I want to give Prive a better review, really I do.  2 1/2 stars is really what they deserve, but they could be so much better.  i see that a lot of other people really have positive reviews about this place, and its not that i hate it. it just has some major issues, especially if you are not blessed with the $$ or the people required to get a table.  being as i usually travel alone, my problem is the latter.\n\nthe herd of people clustered around the escalator is always a major pain in the ass.  i've had two very different experiences in this regard 1)was by myself and on guestlist, got in right away 2)was with my cousin and on guestlist, but she was already pissed due to the amount of people waiting to talk to the bouncer.  so she gave him major 'tude from jump and we basically had to force him to let us in.  over an hour later.  so the moral is: be nice, and look right.\n\nonce you get in though, the club is okay but vegas standards.  no blatantly obvious theme or decor, just a big room.  now, i've never found or hung out in any other area than the main room - i don't even know where the other areas are actually (there's a patio?).  but the main room is decent, and this is why this place has potential.  once in, it is generally fun, music is pretty good and the crowd is good.  but, like another reviewer mentioned, there's not a particular vibe or spirit to this place.  to me, its just another big generic club.  it just happens to have go go dancers and high drinks.  and these days you really can get that anywhere.\n\nnow, this place also has potential because when they have a special guest host or DJ, they usually deliver and its usually pretty good.  i was here when DJ Clue and Lil Jon were here, and both nights i had a good time shakin it.  now i'm not one to risk it, but my cousin danced so hard she had to ditch the shoes, so that is evidence of how decent a time we had.\n\nlike i said, drinks are somewhat expensive, i think 4 rum & cokes was like $50 once you added in a tip.  but thats to be expected.  so drink before you go (to any vegas club, really).  \n\ni will go to prive again, because like i said its not all bad.  but if i have to deal with that jerk with the too short pants and funny hair at the entrance again, it will be on.....
