We chose Haze Nightclub on a Friday night solely because of proximity and insanely last minute plans (and by last minute I mean spontaneously deciding to go out halfway to Vegas literally at 10 PM). Since we were staying at Aria and Vdara, and Haze Nightclub is literally right there on the lowest level of Aria hotel, we conveniently opted for Haze. Hooray for no hassles in terms of walking too far in heels or hailing a taxi cab. \n\nI must preface this by saying that I will always have a clouded view towards Haze, not because of inebriation mind you, but solely because I misplaced my ID here and their management/cleaning crew were not at all cooperative or helpful in providing me with any professional direction. (Side note: To the Asian girl out there who is passing off as a 16-year-old brace-face version of Phoebe C, good luck to you. Hope you get denied from all the clubs you try to get into and all the drinks you attempt to buy.)\n\nAnyway, the space of Haze itself is what I would call mid-sized. It's not humongous like Marquee or XS, and from any one angle of Haze, you can pretty much see the entire layout of the nightclub. The bar area is at ground level, and the dance floor is a few steps down. The area for the DJ and dancers are on stage level, and to the side are roped areas for table service. With a full crowd on any given night, the nightclub does get extremely packed. You have to be pretty assertive and aggressive to even order a drink.\n\nDrink-wise, I must say their Kamikaze shots are pretty legit. While most shots need chasers, you can drink Kamikaze straight up on the rocks if you wanted to. It's that good. If you are baller enough to order table service, your table will be flowing with chilled Grey Goose, which is some quality vodka, compared to some cheap vodka other clubs try to pass off to you at ridiculous prices. \n\nMusic-wise (and this might be attributed to a sign of the times), the majority of their music from the DJ was house music and EDM beats. However, it was bearable because they had some old-school rap and new-school hip hop added in. The trippiest part was the flashing white strobe lights; it made you feel like you were in a constant state of \"flashing lights\" (think Kanye) or in a dazed and confused drugged up state. Regardless of how sober you were. Weirdest experience ever. \n\nThankfully, the security guard asked our group if we wanted to join one of the tables. It was definitely one of the times I was thankful to be a girl with a group of attractive ladies. Can't refuse flowing bottle service, a secluded seating area, and table top dancing. As a result, we just had a lot more space during the entire night and a much more pleasant experience. Haze is definitely not one of the \"it\" clubs in Vegas, but depending on who you go with and who you are able to mingle with, you can have a potentially pleasant experience. \n\nNote: This is not to say that Haze is not replete with creepers. In fact, they lurk here, there, and everywhere. So be ready to put your best b$^@* face on and tell them to f&#$ off.
