We spent over $5,000 on a bungalow/table expecting a premium experience and ended up feeling completely disrespected. After this experience, I honestly understand why this place sits at 3.3 stars. The staff and hosts (Hunter and others) were actually great and this review is NOT directed at them. The problem is the security team, which completely ruined the experience. They acted arrogant, aggressive, and seemed to be on a constant power trip all day. Instead of making guests feel welcome, they treated people like they were doing something wrong just for being there. We witnessed guests being spoken to disrespectfully and even saw people being put in handcuffs. Security is important, but there’s a difference between maintaining order and treating paying customers like criminals. When people are spending thousands of dollars for a VIP experience, the expectation is hospitality, professionalism, and respect. Paying $5,000+ to be treated this way is unacceptable. Management seriously needs to reevaluate the security operation because it is destroying the guest experience and, in my opinion, is a big reason the rating is where it is. Also the bottle serves asked for $900 tips even though there was 20% gratuity included on the bill and threatened to take to bottles back if we didn’t give them $900 cash. They lost a long time costumer!

Nice atmosphere for a club with the proper lights and effects for what a traditional club should have. Definitely for the younger crowds, only makes sense to attend if you have a table or go for a specific performer with a group. The dance floor is a shoulder to shoulder mosh pit which pushes you to the side areas and back bars where there is already a lot of traffic. Normal $12-18 per drink depending on beer or mixed, staff was fine, would return if the performers played actual club music rather than EDM or random mixes where you can’t dance. We had a better time at Nolas before heading here.

The club itself is not bad, but it does not rise above the level of an average venue. The sound system is mediocre, lacking deep bass and somewhat underpowered, in my opinion. We attended an event where a DJ was playing, and the club was severely oversold. The main dancing area is quite small and is unfortunately further reduced by the club management, who reserve sections for VIP guests. It seems that VIPs are the primary revenue source for the club, but this comes at the expense of regular visitors. I don't drink and am unwilling to pay $1,000 for a bottle of vodka just to sit comfortably, but there are no other options. Additionally, please note that the club closes at 3 a.m., which is unusual for me as a clubgoer. Thus, at 3 a.m., we were essentially asked to leave. Moreover, there is no effective control at the door, so all kinds of people are allowed in, leading to a rather rude and overcrowded atmosphere inside.

A solid nightclub for Atlantic City. Honestly, it’s more about the crowd needing to step it up than the club or the staff. Both the nightclub and dayclub are great spaces—large, with strong sound systems and friendly bar staff. At times, the clientele can be a bit much, but that’s more of an AC issue overall. Once the city polishes up, this venue will really shine. One highlight is their strong roster of DJs who keep both the day and night parties going.

I hung out with my nephew and his friends (for his 'birthday' that has lasted 3 weeks already) last night and this place was INSANELY COOL. We got a VIP table above the dance floor and it was worth it. I've never seen a light show like this before. The way that everything just coordinated was mind blowing. DJ was incredible. Service was top notch. Staff dressed to really impress and waitresses were dressed to impress...the men ☺ All were friendly and professional. We just had a really great time. I definitely recommend going for the table.
