continually going to the outdoor balcony not only for the fresh air and dramatic vistas but just to feel a little less confined.

A steady stream of music comes from a live DJ - mostly hip-hop when I was there but they play all types of club-appropriate tunes I'm told. There is no formal dance floor but people are encouraged to shake their groove thing wherever there's room.

Drink prices are totally outrageous if you have any sense of perspective but not out of line with what you'll pay at most other clubs on and around The Strip. $7-10 for beer, $9 and up for well drinks, $13 and up for call. Oh, and don't order a bottle of water thinking you can get away cheap - it's going to run you $8. Yep - and $8 bottle of water. It comes in a pretty glass container though.

One cool touch - even the bathrooms take advantage of the unimpeded views by putting the urinals in the men's room and toilets in the ladies' facing giant windows. Just do me a favor and pay attention to what you're doing, especially if you're standing next to me.
