I loved loved loved this club! It was the only place that played all hip hip/ r&b and none of that top 40's crap. I'm so over the Vegas Clubs with the cookie cutter people.
I miss you POETRY! Open back up! I will get a damn bottle if I have to just to be there grand opening night! -

Poetry is located inside the Forum shops at Ceasar's Palace, and heres the lowdown:
Crowd: Mostly of Color
Dress code: Dress to impress, guys no Tennis shoes but jeans ok.
The Price: I got in for $15 or $20 from the guest list, i forget, but its discount price before 11 on guestlist (we got there at 11:07 but they still let us in).
The Drinky Drink: Expensive but good. The bartenders are friendly, they tend to show love when you show love. My girl even spilled a shot at the bar and they replaced it free of charge.
Music: Hip Hop and R&B
Seating: Buy a Table or chicken hawk the bench seating near the bar
Overall fun Factor: a definite stop for anyone who likes hip hop music, dancing, and having funListed in: It's Vegas Baby!

It's OPM with a face lift. VIP was full of amateurs. All that being said, it's a good place to go when you want to see brown people and dance. With the number of promotions they run, if you are a chick, you should NOT have to pay to get in here. I have had fun dancing here, but this is not the typical Vegas mega-club or ultra-lounge experience.
Depending on who you are, that is a good or bad thing. -

This is the spot on the strip where the Black hip-hop crowd goes. Its got some beautiful/cool women and some straight HOODRAT hoochies. I got a bad hangover my first night cuz I REFUSED to get shook down for 6 bucks for a water. In retrospect, the $6 was not worth the hangover I had the next day, but come on, you aren't go lose much profit if you give away free glasses of water. I met some really nice women in here, but too bad I'm not down for the long distance thing.
If you wanna kick it, come here. If you wanna be seen, or like running around screaming your headoff while holding hands with your barely 21 year old girlfriends, then go somewhere else.
On a unrelated note...while walking here the first night, I saw a man wearing some girl Ugg boots. He was just a normal guy wearing girl Uggs...I had to do a WTF double take. After a quick google search, I learned that there are guy Ugg boots...but he was clearly wearing the girl ones. I hope he was from another country and just didn't get it. -

The music was great, I Heart Hip Hop, but the crowd killed my enthusiasm!
My girls and I showed up after 11:00pm and it was dead! But we still decided to give it a chance -we traded our free drink cards and headed on to the dance floor...only to realize we were the only ones dancing!!! As I looked up I realized that there were a lot of girls starring at us down giving us dirty looks! (WHOA) the last time I checked what you do on a dance floor is DANCE not stand around critizing others!...
We felt completely out of place like if we weren't cool enough to be there.......I didn't bring my sunglasses to sport them out in the dark (I didn't know what was still cool) and also we felt a little too dressed up since I saw girls in leggings and flip flops! Could you please try a little harder?...LOL....not our type of place!! -

After our horrible experience at Drai's the night before, I frantically yelped a hip hop club in Vegas. This is what I found.
I called the club around 7pm and I was suprised I was still able to get on the guestlist. I gave the lady my name and told her +1. I asked how much it would be because I was bringing my bf. She told me I'd be free and my bf would only be $15, but be there before 11pm. Since our hotel was across the street that'd be no problem. Sweeet!
We got there around 10:30pm and the guestlist line wasn't long at all...only about 20 people. We got in with ease, paid the $15, and when I walked up the stairs to the club I was greeted by ladies with empty champagne glasses. She told me ladies got free champagne before 12am. You know I was going to take full advantage of that!
We were instructed to go to the balcony bar that overlooks the forum shops. Got my champagne and the bf got his dranky drank. The bartender was really cool and apparently it was even his first day on the job.
I liked that on the balcony there were a few spots where we could sit and enjoy our drinks without paying for bottle service. We chatted and sipped our drinks for a bit and went straight back to the bar for seconds. It seemed like every drink we got were only $11 each. It's a couple bucks more than SJ, but for a Vegas club, you can't beat that.
The music. The music was freakin' awesome! STRAIGHT HIP HOP...my other love haha. They played everything from old school jams (like Onyx "Slam duh duh...let boys be boys!" LOL), hyphy, Tupac, and new cuts.
The bf and I literally danced our asses off hahaha. The dancefloor isn't too big and got REALLY packed. But hey...it was CRACKIN'!!!!!!!!!
We got sooo faded, we called it an early night and walked back to our hotel. All in all we had a fun ass time!
If you're tired of top 40 and mash-up clubs (like MOST in Vegas) this is the spot for you. I'll definitely return the next time I'm in town! -

The music was great, but the crowd sucked. It was about 11 p.m. and the club was dead. Short cut line and our free drink cards promised a great start to a fabulous night, right? WRONG.
My girls and I decided that we were going to get the party started by being the first ones on the dancefloor. Too bad there were too many haters that would just walk by and give us dirty looks.
Eww. I'm sorry, but the last time I checked, wearing sunglasses in a dark club at night was just plain stupid. Not my crowd. I'd rather go to Pure. -

There is something to be said for GOOD hip hop music...all night long.
BUT, as far as Vegas goes - this is a bit weak. I don't remember the bartenders. There was nothing "amazingly fun", and it was $30 to get in. There are many, many clubs where it's $20 to get in and that includes at least 1 other club.
It is centrally located, so that was a plus, but I would not go back.
Talk about a meat market. Literally...the walls were lined with dudes hissing and grabbing.
Not cute. -

So it's a Saturday night and my friends and I were at Caesars Palace to go to Pure, but that turned out to be sooo whaackk. So we left Pure and decided to just gamble for a little bit, and while sitting at some slot machines, a young lady probably in her mid 20s came up to us and asked if we wanted to go to a new hip-hop club in the forum shops. We definitely were not going back to Pure, so we decided to follow her. It turns out she was taking us to Poetry, aka the old OPM.
Anyway, we get there and there's a line formed outside the door. But she handed us free drink tickets and spoke to the bouncer and he escorted us into the club through the side door up the stairs.
He led us to a vip area where we sat down with some dudes who gave us drinks. We were also able to get a free drink each at the bar with the passes she gave. The place itself was small. I walked around the entire main floor in like 2 minutes. But the music was 100x better than Pures, so I was happy. They weren't lying when they said this was a rap/hip-hop club. The DJ played straight hip-hop/rap/bay slap all night, all very reminiscent of music I'd be hearing if I were home in the Bay at a club. So that was a major major plus.
All in all a good night. If you're in a group of all girls, don't settle for less than getting in for free with free drinks. The lady who brought us there said it was basically her job to search the casino for "hot girls to take to the club". No lie, that's what she said her job was. So try to run into her! Haha. I'd go back if it were free again. -

I was here on Thursday night, 11/15, for E-40s Birthday party; my birthday was on Saturday so I thought what a better way to spend it than with my homie E-40 Fonzarelli, Harry Bellafonte.
Prior to my trip, I was scouring Yelp for a good Las Vegas club. I'm not a house music or a mashup person, so it was pretty hard to for me to find a club that I liked. I came across the Poetry website (which is the old OPM) and saw that E-40 was having a bday party. I was determined to get on a guestlist or at least get in. To do that, I found an e-mail for a representative from Poetry (you're not going to find it on the website, you have to google Poetry Night Club), e-mailed her and she called me back the next day!
My guy and I still had to wait about an hour to get in. We waited in a special guestlist line. I was worried about my guy not getting in because you hear about all these LV club horror stories, asshole bouncers, etc. The guy was really nice. He didn't even check names for the list, I think just the fact that folks even knew about a guestlist line was enough. I was free, due to the nice guy who flagged down taxis at the Monte Carlo, because he gave us passes, my guy was half off, $15.
The club itself isn't that big. There's one main dance floor, a VIP area which looked big from the outside. It was hyphy bay music the whole night which I loved; however if I were at a club at home and that's all they played, I wouldn't enjoy it. Just the fact that I was in LV and in a place that felt like home, I enjoyed.
There were of course celeb appearances, Too-Short, Suga-T, Luenell (from Borat, the hooker that he calls up and then goes to the country bar with), Snoop Dogg, and the Bday boy E-40. I'll post pix soon. He performed a few songs on stage, rolling 50 heads deep!
Also there was the hottest go-go dancer I've ever seen in my life. She had an amazing body, great skin, and pretty but a bit Amazonian, not like Xena. It's worth visiting the club just to see her.Listed in: Las Vegas thus far

Place is okay, not really my type of crowd. Music was good though, rap & Rnb.
VIP lounge was nice, but small and away from the dance floor, didn't like the PINK vodka though.
Overall not the greatest experience! -
Review from Hugh Y.

Crackin, straight up! Even at 2am! The walk their is so scenic, hah, even though it's inside.
Drinks: I was celebrating my just-turned-alcoholic birthday, so of course I did things big. Perhaps too big. Pukey big. But nonetheless, drinks were good and the bartender was nice. I got an AMF, then a screwdriver, then a tequila sunrise. Whoop! I was gone by then. Seeing stars!
Music: Such good song picks and transitions! They played all my jams that night. I was looking forward to DJ Jazzy Jeff or Biz Markie spinning, but they had this other DJ spinning on Sundays. The only bad thing about the DJ was that he would shout stuff over the tracks sometimes. "Detroit in the house?!" No one's from Detroit, homie! Just shut up and let the songs play!
Crowd: What a welcoming crowd. Soon as I walked in, this beezy grabbed my arm and used me as an anchor to back her booty into a guy in a wheelchair! Classic! There's some straight up business-lookin ppl with their bluetooths who are amusing. I mostly like this place because it's people of color getting their party on, and NOT some pale-skin folks gettin super drunk and causing drama. Ppl were getting doowwwnn!
Location: Place is kinda small, but it's better than those huge clubs that fit 1,000+ ppl. NICE LOCATION PLACEMENT, though. It's located waaay back in the forum shops, so you have to walk all the way back there to get to it. Pretty slick of them to put the club there, just so that only who ppl know about it can find it, and it wouldn't attract ppl who are just searching for a party. AND before you can get into the forum shops you have to get past a security guard and bouncer who ask you where you're going. It's good they're keeping this lil gem hard to find.
Go to Poetry. Get your drink on. Dance to chill hip hop. Scope out the crowd. S'all good, baby baby. -
Review from Kristine W.

When: Thursday night
Music: Hip hop, top 40s, and some rnb--def no complaints
Cover: $20
Size: Small dance club. VIP/ bottle service areas roped off a lot of the area.
Vibe: A great way to ease into the night--not huge and overwhelming like other big Vegas clubs. No waiting in lines that never move.
Perks: 1) Ladies drink free champagne before midnight (at least that night); 2) No line for the bathroom (and it was clean); 3) Quick and attentive bartenders
Verdict: If I was nearby and didn't want to wait to dance I'd definitely return. Basic club. No bells and whistles. Just dancing. Good stuff. -

Review from Mike N.
Portland, OR

As a former Vegas resident, whenever I go back to that city of sin, I always try and stop by Poetry Nightclub. The club differentiates itself from other clubs in Vegas because it does not take itself too seriously. The bouncers, promoters, hosts, security, and even the owner come down and talk to their guests like individual people rather than a hassle. All the other clubs in Vegas seem to treat individuals as if they are lucky to get into the club, Poetry Nightclub, on the other hand, treats their guests like guests.
As an example, after a hard days work on the Strip, I stopped by the club. Since I was a part of the Nightlife Industry, I had no problem getting in and was shown to a table in the VIP section, where I could sit back and relax after a stressing a day. Apparently, the owner noticed and swung by with a bottle from his personal collection, sat down at my table, and poured me a drink.
Nowhere else in Vegas will the staff treat you like a human being, and so I would definitely recommend stopping by and saying hi. -

I don't know how many times I get asked this question, but it comes up a lot. Where do the nightclubs in Las Vegas, come up with their names? Well, for Poetry Nightclub, it's pretty much self explanatory as soon as you step inside. On every surface you can think of, you'll find quotes from famous poets. Pssst, the quotes are even on the napkins.
Poetry, billing itself as THE Hip Hop club in Vegas, sits above Chinois inside the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace. If you're interested in getting an up close glimpse of Hip Hop and Rap stars, this is really the place to be. On any given night, you might run into Snoop Dogg, E-40, Carmen Electra, and many other celebrities. Hey, you never know, Tupac might even pay a visit.
My recommendation for Poetry Nightclub, is to get one of the two private balconies. Your choices are the Rockstar Room, which seats 40, or the Red Room, which seats 100. Either choice you make, know there is a bottle minimum, so choose wisely. -

So after our hell of a boring time at PURE we walked our drunk asses over to Poetry. The sound of hip hop was like a breath of fresh air. Our first appearance was Thursday night around 1:30 am (or should I say Friday morning?) No cover (worked some magic) I think ladies were $20?? Anyways...we had sssooo much fun here....we danced all night....I had the best time here. Drinks came fast...everyone had a blast! If you like hip hop music this is the spot to be.
We actually came back for round two the next night and it was just as fun! I will mos def be stopping by every time I'm in Vegas.... -

So they close the place for a month, rearrange the couches, put up some new photos on the wall and NOW they're able to justify hiking up the cover charge since they've "added a fantastically new lush, sexy setting". Its basically the same place as it was before.
Its not a bad place though. I hate most of the LV DJ Mashup crap so many of the big club play here. The whole "Don't Stop Believin" segway into Nirvana into Sweet Home Alabama etc just gets old. How do people listen to this every weekend and still get excited? So as the only place on the strip to hear hip/hop and R&B, you got to respect it at least a little. Corona's were $6 and appletini's were $11. I think the drink prices are still the same. -

Almost close to 4 stars like real close.
Okay a lot of people were saying this place was hood, ghetto, blah blah but it was actually nice. I did see how people said it was ghett...
For vegas.. this club could be way better though and it's in Caesars...
*They did serve ladies free champagne before 12!
Anyways we had a great time because they played music we liked all night long...Hip hop..R&B.. all that good stuff. Swaggin n Surfin..lol
Good DJ!! The security ppl working the VIP ropes were very nice and let us sit in the VIP seats that were mostly empty so we got to have our own space and dance in our own space!
We really appreciated that cause our little feet were hurtinnnn.
Oh yea i forgot to add the venue was a bit too small...
Good times to add to the Vegas book...ahhhh...

If you want an all hip-hop club, then this is definitely your place. The crowd is average (a bit.. err.. hoochified?), but the music makes up for the atmosphere! Drinks are flowing, music poppin' and if you are with your friends it makes for a great night..
Cover was $20 considering we got there nearly 2am! From my recollection, when it was "Opium" the cover was slightly higher..
Dance floor gets crowded, and people are really pushing their way through.. girls give dirty looks, and guys are checking out the booties. I would say twenty times more than any other average club..
All in all the music is absolutely awesome, but the crowd is a drawback.. dont get me wrong, there are some great looking guys in there.. but its not always fun to be compared to kim kardashian.. :-/ . -

Went to Poetry on a Thursday night and the place was packed. $20 cover for Vegas is not too bad. The dance floor is is pretty small, but there is enough room to get your groove on. They played some good music, mostly top 40 hip-hop and r&b.
When my friends and I arrived we had already been drinking so we did not have too many drinks, just a few shots which were reasonably priced. If I go back to Vegas I will definitely hit up Poetry, best club I been to out there by far! -

Have been going here when it was called OPM. We come here all the time when we're in LV. Staff is top notch, orderly, and polite. Drinks are mad stiff, and come fast. Music is ALL THAT. Being from Frisco, I love that Franzen basically runs this place, and mad love is always shown to those from the Yay Area. Oh, and not to mention the Ambassador of the Bay was celebrating Poetry's 6th Anniversary when we went, oh yee-uh! 40 Wattuh had it goin' on, please believe... He performs here often. If you're reading this, are from Bay, and don't know where to go in LV, GO TO POETRY!!!! You will not be disappointed. Ladies are hot, guys are fly....
And when in town, listen to 97.5 FM, because they're ALWAYS lettin' people on the guestlist.... ALWAYS! And LADIES, free champagne until midnight, helloooo? Hooked up all the way around. -

If you are a fan of an all hip hop club, this club might be for you. I gave this club only 3 stars because of the lack of recent hits they played. Love in this club was the newest hit they played, so I was a little disappointed.
The size of this club is very small. If you are one who does not like the high profile huge clubs, then this one will be good for you. The best part Poetry is that there are seats...and it is not in the VIP area! Free seats! -

RESPONSE FROM POETRY EMPLOYER.................................""Thank you for your review. However , I would like to point out a few things that are not correct. You say you were quoted $2500 for 6 people. This is a complete falsehood. 6 people should only run you $516.00 for a table and bottle. You also say you were quoted $70 per person. Our cover is $20 for ladies and $30 for gentlemen. If you wish to by pass the line then its standard to pay an additional $20 per person. Thus making your cover $50 for men and $40 for ladies. However, you can get on the guest list for Free or Half off before 11pm. Also, TMAC was there at midnight.""
MY RESPONSE.......................Thanks you for your response. I guess who ever mans the door at your club was trying to make some extra money that night. You cant tell me that the doormen dont make any good extra money on the side. I dare you to say that they dont. Why couldnt I get a price quote for a table over the phone? Tell me that please. What is the percentage boost for a cebrity visiting Poetry? This should be known by all the staff to make it easier for guest to plan/budget their night out. Not everyone is a "baller" like T-Mac.

mmmmm. Well there certainly nothing poetic about Poetry Nightclub in the Ceasar's but my experience left me on the fence. First of all it is exactly the same as the old OPM with a couple of wall paintings they added. On the positive side, the music is the best mix of top 40 and new/old school hip hop in Las Vegas, maybe even the west coast. Drinks are decent, and the bartenders are all friendly and attentive. Also, with the downturn of the economy, the line is almost non-existent or not as ridiculous as in days past. The guest list is also pretty easy to get on.
For the negatives, its ghetto. If youre not sure if you agree with me, the thorough pat down search you receive when you walk in will assure you of that. The dance floor get ridiculously packed and some idiot always feels it necessary to smoke next to you. Also I felt a bit overdressed in here. Timbalands, jeans, and a polo seemed to be the popular uniform.
I enjoyed the unpretetiousness of the crowd, friendliness of the women, and very much enjoyed the music.Comment from Branden P. of Poetry Nightclub 5/22/2009

we were walking around caesar's when some man approached us and asked if we wanted to get on the guest list for a club called poetry. i was going to say "what?" because ive never heard of poetry ever...in my life. but before i could question him about what kind of club it was he told us thered be free unlimited champagne for the girls til midnight
we were sold.
right after dinner we walked over to this club at caesars (which is actually located at chinois, they just turn it into a club at night) we kind of stopped ourselves before we walked in because we realized that..um...we were the only asians there. anyways whatever...we wanted our free champagne. gave security my name and walked right in. we got our free champagne glass and downed as many glasses of champagne as we could and left..
i'm sure its a great club. oh we later realized that it was a hip hop club. i love hip hop....but we just felt really out of place! i almost didn't feel cool enough to be there.......
but thanks for the champagne, guys. -

Poetry is great. Love the music and the vibe. Straight clean hiphop, no stupid mashups. Lots of bay slappers. DJ AM was spinning I believe and it was all good. Props to oliver letting us roll in no problems. Nice bouncers, nice bartenders, nice crowd. Everyone out to have fun. This was the only club to get pat downed at but I felt like this was the club I was least likely to get into a fight in. Only complaint is the crowd. Being asian I felt a little left out. I would like to see a more diverse crowd but if you love fitted brothas and fine dime piece sistahs, then this is your place. Dude that night in the middle of the club needs to put out that blunt though....

I have been to a lot of the clubs in Vegas. Poetry is a nice change up to the huge mundane nightclubs in Vegas. If you love to dance to Hip-Hop and R&B, this is definitely the spot! Probably the best music I've ever danced to at a hip-hop club. Staff is friendly and the bartenders are great. A couple people in our group that are caucasian did look and feel a little out of place, but we still all danced our asses off!

Only came here b/c we got passes and it was on way to another club. You have to really like hip hop to enjoy this club! I do so I had a blast! Also liked that I got free champagne and they had a $5 drink special (this was on a Thursday). Be aware, it IS a little ghetto but the music and reasonable drink prices help compensate for that. Overall, not a bad place to start your night although I'm not sure I'd go out of my way to come here again.

I researched this club first and found it was the only hip hop club on the strip so you know that was a go ! I was told to get there b4 1100 to get in free but I had tickets to KA and it let out at 1130 and that at the MGM . So we did'nt make it until 12 or so . The cover then was 20 for girls and 30 for guys and now a wait maybe 40 min os so but Finally we got in during the day it serves as a restaurant so the decor was nice and the music was banging and the crowd was in party mood ! I did not get a table but we were able to cop a bench by the bar in the back also chatted and partying the night up with my new found buddies from L.A If you like hip hop and sexy mama's and fella GO !

Was an ok hip-hop club. The cover was 20 for girls and 30 for guys. My drink (Vodka and Cranberry juice) didn't taste that strong. Once you leave, you cannot go back in, and it gets really stuff pretty fast. I loved the music, but the DJ would play it for like 30 seconds and switch. That annoyed me to no end. Would I go back? I hope I don't have to.

I loved loved loved poetry. The music and atmosphere of a bay area club , but in beautiful Las Vegas. All of the bouncers were so nice and not pretentious at all and the music , oh the music, I felt like I could have danced all night long if it wasn't for the 4 inch heels I was wearing. We had gone to TAO the night before and met some guys from Las Vegas who said Poetry was poppin so we thought we'd give it a try. We got on the guestlist around 3 with no problem ( maybe it's because it was a group of girls) and didn't pay or wait in line at all, but we did get there around 11. It's smaller than your typical Las Vegas club , but I didn't really mind because I still had room to dance. There is also plenty of places to sit when you get tired. Oh the best part: the drinks are hard. I think my AMF was 80% liquor and 20% of whatever else they put in it. I will definetly be back.
