The Act Nightclub

Okay....idk how I truly feel about this place. It's getting that rating because I was beyond perplexed. Entering the club is pretty fun and thematic (Alice in Wonderland). You definitely get the sensation that you are falling down the rabbit hole. Thing is.....I felt like I needed to take some drugs being in there in order to comprehend all the strange and vile characters present. I was genuinely scared. I couldn't tell if I was in a nightclub or a haunted house! It's one thing having to shoo away unwanted men attention. It's on a completely different level to shoo away a demonic entity. That sounded too harsh-okay, S&M Eyes Wide Shut folk.

Anyway, the above is all for entertainment which is def more of a 2.5-3 rating however the 1 rating stands as it comes off an empty promise from one of the promoters there. He told one of the girls in my 13 girls group that he would have a table and bottle service for us. Unfortunately all he did was just get us in, which left a bad taste for all of us as we were expecting he was going to keep his word and not just try to get quota/numbers.

The Act Nightclub had been on my list to check out the next time I was in Las Vegas. The next time came, so I took the fiancée there on a Thursday night for Rebel Bingo. While we had reasonable expectations about the Act based on Yelp reviews and the wild and wonderful photos we'd seen online, however, we had very little idea about what Rebel Bingo was going to be about. As nightclub venues go, the Act is much smaller than your average Vegas megaclub, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a distinctive looking space with an overall vibe that is possibly best described as Grand Guignol.

The Act was a lot like other dance clubs with go go dancers and overpriced, uninspired drinks at the bar. Rebel Bingo was a special event and it was your not so typical, drunken Brit-conceived, fun and an enjoyable time. I know the fiancée had a good time...which would've been so much better had we won the slushie machine. We left shortly after Rebel Bingo ended, so we didn't see the Act transform back into its "regular" self. That said, we did manage to see costumed performers and a friendly dominatrix on stilts. I can only imagine what it's like on a "normal" night. I'd definitely come back.

Remember the '80's movie with Fred Savage, Little Monsters? Well, imagine Little Monsters had sex with Cirque Du Soleil and Dr. Seuss and gave birth. The Act. The love child of Little Monsters, Cirque and Dr. Seuss. And I kind of loved it. Also, many times, I was waiting for Nicole Kidman and Tom Cruise to show up because this reminded me so much of Eyes Wide Shut.

I feel I am at a point in my life where getting stupid drunk and grinding on someone is no longer fun for me. If you want me to go to a club, you better have some entertainment. This place has entertainment for days. I wouldn't say I ever got offended, but I'm not easily offended. But there were definitely some shocking aspects. Best of all, it is very small by club standards. Rich red fabric, comfy booths, winding staircases. The Act really paid attention to details. There are several performers lounging around who make an effort to keep the party vibe going. The statue of Buck Angel (who I only learned was a real person after the fact) is a nice touch. Interesting place and definitely a unique experience even by Las Vegas standards.

This is hands down, the best, most unique club in Vegas.

This place is a modern day Moulin Rouge.

Walking in the club you're greeted by a gold statue of man with a vagina. The walls twist and turn and wind, then the club opens up and it looks like a theater.

There are little performance put on by acrobats, actors, dancers, beat boxers... It was amazing. Some of these acts were sexual and not passive-aggressive sexual, but gender-binding, leaping over the line of obscene.

Typical club attire. Music was all over the place. Top 40, EDM, Hip-Hop. The DJ really goes with the crowd on this.

Uni-sex bathrooms (LABELED SEX ROOM).

Cocktail prices are expensive.

highly recommend table reservations as the club is small and there really isn't a lot of wiggle room. Definitely a MUST DO in Vegas!

Get caught in the Act.

Now that I've gone several times I enjoy it more and more each time I go. Music isnt always to my liking but I always seem to have a good time.

Go check it out!!

OMFGG!! SO MUCH FUN!!!! I honestly never been to such a distinct club!!! So my group got bottle service and it was incredible our waitress was always there to serve our drinks the music was fantastic and the mini shows got us so hyped up and the music doesn't stop which is good as well. I had to thank the clubs security bc with in 10 minutes of sitting in our area my phone feel into a crack between the cracks of the sofa so be very careful of where you put your phone, anyways the next day the club security was kind enough to take the sofa apart to rescue my phone I'm so very thankful for that otherwise my vaca would have been ruined. All in all I def recommend this place my group and I loved it so much we wanted to go back the next night. We will MOST DEF be coming back to The Act.

P.S drinks were expensive just like another LV club/bar but so worth it for the entertainment you get!

This place was awesome. Kind of thing you can only see in Vegas. This is a nightclub inside Palazzo Resort. It's called "Act" because they have a stage at the front of the dance floor that you can dance on, but every 30 mins or so, maybe an hour, they clear the stage and they do some sort of "act" on the stage.

My girlfriend and I wanted to check it out because it was her first trip, and we wanted to see things that are quintessential Vegas. We started our night at XS, but the music didn't impress us there and they packed us in like sardines. So when we couldn't breathe anymore, we headed to Act.

First thing, when you walk in, its like walking into an old vaudeville theater, but one that has been redone by a demon. It cost us $50 total to get in, and the first thing we saw inside was they had this mock-up of a small apartment with a person walking around inside wearing a giant baby's head. I know, sounds weird, but it kinda added to the atmosphere. Inside the club was all sorts of strange things - a guy in a werewolf's mask, another guy in an outfit that looked like it was made of broken crystal. Another guy walking around in black tights, some kind of red bustier, and a black mask that covered everything but his mouth.

We loved the music. It was a mix of dance, top 40, and some house, which was a better change from XS which was nothing but house. We only saw one "act," but it was a sexual themed one, with a woman in lingerie twirling from ropes above the stage, the on the stage, a group of women in lingerie and half naked men doing a sensual, sexual dance around each other on the floor. Then a guy joined the woman in the ropes in a 69 position and...well, you get the idea. Clothes (at least what they had) stayed on, so it never got pornographic, but it was a bit wild.

My one complaint was that it was a small dancefloor, even with the stage. But, thankfully, it wasn't super crowded when we were there. There was a crowd, but unlike XS, we had room to dance and weren't getting crushed.

We got there around 1 AM, and would have stayed for more, but unfortunately, some chick in 6 inch heels stomped down on my girlfriend's foot and we thought her toe was broken. It wasn't, but she was bleeding and it hurt her to walk, so we decided it was time to go back to the hotel.

Strongly advise checking this place out. Great music, cover isn't outrageous, and the acts are pure Vegas. The Act is a lot of fun.

This place was SO WEIRD! AND I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

We went to the opening of The Act Afterhours - got to the Palazzo around 3am, stood in line for a while but luckily we were on the guestlist (find a promoter!) so no cover. Took forever for us to get through the maze to the dancefloor, and we were actually at first disappointed at how empty the place seemed. Also how ratchet some of the girls looked in line...BUT WAIT! DON'T GIVE UP YET!

Alice and the Mad Hatter were grinding it up on the dance floor, and some creepy rabbit on stilts with a certain unmentionable item protruding from his pants...ha! Insane. Also, some guy was making it rain dolla bills every few minutes...only in Vegas.

Came out to about $27 for 2 whiskey sours. Kind of pricey but definitely worth it for the crazy show we got... Strange is a total understatement! Definitely worth one visit to see some crazy Cirque-du-soleil dominatrix shizzzz but because of the tiny dancefloor/bar I probably wouldn't go again.

It was impossible trying to leave...drunk girls + maze = confusion :P

This club was CRAZY and now I want to bring all of my friends to experience the same thing we did.

We had never heard of this club, but thankfully a promoter at the palazzo got us to try it. The Vegas gods smiled upon us!

It was incredibly bizarre. The promoter had described it as, "cirque de soliel meets club" and that barely scratched the surface. You walk in through a dungeon-esque hallway with performers on the way to the main club. Once inside they have a girl doing acrobatic tricks on a hoop hanging above the bar.

The club itself is not very large, and we went on a Saturday night and it was pretty full, which was nice. There are dancers all over in crazy outfits... Imagine a scandalous Effie Trinket from hunger games (too nerdy?). There was even a sexy medusa!

Throughout the night they have shows that get more bizarre as they go, most very sexual in nature. Egyptian gods with light up eyes on stilts and acrobats hanging from the ceiling are just some of the things you'll see.

People there celebrating birthdays or bachelorette parties were getting new bottles that girls would bring out lit up with fire/sparklers and it was quite attention grabbing and spectacular.

All in all it was VERY VERY weird (which was the point) but amazing and unpredictable. Sensory overload but a good thing. We will def come back next time we are in vegas. It is def a place that will give you stories to bring home (which is what we all want, right?).

Go. Don't think about it just go.

Visited Vegas for a nice long four day weekend and decided to check out a few clubs and see what was new. We visited several, but this one stood out. It has a very original concept, is not oversized, and can be quite entertaining!

The concept, as I understand it, is based on a few clubs around the states including NY. As you enter, the venue has several windy and curvy hallways and enters into a main hall, with a center and forward stage. There are several bars, two located downstairs and one located upstairs. Many of the tables are designated to reserve ahead of time so if you want seating, you might want to call ahead.

There are several acts which seemed to be approxinately every hour and can get spicy! The club caters to nearly every interest, are very friendly, and is loads of fun. The crowd was fun. There was not allot of area to dance but everyone was utilizing the space available to get their grove on.

Highly recommended!
