Now paying 20 bucks to get in for being an out of towner is riduculous. We all should pay the same no matter who you are. Come on after all we are all family. Whats up with the idea that if your local you get free drinks?? So you charge more for out of towners?? not cool. Every bar needs to make money and be fair to everyone. I never been to bars/clubs that dont do that. So my Boyfriend and I wont go back it was only for the experience.
Thursday night hit
Piranha was a blast on a recent Thursday. We got there pretty late, but the crowd was still hoppin' and the drinks were definitely still flowing. Great venue to work up a sweat on the dance floor then chill in one the comfy booths. Staff was awesome too--super friendly and welcoming. Will definitely pay them another visit the next time I'm in Vegas!
Smokin, but not hot
The venue(s) are fun and well-maintained, but the friday evening that I was there got off to a slow start, with the dance floors not filling up til past midnight. The drag show was fun, but at the same time, i would rather have had the show earlier in order to free up the Paranha dancefloor sooner. Having two dancefloors allowed for flexibility in what genres you get as well as an alternative if the music sucked on one floor, tho overall the music was good. Go go boys were OK, but their boxes took up a lot of real estate on the dancefloor. This would be a 4-star review except that the place was TOO smokey (cigarettes AND a fog machine on each floor) and one of the patrons was rude to a lesbian friend of mine, first asking if she was a girl or a boy (she is butch, but still easily classifiable as a female) and then informing her that there was "another club" for lesbians. You DONT mess with my lesbians! I got in early and avoided the $20 cover-if i had had to pay,it would have been a 2-star review...
Good on a Friday Night
I went on a Friday night and it was descent. The $20 entrance was hard to swallow, but I did have fun inside. The had two dance areas, one hip hop and the other techno. The only down was the smoke. It was thick in some areas and struggled to stay in a ventilated area. Drinks were good.
