We got added to a guest list so we didn't have to pay to get in. The guest list gave us 2 free drinks, but we weren't there in time to receive them, and bummer too, because the well drinks and beers are over $20. The dance floor was expansive and the layout made it not too crowded to move around, and the lights on the ceiling are mesmerizing. The DJ who was playing before the night's artist (Lil Jon) was unbearable. He switched between trendy sing along songs every 15-25 seconds, which made for terrible dancing. It was irritating trying to adjust to a new beat just as you got into one. We left after 25 minutes. Overall, the positives: an interesting venue with a good sound system and cool light shows. The negatives: drinks are an absolute rip off and warmup dj was rough.
