What a concept. |

| quote: | Jesse Waits, who had been the force behind Wynn’s EDM mecca XS and now oversees clubs, lounges and restaurants for Alon, says, “We created a monster.”
He’s referring to clubs that got loaded with EDM fanatics and eschewed a picky door. “People who just want to see DJs don’t dress up, they don’t have style, they don’t even want to be in a nightclub — they want to see a concert,” he says. “They’re not cool. Nightclubs are cool-people clubs.”
At Alon, he adds, “I’ll be creating a club for the cool people.” |
Well, he certainly sounds like a cool guy! I bet he has great style. |

They're just adjusting to the fact that big Dj's and EDM are old hat now - the DJ's they were booking were just playing commercial tripe to the uneducated bandwagoners and now it's moved on.
The days of SHM, EC Twins, Guetta et al, and thankfully over and this is just Vegas trying to adjust. Deep house and techno are cool now, not lowest common denominator, fist pump, jesus pose EDM. It's alos far better for the promoters business model, not having to pay six figures a night for a dj.
If anything, I think it's good for the scene and music as a whole. Vegas actually has the potential to become a legit clubbing scene for good djs' - they have all the facilities, nice clubs and the money to make it work. It's just down to getting it right, which they probably won't do, although I will say I've had great nights on EDC weekend in the smaller clubs like Drais and Lavo with the good DJ's from EDC (Carl Cox, Sven, etc). |

One of the only words I've come across that I don't recall ever coming across before.
I did find this, though: http://www.verbotennewyork.com/ |
