Most people visiting this Venetian-based nightclub are unaware that it's actually a knock-off of the Asian-theme bistro and lounge in New York - that hasn't been a true hotspot in years. The Vegas version come a bit closer, with a Buddha-theme lounge complete with ornate statues, water garden and exposed brick walls in a temple-inspired warehouse space. Every corner of the 15,000-square-foot club is a stage for half-naked "performance artists"- engaged in woman-on-woman play fights or sensual soaking session in one of the semi-translucent bathtubs. The crowd can vary between star-studded to outlet mall, but sticking to Saturday nights with DJs like Robert Oleysyck and DJ Vice is the safest bet.
Tips
Thursday through Saturday offer long lines and a $30 cover for most girls and guys, excluding some locals.
Last Word
Located directly off the Grand Canal at the Venetian Hotel and Casino, this mega-entertainment complex includes a full-service restaurant, VIP Lounge and outside terrace with strip views, Asian-theme décor and periodic celebrity buzz from B-List celebs like Tara Reid and Kevin Connolly.
