Rain Las Vegas Review
Rain Las Vegas is a beautiful study in contradictions. Like the Palms, the casino-hotel that hosts it, Rain Las Vegas was
built for locals but encourages out-of-town visitors to leave the Strip and party in its high-rise.
Inside, Rain is cavernous but doesn't feel impersonal at all. It's definitely unique without being gimmicky and it's elegant without being overblown.
When you enter Rain Las Vegas through a shiny, futuristic entry way, the club's visual charms hit you immediately.
Fourteen-foot fireballs illuminate an elevated dance floor as glistening guests dance to contagious beats. A cutting-edge lighting system washes the room in color and motion. The thrumming dance floor seems to float on a bed of fountains.
A wall of windows face out toward the Strip, complementing the popular members-only "cabanas" on the upper level. The prominent windows may seem an unusual design choice for a discotheque - they're traditionally windowless -- but it pays off here. Rain is very much part of the fun that's going on outside -- a Vegas-style party that hasn't stopped for years.
The pumping sound system is top-notch -- all the better to play those deep house and techno grooves -- and live shows by the likes of Macy Gray help to draw out Vegas' nattiest, best-dressed crowd.
Contrary to popular perception, not only does it rain in the desert, but it's also a real pleasure when it does.
