I was just there the end of June and did a lot of snoopin around. First suggestion is to go in the West coast forum and post the question. I did that and had several different people send me contacts/events to look into. Second, check the thread USA - West Coast > Colorado, Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Washington, & Oregon Events and you'll see some bigger postings..right now August line up is weak, doesnt even ilist one you'll be there for....but there's always a party in vegas!!!
'THE' places i was suggested to go each day of the week:
Monday - Pure (I went on a monday, massive lineup by 11, cover was 30/guy 20/girl. Drinks about $10-$15/drink or shot. Main room was playing top 40, but the patio is there you want to be! Excellent view of the strip, plenty of bottle tables, house music all night. Closes between 4 + 5 if i remember correctly)
Tuesday - Godskitchen party hosted at the Hard Rock (didnt checkout myself)
Wednesday - I heard LAX is busy wednesdays...but by a non-edm source so I dont know what it'd be music wise...more than one room though
Thursday - Tao nightlub, (I was there on a thursday, line up before the club opens, I suggest what we did: have dinner at the restaurant attached, GREAT FOOD, and you can ask your sever about getting a stamp. We got two, one line by pass + one for no cover. Ins + outs allowed!!! Most "toronto" like club experience i had there. Mostly heard top 40, then house...heard it closes at 4...didnt stay for the music past 2...nice looking club, SWEET roof top patio with hooka pipes, great decor and a swimming pool! Drinks about the same price...i remember their Effen Seven drink was $16 + tip. two rooms besides roof top "Tao Beach".
OPEN THURSDAY, FRIDAY, SATURDAY, SUNDAY
Drai's - Afterhours nightclub. Las Vegas's "zone". Opens at 1 or 2 am, goes till 9 or 10. Two rooms, House (will post a video below taken at 4:30am, bongo player complete) and hip hop. Cover was 20/guys 10/girls, bouncer at Tao was able to get me reduced for 10. BRING GIRLS. There's no traditional line up at Drai's, just a velvet rope sectioned off infront of stairs + an elevator down. Bouncer picks who gets let it, groups with girls are always first unless you know someone...in my case that Tao bouncer told me a name to say. You can tell there's resident club goers, sketchy crowd, dressed up crowd, and old asian crowds.
I wasnt there for the weekend last month, but i'm going back in 2 weeks(!!!!!!) Thursday-Sunday so im about to start looking for the best places to go. I'll let you know what i find out. So far just:
Saturday: Rain nightclub, paul oakenfold hosts Perfecto each week. Dont know for sure if he is there every week it brings in talent. August looks like:
8/8, Perfecto w/Max Graham @ Rain, Las Vegas, NV
8/15, Perfecto w/Mid Summer Nights Dream party (dont know exact Dj)@ Rain, Las Vegas, NV
8/22, Perfecto w/Bad Boy Bill @ Rain, Las Vegas, NV
Other clubs that I was told are geared for EDM are XS and Body English..don't know which nights they are good for. Keep you updated/let me know what you find out!
