This is my honest and humble review and I dont have anything against anyone, i also dont work for any company or any entity what so ever. **** I have been going to Park for the past 3- 4 years now and things were a lot different back then. If i were to count how much money i have spent there, it would be close to $9000 - $10,000 combined. I have been going there almost every other Friday/Saturday and just like in the past up till yesterday ive spent about $100-$120 on drinks and tips per night. For the past few weeks me and my friends have been waiting in the guest list line much longer than usual, and if you have been to the park recently then you would agree with me. Heres what I realized yesterday. We were waiting for about 2 hours in the guest list and me and my friends were the first few people in the guest list line followed by other 20 people.we were the first hour,. All I could see is a crowd of people coming in and they were getting the OK to go in the club. So i walk up to this GUY and ask him that we have been waiting in the guest list for an hour, he says were gonna get to you soon. Im like OK. After another 30 mins we were still waiting and he started to let smaller groups of people in. I walked up again to him, he said sorry I cant do anything go back to the line, Im like ok. Eventually, I noticed that the SMALLER GROUPS of people were paying him to get in. After 2 hours, im still the first person in the guest list line (I got there at 10pm and now its 11:45pm) I go to this guy and tell him that its just me and my friend here today and were have been waiting for 2 hours and we are first in line. ** ** HE SAYS, ITS GOING TO BE $20 EACH TO GET IN *** Now this $20 IS THE MONEY HE POCKETS **** AND LATER ALL THE OTHER BOUNCER AND SECURITY GUYS SPLIT. ** ** I just stood there and looked at him, MONEY was not a issue here at all, I had $20 to give him and get in. But you are letting RANDOM people and groups of people in by making your OWN POCKET MONEY...WHILE PEOPLE WHO SIGNED UP ON THE GUEST LIST ARE WAITING FOR 2 HOURS ?????? .... At least be FAIR and just walk up to the GUEST LIST line and ask " DOES ANYONE HAVE $20, I"LL LET"EM IN RIGHT NOW" ... SO... here is what im trying to get at ...when ever you go to The Park ... just go with a group of friends and instead of going to the guest list line just go directly to the security guy (usually the ball head dude) or theres this other one and tell him " I HAVE 4-5 PEOPLE IN MY GROUP AND WE WILL GIVE YOU $20 EACH " .. he will let you in for sure. IF its past 9:30 or 10pm on Saturday dont even bother with the guest list line, YOU WONT GET IN and i guarantee you that. Its been a sad experience for me because I see so many people being treated UNFAIRLY, just so security guys can make some POCKET MONEY... I have decided NOT TO BACK there again, I know JUST ME not going will not make much of a difference but I hope YOU reading this right now will have a decision to make. Other than all the security and bouncer bulls***t, the place is kool, once you get in. But after seeing all the unfair treatment and asking for money and all that, and waiting in line for hours. Yesterday we got in the club at 12:15 after paying the Security guy to get in and also paying the cover which is $10, even though I was the first person in the guest list line. All that was enough for me, IM NOT GOING BACK .. Ill start hitting up Social or District 30 maybe.

OK, i have been reading the reviews on this place and i feel the need to enlighten some clubbers because it is obvious you do not understand how the club scene works. Its OK, not your fault. I didnt understand either until i moved to Vegas and started working in the industry. There are options that you have. First and foremost... With the money that you spend per person to get in and then the amount of drinks you will purchase not to mention tips, it would behoove you to get bottle service. Special treatment, special table, not crowded not to mention lots of attention and play from the opposite sex because who doesnt want to be in the vip. With that being said it probably comes out the same price if not cheaper if your group splits the bill. Problem solved. No wait, no line. Other option. People do not understand the power of tipping. Thats because you dont work in that industry. If you had you wouldnt complain but you would have much more respect. Working in that industry, the pay sucks. Your tips are how you make your money. They count on those. The same way you count on your pay check. Instead of complaining about people walking past you and how long you are standing in line and how the bartender is serving everyone else but you... Get with the program. They are enjoying their drink inside the club while you still dont get it. Tip the man at the door. Dont be cheap. Call it an investment. I guarantee you if you tip nice , he will remember you. If its a club you frequent often, when ever he sees you and your group coming, trust me hes happy to let you in because its a win win situation. And then all the nobodys in line that use to be you will wish they were you. Same thing at the bar. You start out with a nice tip. Trust me she will make it a point to take care of you even before you ask. People always want to wait to see how the service is so they can tip according to what they feel the server deserves... You are not god. Its a power trip. Thats so backwards. Its the size of tip that will make your service worth it.. If you dont believe me... Try it. What do you have to lose... And after you have applied the tools that i have given you .........You are welcome!

This nightclub is probably the worst nightclub in term of service. Especially the general manager Nick Monson(A really rude and an arrogant attitude, jackass to the max). My friend got a booth for 15/20 people outside the patio near the fire place. It was his 30th birthday, we were planning just chill, drink and head somewhere else after. All our friends are relatively nice and respectful. Everyone have a family and work, so it was a rare occasion. We got two bottles of Hennessey VSOP for $1000, they charged extra fees without listing it on the receipt. We ask the waitress why, she ignore us and walked off. So an hour has passed, the birthday boy decided to go to the bathroom so two of my buddies that was keeping watch behind him went into the bathroon to see if he was throwing up but he was just take a piss. Staff came in and ask them to leave because they accused them of smoking weed when they that is for sure untrue. They see the birthday boy peeing in the stall but still continue on making up another new accusation that they doing narcotic like cocaine. My friends tried to reason with them that their excuses are false, if it were true then they should call the police and my friends are consent to the search and if anything were found upon them then they will take full responsibility but instead the staffs changed the story that the birthday boy is throwing up. So what is truth? We ask to speak to the manager, the general came but wont listen to the story... he just angrily told us we got to leave. We asked for refund, the ignored us and walk away. NEVER felt so descriminated before. Were asian, black, arabian.
