Vex Nightclub at Harrah's

Tahoe in its glory days where the clubs are nicely decorated and promoted was really something else. This club used to be called Altitudes and was battling with Neros in Caesars (now Monte Bleu) for the hot spot. Artie the One man show was at Caesars back then so you can say that he inadvertently helped out Vex. Still, the club has lost a lot of its luster.

VIP:
I have never seen it sold out in a decade (even during the coveted week of the Golf Tournament) so tables are always available, even though they say it is not. The tables are in tiers surrounding the dance floor like a theater (which it is) so the closer to the dance floors will cost you more. Price is reasonable but the Vegas wanna-be Men-in-Suits are not friendly. They despise anyone who is not flashing money or chicks in their faces. That is pretty much everywhere. I suggest you stroke their $18/hr egos and tip them $20 to break the ice.

CLUB:
Attire-----Do not expect Vegas as only a small portion are dressed to impress.

Set-up---Spacious and has good lightning, but only a few tables on the floors with stools and I have seen people literally fight for those. Go with a VIP booth for larger parties.

Performers-Not bad having both male and female dancers as well as acrobats. Ladies used to dance topless, not sure now.

Patrons-All are cool people, but crowd may get young and ghetto at times depending on venues.

Music---Top 40, old mix, and trance. Not a bad mix.

Guys and Gals:
For guys--With Artie the One Man Show, you will get MILFs and cougars outside from the Sacramento and surrounding areas looking for action. Younger ladies will be around the California bar and inside. Please do not expect Vegas, but you might find what you are looking for. BTW, watch out for the escorts that are there to make money in other ways if you know what I mean. If you are a regular Joe and a gorgeous lady walk up to you, most likely she just wants business.

For ladies--Most are harmless young normal men who will wear that button shirt with slightly sagging jeans that just want to stand near the bar and buy you a drink. All good. There will be however,  a few cats walking around which got their stuff together: tall, full of confidence and swagger, well dressed in suits or physique- showing attire. And who can beat some of the celebrity athletes that will be there.

Hope this helped. Been there for many years on a yearly basis so just my opinion and observation.

My amazing friends planned the best bachelorette party a girl could ask for. We had an absolute blast!! It had been a while since I had been to a club in Tahoe so i was a little converned, but once we got inside Vex - we had bottle service and a great booth. It was close enough to the dance floor but far enough to where we had privacy. It was a great size for our group with plenty of seating room. Our waitress was friendly and we got our drinks fairly quickly.

The dancers and enterainment throughout the night gave it a little extra edge and the music was awesome. FUN FUN FUN, if you're looking for a place to go this would be it.

The only reason Vex got a 4 rather than 5 - the situtaiton on getting in is a bit of a mess. We were a group of 15 and we had VIP/bottle service. You only get to be a bride once (well at least you hope), so i wanted top notch service!! I wan't to feel like a VIP!  I didn't want to have to waitand get scruched and pushed and shoved and hear girls try to get in and cut before us. It was pretty obnoxious. They barely even acknoeldged or communicated to the groups & it was basically a shit show. We sat and waited longer than we should have until they figuired their list out and FINALLY let us in!!  If there was one thing that needs improvement, its the opperation of checking the VIP groups in. There should be an order not a hugr crowd smashing eachother, girls can get bitchy and it made me a little nervous. I didn't want something ruining my good time before we got in. Lucky for me, it didn't  but it could for someone else if this isn't corrected.

Oh yea and note to self if you take any sort of over the counter persciption (zantac, Pepcid etc. they will take it). Take it before you get into line.

I'll still go back because it was fun, but I will go with the expectation the entrance may not be a good time so I will grab a drink before getting into line.

Great sound system, nice seating. It was sorta dead tonight but I always enjoy a good boogie and the crowd was fun too. I'd definitely come back!
