Christian Audigier The Nightclub

Am I surprised they’re closed? No.
Does it make me a little sad? Yes.
They gave us free table service…
…but their go-​go dancers had cellulite.
There’s a great view of the TI pirate show on the balcony…
…but the club is ridiculously empty.
I met some really interesting people…
…but they were crazy. Really crazy.
The memories were probably better than the reality. Especially after an entire bottle of vodka split between 5 people.

I’ve been to many a club and this one ranks at the very bottom. I can’t even put into words how much I dislike this place. And it’s not from one single experience, I’ve tried this club 3 times! why???
pros:
1. It was located in my hotel
2. It was free
3. Did I mention it was located in my hotel?
cons:
1. Tiny
2. DJ sucked
3. empty (where’s the promoter when you need him?)
4. Drinks were watered down. I understand they’re expensive, it is Vegas.
5. Ed Hardy
I guess this just isn’t the place for me. I’m into the big crowds and this isn’t the place you’ll find em.

Well we got free passes since we stayed at the Treasure Island… and when we got there it was still super empty… and they were playing trance music that kinda just made me take a good nap…
they had free drinks that night «Lemon Drops» more like lemonade and water… it was hard to tell if this club was going to get any better, and we didnt want to risk it so we left and were planning to come back latr since they had «in and outs»…but we never made it back… HmMmM wonder if it got better…
the patio did have a beautiful view of the strip and the little «lake» very nice club.

If you come here hang outside away from the bar, there are plenty of waitress’ and on Saturdays the DJ, DJ Reaction spins, and he is FRICKEN GREAT.
A really cool feel and the design flows well from entrance to end. But be kind to the bouncers here cause I saw them get slapped a when I was there by a lady who was shouting «MY SON IS A MARINE! HE’S FIGHTING FOR YOUR FREEDOM!» as her husband drug her away screaming through the casino… after that these guys were super cool.
Enjoy.

I had my reservations about this place. Not just because Christian’s last name is so darn hard to pronounce… but was I going to see guidos and guidettes in fugly skulls and roses gear fist pumping their way into this club? Because if I was, I’d be out of there faster than you can say Ed Hardy.
Surprisingly enough, that wasn’t the case. TI – you wouldn’t expect much well, because it’s at TI. But it was an overall enjoyable experience. Small venue, definitely not like the other big commecialized clubs on the Strip but I think it’s worth the visit – at least for a Sunday night.
The hosts and bouncers were actually quite friendly (that’s rare in these parts). The music was excellent (DJ Cassanova you certainly can do your thing). The table service seem nice (and from what I’ve heard pretty decently priced – call Angelo, he’ll set you up! :) and the outdoor patio, although small-​er has a great view of the Strip.
All in all, worth a visit and definitely not what you will expect.

I went to Vegas for a friends bachelor party last weekend and stayed at Treasure Island (TI), where the club is located. The club itself is somewhat small but very well-​kept. I like that it is half inside and half outside. The bartenders were very friendly and it wasn’t hard to get a drink. I actually went back the next night for a little bit and they both remembered me.
If you are staying at the hotel and get there before midnight, cover is free. Don’t be a second late past midnight though, because even if you are staying at the hotel, they will charge you $ 40 cover. It was seriously 12:02am and they wouldn’t let us in without paying. It’s Vegas though, and it would have been $ 40 anywhere else, right? So, if you don’t feel like hitting up the huge mega-​clubs and feel like keeping it smaller but still having a really, really good time, then try Cristian Audigier.

It was funny seeing all the boys in their Ed Hardy shirts.
A bit older crowd. Scene not as poppin. Typical hip hop. Small dance floor. Overlooks the Treasure Island lagoon so that was kind of nice. Open bar until 1am. Another pre-​party spot. =]

So we were stayin at TI, so where else do u start bachelor nite II? haha. Fo shure were expecting a lot of douchery in the form of Ed Hardy and Affliction shirts. But we were pleasantly suprised.
After havin a good run on the black jack tables, we started the nite out here. The music was poppin, drinks were suprisingly cheap, and the peeps were cool. Bachelor was hit on by all the ladies 2. ahah.
I even got to sneak in the VIP section and hung out wid all the special peeps! haha. I liked it cuz 1) It was free!, 2) Quite spacious (loved the outside where u can chill wid a view of the strip, 3) Music was actually chill and good.
Again. A great place to start the nite off on the way to somewhere else… Would of gave this place 5stars but the pregnant bartender was a buzz kill. haha.

It may not considered to be one of the main clubs in Vegas, but since they pass out free entrance tickets for guys and girls and since they don’t act like they are the shit, I give this place 3 stars.
We went in, bought a few drinks and got drunk before we headed over to XS. I think this place used to be called Tangerine. I honestly don’t have much to say about this place, but it wasn’t that bad and we had fun in there :) If you want a laid back club without worry about cover charge or long line, check out Christian Audigier. It’s not so bad~

It was a friday night and the place was less then packed! only reason we checked it out was passes with free champagne all night, and boy was it ALL NIGHT! we got invited to vip and that was cool, but all in all more of an older aged vibe (im 24, most of the peeps looked more early 30’s) music was okay, not many dancers.
POINT IS i probably wont go back… at least not til i turn 30 lol

Guys in Ed Hardy shirts — check (although less than one would expect at a nightclub named after the Ed Hardy designer)
Weird sunken bar that makes it a tad awkward to order drinks — check
No line and no cover on a Saturday night — check (TI guests — even guys — get in for free)
Good music all night long — check
Plenty of space to dance due to a moderate sized crowd — check
Patio with a nice view of the Strip — check
I wanted to hate this nightclub. I went in expecting it to be douched out to the hundredth degree and it wasn’t. Even the clientele was less douche-​tastic than I thought. In fact, there is very little about this club that makes it memorable or worth the time to go out of your way to check it out. Go if you are staying at TI. If you aren’t, there are better clubs on the Strip.

Hold up, Christian Audigier ??
Isn’t that the Ed Hardy stuff?
He has his own nightclub in Vegas?
Will have crazy douchbag designs all over the place?
Will it be filled with gaudy décor?
Will this place be filled with douchbags wearing Ed Hardy gear? You know the shirts and hats and shoes?
I’m glad to report that this place isn’t as douchbagery as I thought it would be.
Yes, Christian Audigier is the designer for Ed Hardy and he does has his own nightclub inside Treasure Island (it use to be Tangerine). So I did a short wikipedia of Christian Audigier out of curiousity and found out that he was the one responsible for Von Dutch and Ed Hardy and he is from France. Which I’m not a big fan of either… but obviously people love his shit.
No, the club was not gaudy (it was actually super dark) and filled with «Ed Hardy» design stuff. And no one was sporting the «Ed Hardy» gear… I was shocked. I thought that the bouncer and security should wear his gear as a uniform or something.
What I liked:
— definitely the DJ here took the cake for me, they were so good. I loved it and I danced the night away till it closed.
— drinks were cheap compared to vegas clubs.
— we got in for free. and I was able to wear my converse inside! My feet were aching so I had to change shoes. Awesome! comfortable shoes make for awesome dance moves!
— It wasn’t so crowded by the time we arrived and so we had more room to dance.
What I did not like:
— no coat check and the security wouldn’t let us leave our jackets anywhere.
— It’s affiliated with Christian Audigier = Ed Hardy
I’d come back if it was free… and if I can wear comfortable shoes.

Went here on a Sunday night cause some short Viet promoter chick gave us free passes. Heard this place used to be called Tangerine. Was literally in here for only like 15 – 20 minutes or like 3 – 4 songs or something like that. Got in for free in like 2 minutes since there was no line at all. Mexican bouncer called me and my friend gangsters from San Jose and Garlic Town cause he was from the bay too. Har har har… Funny guy, but yeah.
They had the Filipino DJs over here, so it was all ass bumpin hip-​hop music getting bumped over here. Too bad the place was small and the crowd wasn’t as crackin. Liked the music, not the venue or the crowd on a Sunday night. I’m sure it’s better on a Friday or Saturday night, but I’d probably rather spend a Friday or Saturday night in Vegas elsewhere like XS. But good bump-​n-​grind hip-​hop music over here if you’re looking to party somewhere small and not as big in Vegas.
Minus 2 stars for the Ed Farty gear! Esta no bueno!!!

Why does this man have a club in Vegas!?!
This club is small, with one dancefloor and a small patio in the back. Drinks are standard, but they couldn’t make our scooby snacks cuz they had no whipped cream… The guys are less scandalous than the guys you’d find in Tao, but some of them were definitely more creepy. I was busy rejecting this one guy when he told me that he liked being rejected by me. That’s when I took it as my cue to run to my guy friend and and beg, «save me, save me, save me…»

AHH! Probably my favorite club in Las Vegas! My cousins and I were feelin the music here! Great music with some reggae, old school and current hiphop songs. We came here on a Sunday night so it wasn’t that packed. The patio was small with some VIP tables.
We were able to get a VIP spot on one of the couches since it was empty and off to the sides. Right next to the AC too oh yeah! There were some bad dancers in the house that night but it was entertaining to watch.
the plus of the night: We danced with Supercr3w! They won second season of America’s Best Dance Crew. Well there were only two members that were there that night. So okay fine, we just danced with Jon «Do-​Knock» Cruz. Ronnie Boy was there with his girlfriend so he was chillin with her. Do-​Knock was the nicest guy ever! As soon as we threw up the S signs, he came to us and said hi, took a few pictures and even danced in our circle! However, the club roped off their VIP section so we had to go find a different spot. But Do Knock felt bad and found us and danced with us again! He apologize for being us being asked to move and even tried to convince the security not to move us! Great guy!

This place is sad. Like seriously, really sad. We came to this club after we checked in Friday night. I knew this club wasn’t all that great, and we were tired, so I suggested we come here to have a chill and relaxing night.
First of all, the guy checking our IDs was being a total d! ckweed. He was giving my friend the third degree, asking tons of questions like when she graduated high school or what sign (Zodiac) she is. Are you kidding me? I was getting so irritated with this douche. As I was telling her that we should go to another club because this club is NOT worth this, he let her in.
Since when is it okay to wear flip flops to a club? That is so not cool. We literally went in, ordered a round of drinks, and left. There were a bunch of girls in casual wear (flip flops and jeans). To no surprise, all the staff were wearing Christina Audigier shirts. The bartender was nice, but it didn’t make up for this less than nice club.
The club is super small, with VIP seating outlining the entire club. The VIP seating probably takes up more than half the club. The last time I came here, I sat in the corner table in the VIP area and I had the absolute joy of watching girls (butterfaces in ugly flat shoes) dancing on the poles. ICK!
I’ve learned my lesson. Never will I be coming back here to party. If you have to pay to get in, I suggest you move on to a five star club.

I loved this place! Both nights we went they had 5 dollar drinks, which was such a relief after the $ 14 cocktails at so many other bars.
The music was nothing special, but the club was cool. I liked the different areas to dance, but the best part was the patio. Even though the tables outside were only for bottle service, the rest of the patio was open. It was so beautiful outside, that standing there on the «lake» with the amazing view felt so great. What a cool set up.
I would definitely come back here.

MY FOURHUNDREDTH REVIEW… and I am in Las Vegas again.
I slip on drinks. I make fun of how tacky Ed Hardy clothes and the people who buy them are. I think about how cute my dress is and how it cost less than fifty dollars. Nu Shooz I Can’t Wait comes on and that song always reminds me of Chas for a second I get sentimental but my attention span is short. I used to love to watch Mystery Science Theatre 3000 as a kid but in a way it was boring. Kriss Kross comes on and I sing and dance along.
Cause I’m the miggida miggida miggida Mac Daddy

Belee dat!
I drink what is probably the 7^th vodka drink I’ve had over the course of that nite, take that back, I inhale my 7^th drink. To free up my left hand since the other one is holding my purse. I pose for a photo with a girl who served us drinks at Kahunaville (my favorite place to people watch) last I saw her she was wearing a plastic coconut bra and was slanging leis. Now she is dressed up, reinvented as a typical Vegas girl, long flowing fake hair, shiny lips. I drink number 8 cranberry and vodka one third of it lands on the floor below. I wipe my hand off and look to the left. I see a pirate ship.
We go inside because the techno on the patio is killing my vibe. Still clutching drink 8 I dance to Lollipop, great song btw. Love Lil Wayne. The dance floor is fairly empty compared to the Tangerine days when you had to stand awkwardly just to wedge yourself into a tiny spot while watching the bottle service tools basking in their space and giant top shelf bottles. A guy bumps me and I push him. Looking back I am glad he didn’t get mad and start an argument. There is no way that would have ended well.
This is our French friend’s first time to the United States and true to Euro form he is bouncing up and down all night long upstaging the stamina of even the most seasoned skull-​t shirt wearing Las Vegas coke heads. I slip again on my way to the restroom. I am beyond looking at myself in the mirror and beyond lip gloss reapplication.
It’s 3:30 the French is still bouncing, I can no longer dance, at least my mind is off the fact that my feet are killing me. We go to bed and I think to myself, what did i have for dinner that was so red and oily?

The place is small, people. If it weren’t for that patio, it would be tiny.
We came here about a week after it opened for some Sunday night industry party. I had never been to Tangerine before, so I didn’t realize how small it was going to be! I wouldn’t put this in my top 5 favorite Vegas clubs… it’s just too small to be exciting. The decorations are ok… you know… everything is all Ed Hardy and shit.
But what really threw me off was the midnight T.I. pirate show. Here we were, partying our asses off on the large patio at my friend’s table… doing shots and dancing to the thumping music. And then, out of nowhere, the music stops, and the f’ing pirate show begins! For ten minutes, there was no music, and we had to watch this awkward pirate show going on in the water about 20 ft away from the club’s outdoor patio. It was soooo random and awkward– totally killed the vibe as well as our buzz. And, the pirate show got all freaky when the pirate orgy began… yea…totally weird man. Funny, but at the same time annoying, especially because the show drew about 500 tourists standing around on the street and bridge staring at all of us clubgoers until the show began, so we had these poor young children staring us down as I downed shot after shot and acted a fool…
But anyways… the size of the club and the pirate show kind of killed it for me. I’ll probably be back, but there’s no way I’d ever pay cover or wait to get in this place.

This place was alright…
I wasn’t blown away by the scene; It seriously looked like TANGERINE, but with nice pictures of Christian Audigier’s work on the walls. I was seriously surprised that the place was not as crowded or poppin because it’s such a new club! I like how there’s a huge outside area where you can get some air and see Las Vegas Blvd. (since it’s right across from the Pirate Ship at TI). The VIP areas were alright too…
The music was basically Top 40, Hip-​Hop, and R& B on the dance floor and Trance/​House music outside. The dance floor could be bigger…
Ladies…I don’t know if it was just last night, but there were no cute guys here!
One thing I noticed about the club was that shots were given in plastic cups and not shot glasses! The bartender just put a lime slice into the shot of patron like a lemon wedge in tap water at restaurants! Ehhh… The workers all wear Christian Audigier shirts too, so it’s kind of cool to see the fashion in its employees…
Quite honestly, I would not try to go back here for a clubbing night… maybe only if I want tons of space to dance…
