Rain

Many moons ago, Rain was the club that introduced to real edm. Ibiza to Miami came on and we went wild. This place is huge and you can seriously get swallowed up in the space. The stairs to the upper levels are no joke. It’s not the newest hottest club, it’s off the strip. But man was it a fun night.

What happened to you, Rain?! You’re like a celebrity, once glamorous and incredibly popular, but that has fallen into obscurity. You used to be the posh spot, the happenin’ talk of the town… but now you’re overused, dirty, discarded.
This review is long overdue and almost joined Rain by also falling into obscurity.
The layout is still cool, the music still poppin’, but never in my life have I come across SO MANY ROAMING HANDS in one place. How shady can a place be such that at least 75% of the male population is trying to violate the females?!? I’d be dancing and suddenly a hand had appeared up my skirt and all the way up my thigh. I immediately moved away and noticed my lady friends were undergoing the same horror from other men.
I was uncomfortable on the dance floor, and that NEVER happens. I love to dance and meet people and have a great time, but I’m not about to put myself out there for THAT. Gross!
Let’s just say I won’t be back. Ever. Unless they have a successful Perv Purge movement.
DATE TIP: Fellas, let me break it down for you. Women typically don’t appreciate random hands up their skirts. At least buy them a drink first! Ha.

OMG came here to party and that’s exactly what our asses did! All I know is it gets packed like no other and getting a drink takes for-​e-​ver! But that’s why you’re in Vegas and you can drink all day while you’re doing your thing and by the time it comes to hitting the clubs, you’re already buzzed. Don’t get too trashed though. Get wasted an hour before coming (thats for those who can handle being a classy drunk). LOL
We def enjoyed Club Rain. You can go up top and enjoy the Las vegas view. Had a blast and maybe return one day. There are so many other places to go instead of Rain.

I liked the music here and when I came here the guy Taboo from black eyes peas performed and he got the crowd dancing and having a good time great performance.
Even though his performance enhance my experience the club itself was ehhhh and the crowd was ehhh too. Too many locals trying to be all Rico suaves on every girl.

I am not huge with the night club scene, but when in Vegas you gotta do what is popular
I found myself here at the tail end of a work conference and it was being put on by one of the conference sponsors. Who am I to turn down free food and drinks. Too bad we had just eaten though, so I couldn’t really do much but stare at the food and pretend I was hungry
The music was loud but easily enough to listen to people, there were many seating areas upstairs and a nice poolside lounge outside which had finally calmed down in temperature by 10pm
I didn’t stay long since the tables were calling me — when you are on a winning streak you wanna play — but I stayed long enough to know that this wouldn’t be a bad club to go to.
It ha to do a lot to draw in people as Palms is not a «on the strip» casino, so this is one of their more marketable assets

I’ve been to many nightclubs in Vegas such as Marquee, XS, Moon, Pure, Ghostbar, and Studio 54. There are several reasons why Rain is one of my favorite nightclubs. First I love the music. I get sick of clubs constantly just playing rap. Rain plays a good variety of music including dance songs. Secondly, I also love the special effects of fire and fog that comes from the ceiling. They have a nice setup of tv screens on one wall which creates the ambience of the club. This club feels more spacious than other clubs on the Strip. You can actually walk upstairs and stroll around if you need to take a break from the dance floor. I really enjoyed watching all the aerial performances done by different acrobats. The only drawback is that the interior is rather plain. Other than that, I would love to come here again.

I used to come here all the time with my promoter friend, who happened to be the first friend I had in Vegas.
Rain goes for a specialized crowd and doesn’t really show itself off like other nightclubs such as XS and Marquee and Tao do. You do get headlining DJs like Dash Berlin and Rusko every Saturday night, and the music primarily is either Latin on Fridays or Electronic Dance Music on Saturdays. However, this club DOES get packed, and they can pull in their people without having to be as public.
I would say that the people that come in here are much more well adjusted than anywhere else. I have NEVER seen anyone get kicked out or get into a fight here. Not in a single full year of coming here. A lot of people from Europe, a lot of the older grown-​up raver types. Civility-​wise, I say they tie with the folks that go to XS in terms of keeping the peace.
During the residency of Paul Oakenfield, they had acrobats and performers hanging upside down on the ceilings and swinging on these circus monkey-​bar things after midnight. They got these robot guys with diving helmets walking around on stilts handing you glowsticks and high-​fives. And they got these dudes in skin-​tight bright colored body suits flopping around like worms or fish on the stage.
Also on Saturdays you get the Party Harder Stamp, which allows you free entry into the neighboring Ghost Bar and more rowdier Moon Nightclub.

So you are in Lost Wages and want to go clubbing because that is what all the hot girls or guys are doing… and who hasn’t heard of Rain at least once? Well you get there and find that there is a line even if you are on the «guest list»… *WTH* I guess some promoters are better than others, at least we didn’t have to pay anything special to get in…
So this place is not very much fun unless you have a table or so it seems. If you don’t have a table, you are crushed into a super tight sausage fest space! GRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr… drinks are pricy, its hot (inside and out) and then they start running flames through the ceiling noticeably heating the room up even further with each burst… Not sooo much fun I must say.
PRO TIP: You can leave items at the front desk for pick up later at no charge!
The good thing about when I was here is that DJ Jazzy Jeff was spinning. It’s not every day that you get to listen to a legend. However the rest of the experience was subpar =\
I would much more highly suggest the other clubs within the Palms Casino over this one. Granted there were a couple of random cute girls here, but several were admittedly «working girls» and I didn’t want any part of that. I doubt you would either…

I haven’t been to Rain probably in about 5 years. My friends and I were planning a bachelorette party and this was the club the promoter was able to get us a comped bottle/​table area so, Rain it was!
We got in with no problem and bypassed the entire line. A hostess greeted us as soon as we got our hands stamped and took us to our table right by the dance floor and stage. This turned out to be a great location to catch DJ Jazzy Jeff’s set, which was SICK. Of course, he had to play the Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song to get the crowd going.
We paid for tip upfront for the vodka. We were also given the option of getting additional bottles of champagne for $ 50 each. I was surprised at how great the music was at Rain. Perhaps it was because DJ Jazzy Jeff was dj-​ing.
There were hot dancers dressed in close to nothing dancing on these pedestals around the dance floor.
The only sketch thing was when I almost got bulldozed by this HUGE bouncer guy because some chick passed out and was lifeless in a wheelchair with a trash bag in her lap. Hope she was alright, but she didn’t look too good.
I was surprised about how this went, and I actually would consider going back to Rain the next time I visit the City of Sin.

Music:
With the rise of House music, the number of clubs that spin Hip-​Hop is dwindling. Or they do spin Hip Hop, but only for a minor portion of the night. As much as I love House, (I can’t believe I’m saying this), it’s refreshing to go to a club with hip-​hop. It might’ve been a unique night since Ludacris was performing.
Crowd:
A large portion of the crowd was African-​American. Felt like a token in that crowd, but still fun nonetheless.

Came here for a private event that was closed out to the public and there was OPEN BAR ALL NIGHT!
one tequila, two tequila, three tequila… FLOOORRRRR.

Oh Rain how I wish you’d go away, and not the rain falling from the sky.
Ive been to Rain Nightclub a number of times (by number I mean more then I can remember), and while I have had some GREAT experiences, in recent times not so much. Ive written a permanent mental note to myself that I have outgrown the allure of Rain.
Coming to Rain for the first time is an experience every Vegas newbie should endure. What could be better? You are in a very hip hotel and a trendy nightclub. There are beautiful girls, handsome men, fire and go-​go dancers. Nothing is better at that moment. Fast forward 10 years and you realize the music is horrible. Ladies and Gents that is where I am at.
I love all types of music and artists. From Rap to Hip-​Hop, Classical, Jazz, Electronic… But Techno just isn’t for me. After 3 songs I feel like Ive been time warped into a futuristic torture chamber. And I look around and I’m the only person in agreeance… everyone else us having the time of their lives. I went once and Deadmau5 was the DJ. I prefer Kaskade, sorry. It wasn’t my type of music and i was forced to drink more… well until I ordered my patron on the rocks (yes i drink patron on the rocks). High drink prices are to be expected, its Vegas. But I need to be having a good time while I’m spending my gas money and I wasn’t so I left.
The next time I decided to give Rain the old college try was because DJ Jazzy Jeff was on the wheels of steel. Yes, the same DJ Jazzy Jeff from the Fresh Prince of Bel Air. Only he was playing Deadmau5. OMG what is going on? That was the last and final time I will ever visit Rain…
BUT for those of you who like Techno Id advise you to get the Palms Club Pass. It expedites your entry into the clubs and gives you the option to leave and keep the party going in many venues.
ALSO I’m 5’10″ without shoes so imagine me in heels. And that fire comes really low. Ladies beware…

Holy clusterfuck. The lines were confusing getting in and long, even for will call. They have a weird situation where people coming out of willcall gets out right where the exit is and where they separate into a ID line so it was a bit confusing. It seems from other reviews this is what happens when someone really big is here so if you want to see their whole set, COME EARLY. I missed a good 20 minutes of a 90 set because of it and I was a bit miffed since I came 40 minutes early thinking it would be enough time.
Inside was rather crowded in a way that a bit much. I came to see Bassnectar who doesn’t play in clubs and it was so packed there was no escaping feeling a body to all sides of me and I nearly had my earring ripped off, my face burned by a stupid guy waving his cig like a dickhead. A few of the bouncers were actually really nice and a few just seemed irritated so it’s a mixed bag.
I have to preface that I used to be a big clubber and never have I been packed in like it is in Vegas so I kinda don’t know how to feel about venues here in general. I don’t like the sardine can feel so if Bassnectar were to come here again and do this venue, I think I’m driving to LA and having a great long weekend to see him comfortably.

I got in here after getting the $ 60 wristband to go to all the clubs inside the hotel, and it’s totally worth it since you have NO lines and NO cover. Pshh. f’ waiting in line! To get to rain you have to go through the playboy club which was whatevs, we spent maybe 10 minutes in there because it’s mostly like a lounge. When we went upstairs, the place was packed! The dance floor was pretty big and despite the bad reviews that other people put up, I had a fantastic time. I mean, the venue doesn’t matter as long as the company does, right? I didn’t deal with buying liquor there since I smuggled in within my boobies a redbullvodka and another flask in my boot, so I was good on drinks but I had an awesome time.
I definitely recommend getting the wristband so you don’t have to deal with the clusterfuck of a line they had outside the club. With the band, you can go right on through with no bullshit, no line and no cover for several of the clubs the palms has to offer.

Rain’s poppin’. Even though they have awesome attractions coming in, all these people ever do is stand around and not do much. Over priced drinks, but you shouldn’t be drinking in there to begin with. Dancing is nice here because there’s a lot of room and you’re not always shoulder to shoulder. Multi-​level is cool but you’ll get rained on with other peoples drinks.
I’m not sure if Rain is part of industry night but it’s a good stop if you’re hopping around inside the Palms!

HAD A BLAST HERE! Maybe because I love house music and hard trance, but also because Rain salvaged a somewhat uneventful night @ Moon.
We actually got a table and bottle service at Moon, but ended up leaving Moon around 1am because it was chockful of dudes. We made our way over to Rain, and got in right away. And right away I was impressed. The club is HUGE and had some fire spitting display that also «snow flaked» later on during the night.
We went to Clash Fridays, so the music was on point. Go-​go dancers were giving away tons of glowsticks. You will definitley have fun here if you like trance/​techno/​house otherwise. avoid it.because it’s definitley fist pump central and that is not everybody’s scene.

You should not be called Rain, you should be called Fire! Why is this club the hottest club I’ve ever been to? You know there’s going to be a ton of people here, why not crank the air a little. And please stop flaming up the place!
Oh the irony, rain… pfftt!
Come here if you like house music and sweating your clothes off.

Went here for Love Fest 2011 to see Paul van Dyk (my favorite!) and DJ Reza. Sound system was ON POINT the entire time and the club is HUGE. 3 stories, lots of room to walk/​dance around. I was able to see PvD in the front row without being pushed, stepped on or used as a human washcloth for people’s sweat. There was outdoor seating by the pool, which can provide some solace if the club gets too hot. I don’t know how the drinks are here because, well, I only bought water ;) hehe. They were priced at $ 5 per bottle.
Only complaint was that the line to enter wasn’t moving after the event started (10pm) and then once people were allowed in, it was a clusterf*ck of bros, shrieking annoying girls and douches dressed in suits clamoring their way into the entrance.
Overall, this is one of the best clubs I’ve been to — it definitely compares to some of the clubs in New York, Hollywood and Miami that I’ve attended.

Was in town with 2 female coworkers and we decided to check out this club. Since it was a last minute thing, and we weren’t on any guestlist, we stood in line and waited forever. Luckily, we met some guys that were «VIP» and walked us right in. Woohoo…
Loved the layout of the club. Especially the fire and fountain by the circular dancefloor.
My 2 coworkers seem a little bored at the club, because it wasn’t really playing their type of music, but I was super delighted because I am a TRANCE girl. But boy… it’s hard to dance to the music when you are trying to bounce to the beat in a tiny little skirt and 3 inch high heels. Hahah…
Yup, I had a GREAT TIME at RAIN.

Music was awesome. We saw DJ Jazzy Jeff with a live rapper (on Redbull Radio) got to sit in the VIP area and stayed for a few good hours. The crowd was fun, not too packed, a ton of people danced so that is what mattered most.
Would definitely get my groove on there next time.
