djfrosty Posted April 11 Report Share Posted April 11 Got to Vegas around noon on Friday. Went straight to Mandalay Pool and hung out there till 6 pm. Great scene. Ladies everywhere and the weather was nice and sunny. 6 pm went to the casino for a tad and won about $400 playing craps. Friday night tried to go to Pure but had a late start. Line was ridiculous. Waited 20 minutes and decided to bag it and go to Body English. Got there and Greg and Todd the doormen (friends from my home town) hooked us up right away. Liked the place but can't stand hip hop. Great crowd, good vibe. Decided to leave there and go to Drai's which was another cluster fawk line. Didn't end up waiting in line too long. I was a little aggravated so we left. Gambled a little and went to Club Rubber in which we were supposed to be on the list. Weren't on the list so we purged $20 a peice to get in. PLACE SUCKED! Felt like I was at an eighth grade dance. Girls were horrible and the music was AWFUL. Would never go back there. Left there and went to the casino at Mandalay Bay till 8 AM. Man, it was cold as hell outside that night. Saturday night went to ICE. That place is absolutely sweet. Never saw Mark Farina before and let me tell you he just KILLED IT. He was awesome. Loved the cryogenix. The best set I heard at WMC this year Roger Sanchez on the Space terrace. This set topped that one. Mixing was tight, track selection was superb. As for the VIP bouncers at ICE...they were so nice and helpful. Only bitch of the night was our bill. Two bottles for 1K. Are you fawking kidding? That seems a little ridiculous. Besides the bill, was my best night in Vegas ever. I couldn't script in any better. The only thing I would change about my trip was getting to Pure earlier and a tad bit warmer.Can't wait to go back.

djfrosty Posted April 11 Author Report Share Posted April 11 I probably enjoyed ICE so much since I hooked up with a complete hottie. Funny how that can make your night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparkletarte Posted April 12 Report Share Posted April 12 Thanks for the info!I was emailed a bottle list from Ice and there were much cheaper bottles, starting arounf $275- did you just get something more expensive or was it jacked up because of Farina? How did you book your table- through Ice or someone else? Do you think a table was essential? There's 10 in my group and I have a feeling we'll need a table because there's so many of us. Not sure though that we'll be drinking 1 bottle/4 people...some of us don't drink that much...wondering if we do two bottles for 8, can we get the other 2 up to our table...Do you mean 8th grade dance because people were so young, or ???

Actually, the music is what stunk the most. Old, bad hip hop like Funky Cool Medina and shit. Plus there were hardly any people in there. From who was there it wasn't a good crowd.I think a table was essential. We had a prime time spot right on the dance floor. Great location. The bill and VIP arrangements were handled thru my friend. I believe the guys name at ICE was Brian. I can find out for you if you want. PM me and I will look for his number. As for the bottle prices, my friend ordered the booze. I think he ordered top shelf vodka which was $370 a bottle. ?? Then I assume they got a nice tip already added in. I was just told the bill was 1K which came out to 200 a person. I bet you will have a 3 bottle minimum at least for 10 people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should give Rubber another try but go on Saturday night!!Glad to hear the rest if you trip was alright!! Maybe we will meet up on your next visit!Not sure when my next trip will be to Vegas. My buddy is coming out mid May but I doubt I will go with him. I need to save some funds first. I tell you, South Beach for Winter Music Conference and this trip hurt the funds. But when I do come, I will let you know. Another note, if you haven't gone to WMC, it is a MUST!!!! Every March in Miami. NUTS especially if you like house music.Frosty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvegas Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 That sux, What happended with Pure? I think i put you on the list there, was there a problem? Or did you just show up really late? (what time did you get there?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticRain Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Hey Frosty.....did you forget i put you on the list for Drais??? I'm upset that the last 10 people I put on the list have not showed or got there, forgot they were on the list and walked away cuz the line was too long. If I put you on the list just walk up to the podium by the door or tell the host or guard you are on the list and here to see me, Jenn. I give up.....no more asking me for shit.

I give up.....no more asking me for shit.Of course I didn't forget. I had intentions of going to both places although you couldn't even get near a host at either place especially Pure. Believe me, Pure was a clusterfuck and Drai's wasn't much better. Oh well, still had a blast in Vegas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysticRain Posted April 13 Report Share Posted April 13 Advice for any club......fight your way through the swarm of people and find your way to the door. Or just ask someone who looks like they work there where the host is or who to talk to about the list. No biggie, glad you still had a good time.

liquidgrl Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Never been to Vegas yet, but planning on going this weekend, I'll be there till the 20th its Wed I think. I've heard great things about ICE, but you ppl kinda discouraged me from goin there... any other clubs with good house music and "pretty ppl"..Cause NY venues are filled with those...

djfrosty Posted April 14 Author Report Share Posted April 14 Go to ICE. Good time great music, great sound system. Love the cryogenix they do to enhance the music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrvegas Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 Ice, is good i would recomend it if you like house music. RA has Hip-hop and house on Sat and All house on weds. Mix @ Mandalay, Drais afterhours. Tabu Tuesday, thursday is another big house place. Pure has house on the roof Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danswat79 Posted April 14 Report Share Posted April 14 For good music - ICE is definitely the place to go. I think Paul Oakenfold is there this Sat. The crowd is pretty good - no better or worse than any other major club in Vegas. I go there for the music - not the people - but I don't think you will be disapointed - especially if you want good house/electronic musicBody English is probably has the best looking crowd of all the clubs I've been to - music is a mix of hip hop and some rock - its a good party to check out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liquidgrl Posted April 15 Report Share Posted April 15 Thanks to all...I'll be staying at Mandalay I guess everything is close by..wont spend too much time looking for those places... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
