text: This is my first review of any sort whatsoever. I'm a local here for 2 years now from Boston. We love The Banks every time me and my wife visit Vegas. Play lots of good hip hop music mix. The bar can get congested but its like that in most clubs. The dance floor gets very crowded at peak hours but we usually just hang by the upstair bar. We can usually can see everything on dance floor. Inside the club is not the problem. The problem is outside trying to get in. The bouncers are total a$$hole$. Ladies are always free and usually can get comp. I can totally understand ladies draw the guys in to spend big money. But guys, if y'all don't have VIP reservation be prepared to wait a long time or not GET IN AT ALL especially in groups of 3 or more. They won't even look at you. They will always let groups of ladies get in. Even with an even guy/girl ratio you will still have to wait roughly an hour with no one in line. Groups of guys get ready to tip the bouncer if you really want to get in or be prepared to wait. We have friends visiting from Boston this weekend. So my wife friend, had her bro in-law supposedly book a COMP table for 9 ladies. Alrite cool. But all the husband was going to go in after, and was checked in to get reduced pay $20 in front (still outside). We are cool with that. But after the ladies got in first for free. The husband or guys are waiting in a group of 6, and was totally ignored as many other people was let in. An hour and half passed by and we still waiting. We all was texting our wives inside. Supposedly my wife's friend bro in law (the promoter) played us for fools. He gets paid by getting girls in. We was sold a FALSE HOPE with this reduce pay cover. Supposedly he came outside to get us. We was looking for him but never seen him. He told the ladies he was looking for us but that's a LIE. We met him earlier that night for girls to check and that was it. The line wasn't even pack. We lost the mood to party and just decided to get a drink at bar beside the club. All the wives/girls decided to come back out.  This is the 2nd time this has happened to us. I will never come here again nor will I recommend anyone here anymore. Plenty of clubs or lounges in Vegas to have a blast. Don't waste your night here especially if you're a tourist. If you're are a Director this place you should be ashamed of how your management or staff operate. Customer satisfaction should be the highest priority of any legitimate business.
