Vegas, please welcome Ibiza into the building. For the first
time, Vegas has built a mega club that compares to the best in the world such
as Pacha, Amnesia and maybe even Space Ibiza (nobody can really touch Privilege
quite yet). I got in at a decent time with my friend Elise, and we lost some causalities
to the pool during the day. Or else we would've had another epic ratio day.
Fortunately our friend, and VP of customer development at the Light, Norman
knows that scenario all too well.
Unlike the scene the night before at the MGM, the Light does
in fact have a moving line and at the same time it is kept spread out and
organized. It was very clear as to where the ticket holders, guest-list and
table service clients should line up. We walked up to the very first person at
the ropes, and he was able to quickly point us to Norman right away. Within minutes we found him, and exchanged a
few pleasantries along with a token of appreciation and IN we go.
As soon as we walked in, we heard the loud bass thumping
from the dance floor. We already knew the sound system was on point in
comparison to Hakkasan. There was only one room, so they didn't need to noise
proof the main room with worries of sound leaks into other places. As we turned
the corner and finally saw the dance floor, we saw an arena full of madness.
There were Cirque the Soleil performers dangling from the ceilings, and rage
all around. Surprisingly it was spread out rage, so there was plenty of empty
room for us to cruise all the way to the front of the stage. DJ Stellar started
the night out with some epic tech house to get the dance floor moving in the
right direction.

We decided to cruise around, and this place is absolutely
huge. The best way to describe the stage, is a club with a built in rave sized
HD stage. HD as in being wider then your normal stage. This allows room for a
wider dance floor, thus way more room to rage and dance. The best part is that this
place comes with a second level balcony just as spacious as walkways of the
first level. The bathrooms for both male and females are on both floors! These bathrooms were in the perfect location,
the corners of the club, where one with common sense would think to put them.
The bars were built along the entire back wall, and there are plenty of waiters
and waitresses ready to serve you with minimum wait and maximum service.

As the night progressed from the opening DJ to the next, the
production value went up by a notch progressively until the ultimate build up.
Following Stellar, Sebastian Drums threw together a high energy progressive
house set which got the liquor flowing. My connect Kirk whos in with the
security got us into the VIP section for a better of the stage, and more room
to rage without bumping into anyone. I would say, I m surprised by the amount
of Dom Perignon Magnums
ordered at a consistent rate at these center aisle tables. I had a chance to go
over the price list for the tables at the Light beforehand, and it is along the
lines of XS and other clubs in Vegas. Unlike Hakkasan where there is a clear
inflation of prices, and unfilled tables.

| The Light - Way too much going on at any given time |
Every few minutes the dance floor was flooded by confetti, with an act behind stage, a gymnast doing tricks from the ceiling and even a go go would pop up out of no where start dancing. It was a complete sensory overload. The last time I had a feeling like this within a night club was most definitely in Ibiza. By the time Thomas Gold the main DJ came on, the entire club turned into a set for main stage DJ at EDC. After the night was over, I believe I found my new favorite club in Ibiza, wait Vegas. Which fortunately is only a few hours away. I will most definitely be coming back for years to come.
