The most fitting metaphor for Las Vegas is that of the buffet – something for everyone and all-you-can-handle quantities.
To extend the metaphor to nightclubs, without naming names, there are meat-and-potatoes clubs (house music, sweaty bodies, pulsating beats, etc.), there are fancy, unpronounceable French food clubs (imposing lines, haughty bouncers, chandeliers that cost more than your parents’ house), there are dessert clubs (don’t start hopping until 3 a.m., when everybody’s had a great night already but no one wants to go home), there are…this could actually go on for a long while.
Absent from this feast though is that club, or food, or whatever, that’s small and personal and not just served up to the masses in take-it-as-it-is form.
But wait! What’s that glowing softly and rosily from the space inside the Wynn that Lure used to occupy? It’s Blush -- and dinner, metaphorically, is served.
Billing itself as the town’s first boutique nightclub, Blush is small. Now hold on a second there, come back, it’s not what you think. Small here is good, great, even, because with a 400-person capacity, it’s a pretty safe bet that everyone inside is being well taken care of.
Under the 300 individual color-changing lanterns that cover most of the ceiling, guests can sit on plush, long couches around tables that gleam like prisms and actually have a conversation. If it’s early enough in the evening, they can even eat, too -- starting at 5 p.m. each night, the club serves up Asian appetizers from Red 8.
At 10 p.m. four nights a week, the tables are shifted around and one of the coolest dance floors in Vegas, made of lit onyx, is open for business.
Blush also takes VIP to the max, most of the seating is for bottle service and there’s a private, 25-person room off to the side, if your group’s a little on the large – or splurge-y – side.
If you’re in the mood to take advantage of Vegas’ great weather, head out to the club’s patio where more tables and a portable bar are set up in the same intimate, swanky style as the inside.
Other touches, like VIP purse lockers, a couple of TVs near the bar and a separate area in the ladies’ restroom for primping, make having a great night at Blush effortless because they’ve got all their bases covered.
If you’re full up on cattle call nightclubs or are just craving something a little different, don’t skip Blush on your tour of Vegas’ nightclub spread. Trust us, it’ll hit the spot.
