Liaison Nightclub

Good riddance. This place was awful from top to bottom.
Bad music
Weak drinks
Bizarre amount of staff doing nothing.
Next!

Well… I guess you can say I WAS a fan since they’re closed now? I was literally just there less than 2 weeks ago too. Anyway, the club was cool… not spectacular but my party and I did go on a Friday night. It took probably a little over an hour to start picking up. We had table service and that was cool. The DJ booth was a little too close to the booths on the side– I could not hear anyone’s conversation! The music was cool… somewhat all over the place in terms of the genres but I did enjoy when they were playing 90’s– by that time I was drunk and dancing so you can say it was a successful night. Hopefully something else can replace this place on the strip…

Nice intimate, upscale gay club… something we’ve been missing.
They play big room EDM and house music just like the mega clubs. And tho small in size, decent level of production with lasers and cryo-​cannons in the front room.
Pros
— free for locals & guestlist available if you’re entertaining out of towners
— quality cocktails and creative bartenders that will come up with something new for you
— decent dance floor and lighting effects in front room
— overall nice décor
Cons
— that hallway can get a lil crazy

I had high hopes for visiting this club. After Krave completely collapsed, and Share was a major disappointment, I thought maybe this would be awesome. But the truth is, this place blows. The only good thing about it was Andrew, who texted me a lot after I contacted him and was nice and put us on the guest list so we wouldn’t have to pay a ridiculous $ 20 entry (who does this anymore??)
The design of Liaison is mind blowing — and not in the good way. The place is super small with a tiny dance floor in front and if you WALK THROUGH THE DANCE FLOOR you can pass under the Exit sign (?) and it leads to the larger dance floor in the back. Don’t bother though, no one will be dancing there except the go go boy and girl who are totally into themselves and aren’t even all that — because they play god-​awful-​undanceable EDM crap music in the back. The tiny dance floor in the front is where they play a strange mix of old R&B/HipHop with some with new HipHop thrown in there… but don’t get excited, because it’s a mess. When I was there, there was a really annoying DJ who kept yelling into the microphone every 5 minutes.
There seemed an overabundance of wait staff — pretty much all oddly wearing black vests, which reminded me of when I used to don those in the very early 90’s — but unless you are ordering bottle service, won’t be friendly or interested in helping you. In fact, this place seems to only exist to make people buy bottle service. There’s no where to sit unless you do, and all the wait staff seemed only concerned with those who do plunk out ridiculous amounts of money for this service. I think you’d be basically paying to be tortured.
There were only THREE go go boys, and 1 go go girl, on a Saturday night close to NYE. THREE!!! And they tried to change outfits and change from the back to the front to the back of the club, but good try guys. it was pretty obvious it was the same dudes. In the front of the club, two of them danced. oddly positioned where you really couldn’t tip them, even if you wanted to do so. You guessed it — they are right near the bottle service booths.
I could go on but why bother… you get the gist. I sure wish someone would start a cool club with 80’s, 90’s pop music and House and Deep House, with friendly hot go go boys and a wait staff who just wants everyone to have fun.

Always a great time! Sexy dancers, beautiful venue, and sexy staff! You never know who you’ll see! Coco Montrese, Trenton Ducati, Johna Myers, there’s always someone sexy hosting a night.

Naked dancing men wearing duct tape over their privates – my fave!
Compared to the other gay-​friendly clubs in the vicinity, it’s closer (on strip) than Share and nicer than Piranha. If you manage to get on the guest list, you can get in for free and the line wasn’t very long when we arrived. If you’re with a group, I highly recommend getting a table with bottle service so you have a place to sit.
It’s not a huge space compared to the mega clubs, but it’s fairly large. The main room has a bar and a dance floor with tables surrounding. The second room was playing hip hop/​pop mashups. I’m not a huge fan of mashups, but that’s just my own preference. Not a huge deal. I liked the small performances they would have on the stage. The staff was friendly and so was the security, which is kind of refreshing.
As far as clientele goes, I’d say that if you go to an off-​strip gay club, you’re going to see a ratio of ⁶⁰⁄₄₀ locals to visitors. I had the sense that Liaison’s ratio of visitors was much higher due to the location and vibe. What sells this place for me is definitely the location and newness. I’d imagine the vibe changes each night depending on what’s going on, so I’d recommend checking out their site for the most up-​to-​date info.

I really enjoyed myself here. I took my friend here for his 30^th and it didn’t disappoint. There are two bars from what I can see. Las Vegas is an expensive city so all wells seem to be around $ 10 and there is a $ 20 cover. The best thing to do to avoid cover is to make friends with a promoter. Have fun with that. Anyways there are two dance floors. There is plenty of room to dance and its a very mixed crowd. The music is top twenty and I went on the weekend. I drank a lot so I don’t remember much. All I know is that I had fun

This club was the Britney Spears after party.
1. Dj’s were awesome 2 rooms (1) EDM music. (2) Hip-​Hop-​Old school
2. Crowd was great.
3. FREE to get in if you stay at the hotel/​have your Britney Spears ticket stub.
4. We stayed at hotel so it was very convenient & Super close to Planet Hollywood where Britney was.

Not sure why people are writing bad reviews over things out of the clubs control. Going over a few things
1.) the most impressive part of this club is the DJs. I’ve been here twice and both times every dj playing was spot on.
2) I personally like the dress code. An upscale gay bar on the strip is much needed.
3) I do wish it wasn’t in ballys, it’s a bit of an annoyance being right in the middle of the chaos of the strip but overall was easy to get to.
4) best advice is to try and get on the guest list. Drinks aren’t cheap but this is vegas. Find me a cocktail in a nightclub on the strip under 10 bucks and we can say this place is expensive
Keep up the great work!

Well-​appointed décor as early as the entrance and host desk. The over-​sized exterior doors and ornate hardware are only the beginning. The host staff and service staff are fantastic. In town on business, I ventured out two nights in a row this club. Toshia and her staff went out of their way to make me feel like royalty. DJ was on, and the pours were generous. Peter at the bar was sweet and kept the drinks coming. He was also quick to recommend a splash of St. Germain or another liqueur as an up-​sell, and the drinks were really very good. Easy to get on the guest list if you ask, with the help of Andrew at the door.
This club was recommended to me by my driver at the airport on the first day I arrived in Vegas. I will definitely be back!

I came with a group of friends for the grand opening hosted by Laverne Cox. Despite being on the VIP list and being told that there would be no cover, we all were made to pay $ 20 upon entry. Once there, we got in line to meet Laverne. Two of the five friends I was with were let past the bouncer and were permitted to meet her. The rest of us were forcibly shoved out of the line by a second bouncer, who told us we would have to «go around» to a nonexistent second line. Needless to say, we never met her. I will never understand why that bouncer did what he did.
Also, the music was terrible and a bottle of water is $ 8.
Will never return.

On a thursday night I understand that not everywhere on Las Vegas BLVD will be packed, but it was worse than I expected. It was in a tiny room with (pretentious I know) mediocre men. But I managed to have a fun time dancing with friends and talking to people.
But then, the next morning, I check my account and I was charged $ 80 to get in, when it was supposed to be a $ 20 cover (should be free for locals but whatever.) It was obviously a mistake so I called to get it cleared up, but no one answered. Has yet to be cleared up. Very Frustrating.
I want to love this club so badly but I’m afraid my one sour experience will ruin it for me.

After Krave’s birth, death, resurrection, death, rebirth, and death once again, I think it’s fair to say that the Strip was overdue for a new gay nightclub…
That’s where Liaison stepped in.
Liaison is unique in that it’s right in the heart of a major Strip casino — albeit not the trendiest or the shiniest on the block (Bally’s). But at least the location is nice and central.
I dropped by Liaison on Vegas Pride weekend, expecting out-​of-​control crowds and cover charges. None of that happened — when I arrived around 11:30pm, the friendly bouncer just waved me inside, and I didn’t pay a dime.
The interior is quite lovely. It has a retro vibe with lots of paintings and detail that’s to be expected of a Drai’s property. Bartenders are fast and friendly, and drink prices are pretty average for the area ($ 10 for a gin and soda). The music is mostly non-​danceable EDM that everybody except me seems to enjoy.
There are two main areas (front and back) with a little corridor between them. When one area is busy, the other one is dead. Too bad Liaison can’t attract enough of a crowd to fill up both spaces. A half-​empty nightclub is good for nobody — and on Pride weekend, no less? Yikes.
Hopefully with some good promotion and a few months for it to develop a loyal following, Liaison will finally be able to fill the void that Krave left behind.

Cover-​$ 20 no discount for locals. I’m not big on cover charge because I’m from SF and our cover charges are normally $ 5 but it’s Vegas. It’s worth it for atmosphere, and music.
Entrance/​bottle service-​we got bottle service for $ 250 which included tip, and 4 cover charges. I flirted with the promoter and basically threw my panties at him and was able to get 8 people in with the bottle service. Bottle was absolut with 3 mixers, and a hot ass gogo boy to serve us. Yassssss.
Bar drinks– this was a hit or miss. I went to one bartender and got well drinks for $ 9 and another bar tender who charged $ 11 for well drinks. Drinks are rather small for the price. They are strong but the glass is small so ehhhhh they could improve on this area. You’d be better off getting smashed in the casino first and then coming to this plae.
Service-​bartenders were all nice, and not, but I think they were straight. Bouncers were cool, they weren’t assholes like other clubs. Staff was all great. I’ve experienced worse in straight clubs.
Atmosphere– dance floor was big. There are 2 rooms. The one in the front which was empty when we got there, and the back room which is the main room was big, packed, loud music, it was popping. Dj played a lot of 90s hip hop and current beats which had everyone dancing. Big bathrooms with no line, lady bunny performed was awesome.
Stage gogo dancers was a thumbs down. 4 dancers, I tipped 2 of them. Most gogo dancers let you tip in their thong or briefs. These 2 assholes stuck their shoe out to me to tip them. Not even a hug or thank you. That’s just rude. How you gonna throw your junk in everyone’s face and then stick your feet/​shoe out for some tips. Really bitch? Some guys just threw the $$$ at them as said fuck off to them, hahaha that was funny.
I’d go back with bottle service. I wouldn’t pay cover if None of the other clubs charge cover except this one. That’s the only reason why I gave it a 3 is the cover and shitty gogo dancers.

This place is VERY new. So new that I think not many people know about it.
I’m not really into the club scene but the BF wanted to check it out. It was a Sunday night. We got on the guest list and got in free. The place never really reached its full potential. It never got full of people. But that doesn’t mean it wasn’t nice and that people shouldn’t give it a chance.
The music was great. All it truly needed was more people. The place was very clean and looked nice.
There was a bathroom attendant and he was super cool. I don’t know if this is the norm in vegas clubs but he started my water and would pump the soap for me when I would wash my hands and even give me a napkin to wipe off. He was probably the coolest part of coming here for me personally haha.
Overall people should check this place out. I think it has the potential to be big. All it needs is to have a solid base of customers and for that to happen people need to stick with this place.

A group of friends invited me to go out to Liaison over the weekend and I was excited to see what a new gay club on the Strip would have to offer. Instead of anything new, or even a cool atmosphere, it was just a hot empty room in the front and a half packed room in the back. We got there before midnight and got in for free with our local ID.
It is bad when one of the employees prefaces your entrance with, «Don’t be surprised that the room is empty, there are more people in the back». Okay… I guess I should be going somewhere else. In fact, I was at a gay bar near university and left for this club. The only difference was the previous place was jamming.
Of course, the booze is expensive. Of course, it is slightly uncomfortable. It is not as dressy as people has been reporting. It was an awkward mix shorts and flip flops, bow ties and button downs, khakis and polos, and various other states of dress.
Besides being with friends, I can’t say I enjoyed the experience there.

I was very excited to check this place out, for it’s new in Vegas. I wasn’t impressed, but I still had a good time. The place is way smaller than I expected, and there’s a $ 20 cover, and I honestly don’t think the place is worth the $ 20. I think the locals get in free, so good for those of you that live in Vegas! Lol
The music was pretty good, but that may also be attributed to Gaga being in Vegas that night with her ArtRave. I will probably will give this place another shot when I return to Vegas.

This place is beautiful! My buddy and I decided to check it out on a Thursday night the week after it opened. The venue is really clean and decorated perfectly. The drinks are average to high priced.
The most impressive part about this place is you don’t have the douche bag bouncers and door people giving you a hard time. They were happy to have us. Give this place a try.

my friend gave me a birthday party opening night! It was packed good music good drinks two dance floors. Bottle service, servers we’re very quick! As a straight woman I love going to gay bars you don’t have to worry about that slimy guys crawling all over you! Haven’t had that much fun in a really long time!

Got a free entrance to the club via someone on social media. It’s a good thing because the place is crazy expensive.
Place is poorly marked and when you find it you have to make your way through 4+ bouncers and enter into a room for only bottle service. That room was empty when I walked in which gave me flashbacks to all my murder mystery parties that were equally populated.
Farther back is a more open room, also with no regular seating and way too much staff walking around giving it an uneasy prison feel.
Overall I felt underdressed in jeans and button up given the vibe they appear to be going for.
One final thing, really disappointed that when you pay $ 12 for a drink it comes in a plastic glass. They would have been 2 stars but for this.
