Krave Nightclub

Ok, I really hope they reopen and with the attitude they had when they were on Harmon Ave (part of Planet Hollywood building). I don’t brag on any bar, club or party spot. But, damn straight or gay this club had it all. The right staff, attitude and music. The dancers (guys or girls) were so cool and hot, lol. Ever since, they got with Caesar entertainments they suck.
Maybe, I should go work for them and bring it back to hot.lol.

I have been here twice, and this place is disappointing. It’s just not popping! I want to give it another try on a different night to see if it gets better. It’s a nice club, bigger venue than average gay clubs in Vegas, but I just haven’t had a great experience here. They need to spend some money in market research to find out how to bring in the crowds.

WORST.
I really tried to like it here, and was definitely excited to go to a LGBT friendly club… but seriously, this place was horrible. The DJ just kept playing different iterations of the same song (Animal) over and over and over again… for 2 whole hours. It was also pretty empty for a Sat night, and they charged me $ 5 for a soda right at 12:05 bc the free drinks was over… MEAN!

This place used to be cool when it was on Harmon. So taking that original faith that it would be great I went with a few friends. The club is located on the sketchiest part of the strip and upon arrival the staff was not very friendly. Those running the door had no smiles and seemed like they could care less who was coming to support their business. There was a cover, wherein every other gay club in Vegas does not have a cover. Inside the club there were a few people, but not as many as you would see at another club on a Saturday night. There was also this strange sewage smell coming from the bar area. As the night went on there were drinks spilled all over the floor and then one of the bouncers proceeded to tell my friend to move off the floor. Apparently he lacked the ability to speak with any kindness as he just stood there staring at my friend. He then proceeded to pull out a flashlight and point at the ground, again without saying anything. Finally he found the ability to speak and very rudely told him to move. After that we went to complain about his lack of professionalism. He had followed us to the front and told us ‘there’s the exit’. So we left. And we will never come back. Horrible staff. Horrible location. What a let down. I expected more from an actual gay club on the strip. Especially compared to all of the amazing and comfortable atmospheres they provide.

Music ok. Not what it used to be. Plus the dance floor is extremely sticky. Do they ever clean it? Feel like I am at a bathhouse. Cant move my feet.

Unable to find the place. Initially told it was only open on Mondays. Later learnt the location had changed. Finally, told by a taxi driver that they had shutdown.

Bland. I was so excited there was an LGBT club right there on the strip, and I remembered having a good time at the «old» Krave two and a half years ago (apparently it has changed locations since then), but what a letdown. I arrived on a Friday night, about 1:00 a.m., expecting a crowd, or expecting that the people who were there would at least be on the dance floor– wrong on both counts. There were less than 30 people dancing, and a few dozen more hanging at the bar or on the couches. I stayed for less than an hour.
The DJ was decent, playing typical house stuff, but nothing spectacular. Nothing that had me rushing to the dance floor. The décor was non-​existent, and parts of the club seemed to be in disrepair, or maybe still under renovation. I bought one cocktail for $ 13, again, typical for that type of venue, and actually cheaper than other most bars and lounges in Vegas. They didn’t charge me a cover, which was great. The security team and bartenders were pretty friendly and welcoming. The staff was honestly the best part of the experience. It’s a shame that the rest of the club didn’t measure up. I hear good things about Share, but honestly, it’s too far away, since I usually stay at New York New York, the MGM Grand, or the Excalibur. I hope Krave gets its act together soon and does something to bring the bodies in! Oh, also a lot of straight people there, or at least male/​female couples. I don’t hate on them, I love our allies and all, I was just perplexed by this, lol!

My friend’s 30^th– got on the «guest list «but still had to pay cover charge– late by 20 min. No one dancing except our group, even the gogo dancers were not into it. We were there on Saturday night around 1230. Asked one of the employees if it was always this dead– he blamed it on change over between krave and after. Totally not worth the $ 40 cover. Supposedly after doesn’t get busy until 4am.

Coole Location. Leider was zu groß, daher wirkte alles leicht verloren. Schade auch, dass ab xx: xxuhr der Club (sowie Personal etc.) von gay zu straight wechselt. Aber sonst super

Loved Krave when it was in Planet Hollywood… No longer what it was. Came to Vegas with friends and my husband for my 30^th birthday weekend/​week 3÷15÷14−3÷19÷14. On Sat 3−15−14: Paid $ 40 for me and my husband to get in, then spent $ 18 for a «Vodka Collins» and Corona: the décor is not impressive to command such a high cover. Weak drinks with almost no alcohol yet extremely overpriced, and the DJ is completely unresponsive to the crowd. Nobody was dancing because of the continuous hardcore house without any vocals, no «current» hits being mashed up…, no mix to appeal a little to everyone. New DJ set needed that appeals to more than one type of crowd, the bartenders although extremely hot, need to loosen their hands on the alcohol and actually add some to their drinks… Was thoroughly disappointed. Ended up at Koi in Planet Hollywood and enjoyed the great mixture of music, dancing, and great drinks. Going to Share/​Pure/​Koi tomorrow. Hopefully I’ll have a better experience at Share than I did at Krave: /

I want this place to work! Really do. Visited On a Friday night in March at bout 1 AM with a total of 20 people in the club. Slow to say at best and was told Sat night were ‘off the hook’.
OK so I visited Sat night and the cover was $ 20, I told them I was not paying $ 20 so they reduced it down to $ 10 — no harm in checking it out for 10 bucks right?
Well I gave them a $ 20 and they could not even break it! Combined Front desk and coat check could not break a $ 10 cover with a $ 20 bill! The till was completely empty.
I left. The outcome would of been obvious.

–THIS REVIEW IS FOR AFTER, THE AFTER HOURS CLUB KRAVE BECOMES AFTER 3:30 AM ON SATURDAYS/​VERY EARLY SUNDAY MORNING!?-
I’ve always been jealous of co workers talking about the glory days of Utopia. From what people have told me, I feel that After definitely can hold a candle to what was once Utopia, in Utopia’s former location.
Since I missed the launch party, I made sure not to miss the next night. I was blown away. If you have ever been to Avalon Hollywood, this reminds me of a smaller version of it. It is nice for Las Vegas to finally have a REAL TECHNO club to be proud of. And when I say the word TECHNO, I mean it in the real sense of the word, not the crap word people use for a blanket term.
Don’t be expecting super fancy décor and et cetera, but do be expecting to bootyshake until the sunrise to some awesome techno and tech house beats free of cheesy vocals. And things are only to get better once the patio opens back up in mid March with some deep house and nu disco :)

Negative: $ 20.00 cover as a everyday entry fee???
The sound system was not balanced. High range was peircing to the ear.
Other pet peeve if you have Gogo/​Dancers please make sure they can dance and not just thrust back and forth. The DJ they has was horrible. You know the club is bad when you can’t wait to finish you overpriced drink so you can leave.
(Not like the original Krave.)

Oh wow thought they would improve by now! Where do I start?
The cover charge for people need to go away! Share and piranha don’t charge anymore! Unless the club is always packed and offers great service and entertainment which this club does not even come close to share night club standards!
The DJs the past couple times have been bad! Why would you play fast music then play slow songs when the dance floor isn’t packed, people just stand there wondering what happen to the fast song to dance to! Plus they never look like they enjoy being up there!
The lighting is too dark and boring, it’s like no one is controlling the lights when songs are being played! The place is just out dated and needs some life! I know they haven’t been open very long, but they had some time to adjust some things, and haven’t! Who cares anymore they’re on the strip share is right down the street and piranha is not that far either.
The VIP areas just seem boring to pay for it, and yes drinks are overpriced for such a low grade club…
Let’s see if they change things around soon, so far it’s been no change and never busy! Almost everyone I met that night left to share.

Me and my plus one were supposed to be VIP on Friday night and had it all setup for no cover, bottle service and the entire VIP service and treatment but when arriving we were told to pay the cover of $ 20 each and after doing so we were told that the open bar was only till midnight and that they knew nothing of the arrangement with the VIP management, even when showing the email from the person we were told we still had to pay for drinks and I can say we left after getting a refund of the $ 40 of cover. Early that morning I got an apologetic email and was told that they wanted to make it right and to come back the next night Saturday and we did, after a long irritating mixup of who was providing the driver to is to and from the club and when we got there they told us they had been told about our bottle service of only paying the 20% gratuity per bottle and that was gonna be about $ 20 for a $ 100 bottle and yet told to pay the $ 40 cover for two of us and we just left and went to The Cosmopolitan to their clubs and got the VIP treatment same night when mentioning we were going to drop money on drinks the petty cover didn’t matter. I would say to avoid this place and go to another venue that is gay off the strip. Just because it is on the strip doesn’t mean that it is a good venue!

Krave used to be a fun place to go before it started moving all over town. My friends and I used to look forward to going to Krave at least once every Vegas trip. The new location is, well, underwhelming — to stay the least. I went around 12:30 on a Saturday night. Although we were on a guest list, they made us pay cover since it was after midnight. Not a big deal if it was as poppin’ as it used to be… we walked in to find the place maybe 30% full, with an awful DJ playing and an awkwardly empty dance floor. The drinks are extremely overpriced — even more than the Abbey in West Hollywood (I’m talking $ 15 a cocktail). I think we stayed for about fifteen minutes, cut our losses, and went to Share (soo glad I did that, Share was everything I’d hoped Krave would be). I definitely will not be going back to Krave again, which is a shame because it was such a great place for so long. My advice to Krave is to get a good DJ, stop charging so much for drinks (especially when the competition is charging so much less), and to stop charging cover until the place is at least at 70% capacity. Don’t waste your time going here — go somewhere else where it’s less expensive, more fun, and better music. Krave is a serious bust, and a borderline dump.
