Vegas Easter Weekend Busy or not?

7 attractive girls we will be in Vegas Thurs April 8-12
We are wondering if we should buy VIP packages to avoid lines or if we will be okay, is Vegas busy on Easter Weekend? We are thinking Rain on Thirs, Ra on Friday and Seven on Sat...Any info would be greatly appreciated

Are these the right bars? We like Hip Hop, House Top 40 etc.

Probably don't need VIP packages but some of the ones they have on www.vegas.com under nightlife are worth it if you have a large group

Your schedule sounds pretty good - Rain is the most crowded on Friday and Saturday w/ rediculous lines, so Thursday is a good call. I wouldn't go to Seven on Saturday unless it is around 4 am b/c it is only good for afterhours. Check out ICE instead - best club out here in my opinion

First....your going the on the wrong week because I will be there Apr 22-26th....just kidding.

Mandalay is booked solid, that usually means its busy.....but you are 7 attractive girls...so it might not be an issue.

RA might be better on Thursday....Rain or Light on Sat.

PM me if u need more info and want to be sure that you dont have a problem getting in anywhere.....without the need for VIP.

Stay away from RA on Thursdays unless you want ONLY hip-hop. I've walked through the luxor a few thursdays ago and there was such a trashy crowd all w/ Jerseys and Hats on. One of the bouncers I talked to said its the only day they do stricly hip hop and that its usually pretty ghetto all night. Wednesdays and Fridays are house/dance music and Saturdays are a mix of hip hop and dance.

Stick w/ Ra on a Friday - definely the best night to go of all 3 nights you'll be around. The line for Rain is insane on the weekends so Thursday is a good call for that - its crowded but there isn't even close to the line from all the tourists in on the Friday/Sat.

Light is an above average club @ best and is mostly hip-hop. If I was in for only a few days, I wouldn't waste one of the best nights on that place. If you are going out Sunday night, go to Light. Sundays aren't nearly as busy at the clubs and that is the one night around here it is know to go there.

Definitely go to Ice on Saturday - probably a 2 minute cab ride off the strip - right by the Hard Rock. 2 rooms of music - great VIP areas - and if you are going to drink I would definiely check out these packages. Got one for Halloween and it was definitely worth it

RAIN FUCKIN SUX ASS. RAIN HAS THE 2 WORST OF DJs in all of VEGAS. they played the worst one-hit wonders of rap ever there and barely any club music. i would go back only cuz the girls are easy there. IT STARTS THIN OUT AROUND 3 AND THEN EVERYONE HEADS TO DRAIS

I preferred Light (believe it or not), ICE, 7 over Rain. Of course I would pop in for the reasons above mentioned by hype

Totally agree on Rain - its a tourist trap w/ horrible music. But I think people who haven't been there should see it once because the inside of the club (looks wise) is awesome. I was blown away the first time I saw it on my first trip out here - after 2 or 3 times your realize how horrible the music is and it loses its appeal. I do want to check it out for one of the Pimp and Ho or Club Rubber Parties one of the next couple of Holiday weekends (if JP isn't spinning somewhere else) b/c I know its a good party when they have better DJ

So we should ditch Seven on Sat and do Ice instead ??

danswat79 · #10 (**permalink**) 03-25-04, 05:56 PM

Definitely ditch Seven on Saturday for ICE. Not sure if your into afterhours or not, but only go there if you want to party late that night b/c the place is dead before 4 am - usually gets good from 4 - 8 am. I would also reccomend going to Drais on Friday night between 3-4 am - another great afterhour spot.

I agree with Danswat...

Ice on sat, late night to Seven.. Drai's on friday.. As much as I am not a huge fan of Rain, if you have never been, worth checking out at least once, so go friday...
