Studio 54

you will be missed
Good venue, great atmosphere… studio 54 will still live on!

Some of you may be thinking, Studio 54 is for old people… think what you want… but I’m a fan… I’ll favor this place over Tao anyday…
There was a club promoter hanging out at the front of the hotel lobby, so me and my girl cousins got in for free, and I think the guy cousins and bro got in for 20 bux I think…
DJ was super awesome — definately knows what to spin and to keep the party goin’…
go-​go girls are super cute… the bro picked up a dollar bill that slipped out of one of the dancer’s shorts… lol…the bill was soiled with sweat I’m sure… but hey, the bro kept it as a souvenir haha…
Overall, people young and old in this place, but good vibes all around… loved it…

Convient for those staying at the MGM considering all you have to do is walk up stairs, but was a decent club. The second floor was shut when I was there, but there was a nice dance floor to bust a move lol.
I def recommend trying to find one of the club promoters during the day that way you can get your self on a list and can try to avoid a cover.

I love the ambience, and I wished they didn’t close the upstairs, I like to venture. The DJ was pretty good, and the dance floor was small though. Nothing special about this club except it’s a club. Look for club employees walking around throughout the day, they will offer you a free drink voucher and a no cover charge bracelet.

DOUCHEBAG CENTRAL!
It was like a freakin’ sausagefest when we walked in. The guys were grabby & disgusting. The DJ was awesome & all we wanted to do was dance but every second, I KID YOU NOT, every second a guy would try & grind up on me.
. &&&& they couldn’t take a hint.
This club was soooo trashed. It could be because there was a UFC fight that weekend & it was at MGM so the douches could just migrate from the arena to Studio 54 which isn’t too far.
You could tell these guys were sooooo trashed. ugh.
We left after an hour. We wanted to dance but guys being all grabby was not making that easy.

Two levels, wristband discounts, ok dance floor…
COVER
Came here once because my friend was dj’ing and the other couple times we got wristbands from promoters around the hotel. These wristbands gave us free cover and FREE vodka drinks from 9−11pm on thursday and friday. I think times and days vary. Guys I heard were able to get in for 10 bucks, which is awesome for Vegas. So keep an eye out for these promoters wandering around.
VENUE
Two story, medium sized club in the MGM. Nothing over the top shwanky, but does the job. The layout is open with the dance floor in the middle. Couple bars on the first level and another one on the second level. There’s also a few tables and chairs on the second level. Wish there was more free seating though, most of the seating seemed to be mainly for VIP.
BEATS
Music was awesome when my friend (DJ ICY ICE holla!) was spinning hip hop and old school. Some of the other Dj’s had this weird mix of house and 80’s going on. I like 80’s but the mix was meh. One night they had trapeze girls climbing the walls, which was cool. Another night they had go go dancers on stage, which made it clear you don’t need to be a great dancer to work here.
I think this is a decent club to hit up if you’re near. Especially with the free drink promotion!!! But I probably wouldn’t venture all the way down here if i was say coming from the Wynn part of the strip.

We came here on a Tuesday night, it definitely was not what I expected.
PROS:
–Front of the line entrance, no cover charge for the ladies before a certain hour… I think 10 or 11pm (just look for a promoter handing out free wristbands)
–Free vodka drinks for the ladies during certain hours (with your wristband)
–Discounted cover-​charge for the gentlemen ($ 10), just ask the club promoter and he will give you a discount ticket to show at the door.
CONS:
–Music is mostly unknown 70’s/80’s music, not really our music style.
–No place to sit, unless you order bottle service!
–Small dance floor
VERDICT: Would not go back there again, unless it was free entry and they played better music.

We were staying at the MGM. On our way out to the taxi line, we were approached by a promoter who gave me a free pass to get in for $ 10. We accepted the passes, because we thought it might be a great place to party for the last few hours of the evening before we went to bed upstairs.
We arrived back at studio 54 at 1:30am. The security had a twist in their panties and had crappy attitudes. Come on guys, nobody is in line and it’s a Thursday night. Get over yourselves.
We head up to the front to pay cover for my date. I peeked around the corner inside the club, which looked fairly empty. Security then told us, that my free pass, and his discounted pass were not valid after 10pm. First off, it would have been really great if the promoter would have told us that off the bat. Second, who wants to go to a club in Vegas on a Thursday night before 10pm?
When we tried walk away from the desk, the snotty cashier squealed I was going the wrong way. Whatever lady.
Pass on Studio 54 for Thursdays. Head to moon instead.

Studio 54 is in the MGM Grand where my wife and I were staying. One night as we were walking through the hotel, my wife dressed nicely for an evening on the town, she was stopped by a promoter who told her she should go in and check it out and gave us some passes. We hadn’t planned on going there, but she had never been to a club like that before and wanted to see what it was like. So away we went. As she approached the ropes the doorman lets her in, but bars my way telling me I can’t come in because I’m wearing shorts. It’s Vegas in July; of course this Northern Illinois boy is wearing shorts! So we stepped out of line, I went upstairs and changed into jeans (I’m still not sure WHY I had jeans with me, but I did.). We go back and this time he reluctantly lets me in…
We get inside, it’s a small club, it was fairly busy and there were hardly any seating areas on the main floor. We ordered drinks at the bar that where greatly overpriced even for Vegas. After moving around a little, I could see my wife was enjoying herself so I decided that if we were going to stay, we were getting bottle service. Talked to a host who set me up quickly and took me to their VIP section… yay someplace to sit! I will tell you, if you are planning to spend any serious time here or are with a large group, check out the bottle service… yes it’s still expensive, but cheaper than by the drink! They include gratuity when you do bottle service and if I recall correctly at the time I was there the cheapest bottle on the menu was around $ 280.00.
My wife had a great time, she likes dancing… Me? Hell no… Me dancing is like a seizure while holding a straight razor… someone is getting hurt. I enjoyed watching however. They had Go-​Go dancers on pillars that had some decent moves and looked cute. The crowd was a mix the night we were there, some older (like us) some younger.
I’ve been to better clubs in Chicago when I was in College, but as this was my wife’s first experience in a club scene, we did enjoy it. I doubt we’ll ever go back though and I’m glad we didn’t have to pay an admission fee.

Come to Studio 54 if you’re 40+ or like people who are 40+.
Small, cramped and devoid of any attractive people. And let me remind you, I’m drunk and it’s dark, yet, my opinion still stands.

Awful, yes I said it Awful. I mean this is Vegas and I wanted to go out to clubs at least one or two nights but getting here at 11PM was the worst crowd I have ever seen anywhere. Only thing cool was seeing the old school pictures on the wall of the real STUDIO 54. This was a very old, old crowd here and no they were not part of my group. I think this was a worse experience than getting inside a club being 13 years old and partying with my parents. I guess on a saturday it is a little better because they open up more floors and stuff. I saw only maybe two old MILFS that could get it for the one hour that I was here, thank goodness I did not get here earlier at 10 PM…
Music here was pretty awful too. Mostly Top 40, but not anything particularly good. Anything they played sounded worse when seeing the crowd again i state.
Go-​go dancers were cool, but there was only really one bad chick that caught everyone’s attention. Entrance fee was $ 20 down the drain and I needed a drink because it was so bad, $ 10 more wasted on a vodka soda with Smirnoff (I hate Smirnoff).

I like being hooked up with free passes to clubs like this. Honestly, I don’t know much it is normally, but they usually have discounts from random people from the streets or the concierge… etc.
This place is pretty big. Two stories, with the main floor downstairs and the live dj station behind the dance floor. Couple of bars, one near the entrance and the other in the second floor.
Music is awesome, dj’s are awesome. They have random flying stringed ladies going up and down the poles. They have go-​go dancers too or whatever they’re called.
It’s pretty much standing room only since either people come in super early to get a table or the tables are reserved. But it doesn’t matter since you’re pretty much having a good time anyway.
This place is a pretty popular club; as the lines were super long. If you’re in the guest list, then go to the far right and you’ll pretty much bypass the queue. Studio 54 is located in the heart of the casino area in the MGM Grand hotel.

I won’t lie… my friends and I ended up here on our first night in town because we were offered free drinks for ladies and half off admission for men. Worked out for us :)
The DJ was great! I love to dance and this place definitely gave me the beats to do that.
I would recommend drinking before hand or stocking up on the free beverages at Studio 54 before the special ends. I know it’s Las Vegas, but never again will I pay $ 30 for 2 vodka red bulls (singles not doubles and that was without tip). JEEZE.
The place is big and has multiple bars.

This was exactly what a friend and I were looking for one night when we JUST. WANTED. TO. DANCE.
The admission was cheap! $ 10! The line was nonexistent! The drinks were a little pricey, but we didn’t come to drink, we came to dance.
A lot of a dance club’s desirability is the DJ and the crowd and we happened to win on both levels. The DJ was fantastic! (That said, if anyone knows who the DJ was March 8^th, do tell!!) The crowd wasn’t too bad; there were just enough people there and dancing to create a good time and comfortable atmosphere, but it wasn’t wall to wall people. The people we happened to run into weren’t obnoxious and didn’t treat us poorly – really a great friendly crowd.
I know that whenever I return to Vegas, be it sooner or later, I’ll be putting Studio 54 in my schedule for sure.

I prefer Studio 54 over Pure, Tao, XS, etc, for a few reasons…
1) Lines are usually shorter.
2) Atmosphere feels less douchey.
3) People are less douchey. This means a slightly older crowd, but I don’t mind.
4) Less/​no riff-​raff. You won’t see your ghetto, class-​less douches here.
5) Room to dance. We can all be honest and Studio 54 doesn’t exactly have the «reputation» of XS as «THE club» to be at. Frankly, that’s fine with me. It means you won’t see the usual crowd. And that’s a very good thing in my book.
If you go to clubs to be a creepy weirdo who fails at hitting on every girl he talks to, then just gets stupidly trashed to make up for it, head over to one of the more prominent spots. If you want a legit spot to dance and maybe actually have a conversation with somebody, Studio 54 is your place.

I can pretty much have a good time dancing anywhere so the Studio is cool. Upstairs is less packed if you want to dance and not feel like you are in the 45-​minute, high intensity cardio class.
I don’t go for the people so I can careless who’s in there.
The dj does cut into grooving songs way to early but, eh, I’m still moving.

I will only go there if I have no place else to go or I don’t want to stay in a long line at other place. Music is good and that is all.
*Not Recommended

I always have a fun time at Studio 54 which is probably why I end up there at least once per visit to Vegas. Which means I’ve been there a LOT.
First thing — get dressed to impress. For guys this means you have to look sharp. For girls this means you can wear anything — dresses or slutty tops with jeans or probably next to nothing and you’ll be fine.
Next — look for the guys in the casino giving out wristbands so you can go in the VIP line and not have to pay. I suspect you may have to be a hot chick to get this, so if you aren’t you should expect to wait in line and pay $$ to get in.
Stop at Centrifuge bar across from Studio 54 to pregame drink a bit.
Now go in Studio 54 and get a pricey yet pretty strong for your money drink. Repeat x 100.
Now hit the dance floor! I like how they play retro 70s/​80s tunes at the start of the night, then move into recent music and hip hop after that, then move into more techno later on. I don’t like techno but at least you don’t get it ALL NIGHT LONG. I also am not a fan of the teaser 1 verse of a song and switch but I know others have ADD and do like it. They do continue playing songs that are really good jams or the ones that get the dance floor hopping so at least there’s that. Also check out the go-​go dancers. They are hot, they are scantily clad, some of them can dance pretty well too. Emulate them and you are golden.
Go back to bar and get more drinks x 100. Consider making out with dudes/​chicks as your orientation leads you.
Get into the VIP area upstairs if you can because it is pretty nice. Last time I was up there they had nice seating, including a chaise lounge, and it overlooks the dance floor so you can see what all the lesser people are doing. Feel smug, look down nose at them.
Stumble out of club when they close it down (I have actually been there for a club to close in Vegas. I was surprised that they even close at all!!). Keep drinking at the casino, go home with that hottie you met, or go pass out. It is all up to you — it is Vegas!

Not nearly as popular as it once was. but a good time.
It is strictly a dance club. no roof top views, no waterfalls, no inside casino. just a couple bars, a Dj and a dance floor.
BTW– the DJ is great. a great blend of 80’s rock and the modern day jams had the place dancing all night.

Dire. Truly dire. My friend and I came here after getting fed up with the music being played at Tabu. Was not pleased that they play exactly the same tracks (in the same order sometimes) here at Studio 54!
So, we queued for the prerequisite period so as to preserve the illusion that this place was in some way good/​exclusive and entered.
Podium dancers. Check.
Lifeless atmosphere despite drunken people and loud music. Check.
Hordes of lobotomised males, avidly stalking womenfolk of childbearing age. Check.
It really was terrible. Even alcohol did not help. The place simply put the brakes on the momentum of my night.
A curious little habit that the DJs seem to have here, as well as Tabu and Wet Republic, is playing around a minute or 30 seconds of a song and then clumsily mixing into then next track. Is the attention span of my generation really that short? Are we useless without commercial breaks?
As I last ditch attempt to find a shred of vibe or atmosphere, I fought my way to the very middle of the packed dance floor. The strange thing was — very few people were dancing. There were a few pockets of dancing girls who were ring-​fenced by guys who, rather than dance or talk to their friends, were just looking like sinister cavemen, wanting to drag a woman back to their air-​conditioned MGM cave.
I have had some great nights in places that seem to be the crappiest dives in the world, however Studio 54 had no redeeming features. At least I did not have to pay for entry. If I did, I would really have to question what done to upset karma.
