As we all know, most clubs are only open during the weekends and select days of the week at Vegas. So on a stroll out Monday night, my friends and I were looking for a place to go clubbing. After visiting two other clubs (which were closed), we found ourselves at XS. I've heard of XS being one of the greatest clubs for the 21-ish crowd in Vegas, so I was going in with high expectations. But what did I get? Pure disappointment.\n\nLet's start with the ambience. Indeed, the inside of the club is amazing. The open-air club allows for it not to get too hot and sweaty, but it is also more prone to smoking. The pool on the outside looked like it would be fun, but since it was a Monday night, essentially everything was closed off. The bathrooms are nice and no wait time.\n\nSo let's skip to the bad stuff. For me, the dj makes everything. Even if I am with my friends, if the dj sucks, then the entire night is ruined. For Monday night, I paid $20 (yes, even for a girl...though I wasn't on the guest list). And what did I get? Monday night techno music. I guess for some people, techno music is their thing, but not so much for me. A lot of the people in the club were just standing around, looking aimlessly, not dancing, but more talking on the floor and around the alleys. In total, my friends were at the club for less than an hour, throwing out money into the trash. Basically, the dj kept playing the same track over and over, interlaying it with something else. The dancers themselves even looked bored.\n\nAround halfway when we were they, the dj changed, so we crossed out fingers, hoping that it would be better...but.....no, it got worse. Not only was it still techno music, but it was slow techno music. At that point, I called it a night and we left.\n\nAnother negative was no seating on the outside, but that could be because it was closed on Monday. I could see how it could get better on weekends, so I'm still going to visit at least one more time in the future. Just...be smart and don't go on weekends..unless you like techno.
