Got here relatively early to hopefully get in without having to wait over an hour like other people at the back of the line.  How they choose to manage entry here was so strange that night.  Basically even if you're near the front of the line you won't be let in so easily.  If you know a promoter or tip one of the bouncers you'll get in a lot quicker.  I figured we all tip the bouncer $10 to get us in quick and had him on the line, a friend in the group said wait and in the end we paid $40 a head to get in anyway.  Didn't have a problem with paying this much since it was my first time checking out XS and had won some money anyway. \n\nAfter that, excitement starts to set in after walking through the side entrance to enter in with the awesome outdoor pool landscape.  Secondly, the awesome quality of the sound system which is smartly hidden into the architecture and landscape.  Probably cost them millions for this incredible acoustic setup.  Found out this place is like 40K sq. ft. which is probably the biggest club I've been to.  And yes they have a number of tables on the island area of the pool, which can be useful.  Just make sure you're gambling before you get your drink on.\n\nThe drinks aren't insanely expensive like I've heard they might be.  I remember buying like four shots of patron for like $53 including tip.  Dance floor area is cool but too tight with how many people are there.  Lounge areas are good and the pool view is sweet everywhere. Honestly, I can see why this place is the one of the best clubs in the US but supposedly it's losing its luster as newer Vegas clubs open up and compete.
