What People Are Saying About Club Vegas

The Scene
Club Vegas features a surprisingly lavish layout that makes the most of its warehouse-like expanse and includes raised floor sections with comfy booths and couches. Craps, blackjack and roulette tables dot the interior, balanced by a spacious dance floor on the far end. A wall decorated with a photographic mural of Salt Lake's skyline gives the club some local flavor. The crowd is a mix of mullet-haired blue-collar types, baseball cap-clad frat boys and shiny-clothed club crawlers, both male and female.
The Draw
Despite its billing as a dance club, "legal" gambling is what makes this place stand out. "Legal," in the Utah sense of the word, means that money is not exchanged on the gaming floor. Your cover charge nets you 50 credits in the form of chips, and the fruits of your gaming labor are exchanged for raffle tickets, which are drawn for prizes (ranging from stereos, DVD players and televisions to vacation packages to Las Vegas) throughout the evening. It's all the real gambling fun with none of the real gambling risk.
