We held our big evening event at XS at the uber-classy Encore, just a short walk down the Strip from the Palazzo. 
The restroom at XS is on par with the hotel and club itself; it’s over-the-top and tacky, for sure, but with a side of high-end allure. A yellow “RESTROOMS” sign glows between palm fronds, and leads you into a vestibule area with curved copper ceilings, and illuminated starbursts and leaves. Metal tubes bulge out of the walls, and cut-out lights indicate “MEN” and “WOMEN.” Inside, the restroom was decorated with endless black-and-white marble all over the floors, the sink counters and the walls inside each toilet stall. The stalls and stall doors themselves were constructed of this marbled, zebra-ish stuff that was really fantastic, but clashed with the more organic grain of the marble. Round mirrors with softly glowing frames hung above the sinks, which were fully stocked with lotions, hairsprays, deodorants and more – I normally don’t care about this, but my hands were cracked from the dry, desert air, and I desperately needed lotion.
We’re all still talking about how awesome XS was, thanks to LA Riots, a fantastic DJ who kept us moving for hours. The catered menu was also quite tasty, including raw fish on little spoons, and scalloped potatoes that I topped with bacon and bleu cheese crumbles. I’m loath to admit it, because I hate Las Vegas so very much, but I had an incredible time at XS…and all of that late-night fun made me miss New York City a little bit.
