Las Vegas Dayclub Tips

While most people are used to nightclubs being open on Friday and Saturday nights, Las Vegas does things a little bit differently. The demand to attend the the hottest nightclubs in the world allows every single night in Sin City to feel like the weekend. That means that even during the week there will be some of the best nightclubs that are not just open, but throwing fantastic events with headlining DJs, live performances, and celebrity hosts.

It is true that not every single club is open every day of the week, but you can rest assured that the week nights there will be multiple clubs open each night. The Las Vegas locals call these midweek parties industry nights or industry events. It's also nights where the locals and industry folks get to go out. During the week you can expect to find clubs that are busy, but not typically slammed slammed slammed like on the weekend. You will also find a better crowd because the venues are not dominated solely by tourist partiers taking things to the next level.

While venues do sometimes add or subtract which nights they promote during the week, we make sure to keep you up to date on what spots are the best to attend on each night. You can also always check our events page to see what guest list events are upcoming.

Misconceptions About Vegas Deejays Being On The Decline

Joseph Gettright DJ Interview
Both news outlets and social media in Las Vegas have been on a frenzy recently about apparent trends in the DJ world. We interviewed Joseph Gettright to get the inside scoop about what is really going on, and what the future might hold.

With an extensive background in all things music and entertainment in both LA and Las Vegas, give us a little background about yourself.

Well, I currently reside in Las Vegas NV transplanted from my hometown of Los Angeles, CA. I worked in radio at Power 106 for many years when I lived in CA. I spend a lot of time in the studio and deejay at various venues around town. I've had the opportunity to work with some well known artists and djs that have grown to be some of the biggest names in this industry. I've had the opportunity to open for many big name acts, more recently: Nelly, Journey, Wyclef Jean, De La Soul, One republic, & Big Boi of Outkast to name a few.

Recent articles in the Las Vegas news and social media channels have been focused on the decline of DJs they call the “world-famous knob spinners”. Being a Las Vegas DJ yourself, what are your thoughts on this?

Man! There's so much i can say here, but I'll try and keep it simple. There's a big misconception in general with what a deejay is versus "knob spinners." If you can't blend records without the aid of technology, you shouldn't be labeled as a deejay. If you're a producer standing behind a table and a dj setup, well thats exactly what you are, a producer standing behind a table and dj set up. Our society has to gain a better understanding of the difference between, lets say a celebrity actor that was approached to get paid as a "deejay" that has put virtually no time in learning the craft and a real deejay that has dedicated blood sweat and tears to his profession and art. So once you understand that a deejay will always be around long after the "superstar deejay" hype is gone you won't buy into some of the comments being made around town about how deejays are on the decline. Big venues and festivals have been around in the house music side of this business and when they weren't being made out to be huge acts they were still playing festivals (or raves as they used to be called). You have to remember, names like Tiesto, Carl Cox, Oakenfold have been around even before the hype of the current EDM scene. What they're hyping up to be a decline of deejays, I just see as shift in the music scene. Different genres grow popularity at different times during the course of time.

Do you think that the nightclubs and dayclubs will choose to move away from these headliners all together, or simply just pay them less?

I think many talent buyers, club owners and marketing groups have gotten themselves in this pickle where they held Vegas up to this image and brand that offers the best of everything. Mega clubs, big huge lighting set ups, the hottest girls, and the very best in entertainment. In this endeavor they've participated in this bidding war over the "hottest ticket" brands at the time and have now found it increasingly hard to make money as they feel the EDM scene has shrunk in popularity. I think natural selection will figure out its own balance. The hottest brands will continue to command top dollar but their fee will likely come down out of the stratosphere some because the best venues and stages around the world will stop booking and contracting them. They simply can't turn a profit.

If DJs are no longer the main focus what does the future hold?

I don't see a world where we have automated playlists and smart players playing tracks for a nightclub or day pool environment ever. I could be wrong! I can't see the future! haa, But deejays, especially good deejays, were always tasked with creating a vibe and creating energy and hype. That energy comes from the music he selects to bring the energy up, then bring it down. An environment with no deejay has no energy, so what do you have? A lounge?

Jesse Waits is heading up the new nightlife venues set for 2018 at the Alon Las Vegas casino and said he’ll “be creating a club for cool people”. What are cool people and what is going to entice them to future venues?

For me, the cool crowd of people are trendsetters. It's usually the individualist rebel that wasn't afraid to wear his/her hair differently or wear clothes that made them stand out when no one was into it and turned then it turned into a fashion trend in their community, nationally or globally. In the music scene, it was the emergence of EDM. House music wasn't this popular 10 years ago, but it was for some people, their hearts. Then as it popularized, everyone was making "EDM." Another example, was Pharrell wearing that Vivienne Westwood grammy hat. It became a huge parody initially but he popularized it so much that today, many of the "cool" kids are wearing similar hats. As for what the the future holds to entice them into the venues? The younger generation growing up these days have less and less attention span so first they would always go to a new spot that has the latest hype. I don't see the club scene changing that drastically in a couple years but I think variety is what is going to keep the future venues filled up. Constantly evolving visuals and musical vibe will keep the next generation of cool kids coming to the clubs.

When it comes to locals and tourists, what are most people interested in when it comes to choosing where to party in Vegas?

Many locals that go to clubs often work in them many nights a week already. They've been to it all, so they go where their friends go. This is related to the cool kids idea. Everyone thinks they're cool, but everyone goes where the "cool" kids go. So if the whole town is going to end up at a particular spot one night because word is, everyones going, then thats your cool spot for the night. As for Tourists, I've always broken tourists down to two groups in relation to this question, There are the ones that have zero clue about how Vegas works, and will go where they're told, because a promoter on the blvd told them this is the hottest spot. Then theres the tourists that come often enough and know where they want to go. After that, tourists always go where they can see their favorite artists perform.

What songs will always be popular in the clubs no matter the DJ?

This is tough to answer in a general sense. It depends on the club, Hip Hop club will be different than House club. I can say this: so much music has been remixed over and over over during the course of the last 10 years that many of these songs reemerge in popularity due in part to the technological advances in sound design and the ease of putting music out to the masses these days. So lots of songs never seem to die! I guess two that pop into mind, are:

Usher - Yeah

Robin S. - show me love

Victor Drai said “people are sick of DJs in Vegas”. As a DJ yourself how do you reply?

I'd have to say no, no they're not. How do you say that when you're still booking deejays heavily in your venue? He's released all of his EDM based acts and have gone with more traditional deejays combined with hip hop/pop acts in the last 6 months to a year. So how does that statement actually coincide with what your venue is doing? As for myself being a deejay and believing in the craft, a deejay is the backbone of any musical environment much like the drummer is to a band. A drummer is the heartbeat of the band. How do you have a nightclub without a deejay? They program songs, they program your night, they do your shouts out, they interact with your crowd ( the ones that don't is a whole other interview!). Now imagine a nightclub without a deejay, just an iPod. A song plays all the way through, it stops, another one starts. Plays all the way through and stops, another ones starts, and so on and so forth. Sounds more like a lounge than a nightclub, If thats what you want then let someone else run your venue that's passionate about music and cares about creating a an environment to party in. How does the saying go? Find something that your absolutely passionate about doing, then find someone willing to pay you for it.

How Science Cures Your Worst Hangover

So you had a night out and woke up feeling hungover as hell. The first part of the solution is to stop drinking (that is until next week when it happens all over again). Let’s be honest. It’s inevitable and you know it. There are many pills and myths that claim to do the job, but here are the actual scientifically proven tips to help cure your hangover.

Before you start drinking make sure to eat fatty foods and carbs. Sure you want to look slim for your night out, but the fact is fatty foods slow down the absorption of alcohol into your body and help lessen stomach irritation. Carbs prevent low blood sugar and ease nausea, which helps you avoid vomiting. This also gives your body more time to process the harmful byproducts of alcohol (one of the main reasons for your hangover).

Next is water. Water is your best friend before, during, and after drinking. Alcohol is a diuretic which means you’ll be peeing out more fluid than you are taking in. With less water in your body your other organs start to steal it from the brain. This causes the brain to literally shrink and lead to those pounding headaches. So while you are drinking have another drink of water.
You can also do yourself a favor by choosing lighter colored liquors. Dark drinks like red wine, bourbon, brandy, and whiskey contain higher concentrations of something called congeners. These congeners act as extra toxic chemicals that your body has to eliminate. While beer doesn’t fit into this category, the age old rhyme “beer before liquor, never been sicker” does apply. Carbonation, like that in beer and soda, increases the rate of absorption of alcohol and can cause a worse hangover.

After the bar…..more water. You may be peeing all night, but it’s better than your head exploding tomorrow morning.

Aspirin before bed is also helpful. It’s not caffeinated and inhibits the release of something called prostaglandin (which has been known to contribute to hangovers). Make sure to stay away from Tylenol. The chemicals with Tylenol can be extremely harsh on your liver, and in combination with alcohol, can do some severe damage.

In the morning your breakfast can make all the difference. Eggs contain Cysteine, an amino acid which is required in the breakdown of alcohol to acetate. Bananas contain potassium which is essential for brain, muscle, and body function, and fruit juice contains vitamins and fructose (fruit sugar) which gives you energy and increases the rate at which your body excretes toxins.

But perhaps the most important rule is to know your limit. There are major differences between gender, races, and individuals when it comes to alcohol. Know that by using these simple strategies in the right order you’ll be on the road to avoiding those pounding hangovers, until next week…..when you do it again.

Las Vegas Nightclubs 18+

Las Vegas Nightclubs 18+
A question we get asked a lot here in Las Vegas is what clubs are 18+? Sadly we always have to report that there aren’t any nightclubs in Las Vegas for 18 year olds. While other cities in the U.S. may have nightclubs that allow people under the age of 21 to enter, Las Vegas is not one of those locations. All of the nightclubs in Las Vegas are 21 and up.

If you are under 21 and are thinking of using a fake ID to get in, please don’t. The nightclub and hotel employees and security staff are trained to spot fake IDs, and they are extremely strict so don’t waste your time.

7 Annoying Mistakes Nightclub Tourists Make In Las Vegas

Nobody’s perfect, but we wanted to showcase some of the common blunders in Las Vegas that annoy the crap out of us. Hopefully these goofs can be found, learned about, and avoided before they happen.

1. Walking Slowly in Crowded Areas of the Casino

The casino and hotel designs and decorations in Las Vegas are eccentric, over-the-top, and downright amazing. If you find yourself walking through such areas gazing in awe you are likely walking extremely slow and blocking countless people behind you. Move the hell out of the way, there are people that have places to be.

2. Misjudging Distances

No matter what you may think, everything on the Strip seems closer than it really is. It’s probably due to its large scale and the fact that tourists can see everything from just about everywhere. Just because you can see the Wynn from the MGM Grand it is NOT a five minute stroll. Stop being late.
Las Vegas Strip Mistakes

3. Not Using Birth Control

Many people come to Vegas to lose control of real life. While this enjoyment can be fun, making poor decisions that have long lasting effects is not. Be spontaneous, but make sure everything that happens in Vegas stays in Vegas.

4. Barefoot Anywhere

If you know your heels are going to hurt for your night out, simply don’t wear them. Go with something else. There is nothing worse than seeing a group of female stragglers limping along Las Vegas Blvd. trying to get back to their hotel with bare feet and fully black stained bottoms.
Barefoot Las Vegas

5. Thinking Prostitution is Legal in Vegas

While almost anything does go in Las Vegas, one of the largest misconceptions rules them all, and that is thinking that prostitution is legal. It is not legal anywhere in Clark County, which is where Las Vegas resides. Just because people pass out porno cards all over the strip (ones that end up littering our streets), don’t ask me where to get prostitutes. You’re on your own.

6. Not Hydrating

Las Vegas is in the desert. So yes it gets extremely hot and dry here, especially in the summer. Many party tourists will try and push themselves with pool parties, dayclubs, and nightclubs all in a row. We recommend only the true party professionals push the hydration limits. Alcohol is a diuretic and causes the body to lose more water than it takes in. Combine that with the heat, and you’ve got quite a challenge. Take the time to hydrate throughout your stay in Las Vegas. You’ll likely end up being able to attend more of the wildly fun events, and will probably avoid the potential extreme hangover.

7. Not Using No Cover Nightclubs to Get On The Guest List

Dealing with promoters in Las Vegas is annoying, stressful, and unreliable. Partiers in Vegas now have the option to be their own promoter with NoCoverNightclubs.com. Know exactly what events are going on at which venues, and put yourself on the guest list in under 30 seconds. From there we do the rest and make sure the doormen have your name to get in. Don’t be left outside of the fun.
