Cherry Nightclub

This place has great potential but the execution is all wrong.  There's an outside and an inside, outside has a pool that had these really pretty floating light up orbs in it.  There's a bar outside and a bar inside. That's good!  :)

They allow men to dress in shambles at this place. Sneakers and golf shirts, shorts and flip flops.  I'm supposed to swoon at this? Blah. Every girls crazy about a sharp dressed man.

IF you are going to allow that then make a night swim party, you got a pool make it like some of the poolside clubs in Miami. Throw on a coverup and a bikini and swim till late in the night. I got in free, guy friend even though he was a local, had to pay a whopping $10.

Dancers were tight and some of the cocktail servers were looking good, but the VIP table chicks had on Jorts and like knee high socks and sneakers???? WTF? I don't even wear that to the beach it was a mess. Does not represent an upscale club in Vegas and definitely not at night.

We stayed for one drink then left.

Get a theme and stick to it and make the dress code consistent.

Cherry is the only conventional nightclub off of The Strip. After a hiatus of nearly two and a half years, "Cherry Nightclub is re-opening its doors for a six-month summer affair." The grand re-opening occurred on Friday, May 25th, 2012, advertised as "Cherry Nightclub Summer Affair." It gives them the option of shutting it down at the end of the Summer if the experiment is not successful.

The previous incarnation of Cherry had a cover charge of $20 for men, while ladies generally got in for free. However, many men circumvented the $20 cover charge by knowing or befriending the doormen. Consequently, an unfavorable demographic became dominant, which contributed to the demise of Cherry. The Great Recession helped precipitate the closure.

Learning from their mistakes, the reopened Cherry now has a cover charge of $10 for men, and ladies get in free. However, after replying to a post on the Facebook page for Nightlife Station, I discovered that a guy and his buddies can get in free by calling Nightlife Station in advance--at (702) 495-3333--and asking to be placed on the guest list. That is what I did, and it worked.

We arrived last night, Friday, shortly after midnight. There was no line or crowd in front. I told the doorman we were on the guest list and gave him my name. He went back and checked, then let us in.

The reopened Cherry is a shadow of its former self--definitely nothing to write home about. It is not worth a cover charge in my opinion. On the other hand, there are none of the hassles of nightclubs on The Strip. The dance floor is small, since so much space is devoted to so-called "VIP" seating. The primary reason for this place to be in business is to sell so-called "bottle service." This is very obvious if you look at their web page and advertisements.

The outdoor area is accessible, including pool and bar. During our visit, all of the girls outside were sitting down, which was not conducive to guys who would have to stand up while approaching them. On the dance floor, as in any other nightclub environment, guys are relegated to the kamikaze method of approaching girls. Guys can initiate interactions with girls to the extent of their confidence, courage, and motivation. However, with the usual barriers that girls employ in nightclub environments, the odds are no better than approaching strangers outside of these environments.

So being a Vegas Local I do not frequent the strip nightclub scene often, except when we are entertaining guests from out of town or just in the mood.  When a local has a party sometimes the hassle is to much to bare.  So a friend of mine had her birthday party at Cherry and they did it right!  We had a BLAST!  Keep in mind if you are staying on the strip and not at this casino or live here I do not recommend taking a cab to this casino to party unless you want to do a smaller more local scene, but if you live or are staying here I highly recommend it.

We reserved a table and had ordered a VIP table with bottle service the prices are reasonable compared to strip prices but trust me if you do a club anywhere in vegas be prepared to drop a pretty penny both in VIP and/or just at the bar.  This isn't the local watering hole back home or your local bar down the street, you are paying for so much more then just some drinks.  Don't forget to tip, the tip is not included in any of the prices you are paying for.  The Bar prices were not as stated earlier in posts they are similar in price to strip prices BUT... they were strong!  LOVED that so much.  My boyfriend was not drinking what the bottles on table were so we were getting his at the bar.  The service was fast and the drinks were strong, he was a happy man.

The thing I liked the most about this club was the staff.  Everyone at the door was nice not the same experience I have had at the strip clubs, The bartenders were fast and paid attention when a new person showed up to order a drink.  The waitresses were hot with awesome outfits and very nice on top of that!  The bouncer next to our table kept chatting with us periodically and even busted out a few dance moves through the night.  The female dancers were hot and kept the vibe going but the best part of that was they have male dancers too!  OMG am I in heaven?!  Sadly their faces were covered but they had tight outfits on to show off the muscles, did a lot of cirque moves (quite impressive) and just kinda walked around talking and taking pictures with people.

So all in all as I said earlier we had a ball, I am even thinking of doing a redo for my last bad birthday next year when it comes back around!  I will gladly pay the prices for an all and all great time with pretty great peeps help serve us!
