MY FAVORITE NIGHTCLUB IN THE WORLD

Saint Tropez comes to Las Vegas?

Steve Wynn has long been a fan of the iconic spots found in the south of France, St. Tropez in particular--where Byblos, Cinquante-Cinq, and Nikki Beach have set the tone for Mediterranean revelry. It’s no accident that the vibe of XS reminds one of this; Wynn, however, is confident that he’s raised the bar, no pun intended, on the experience.
“It’s the day-long club scene transitioning into the excitement of the night, but in Saint Tropez you have to travel all over town to enjoy it all; here, I’ve integrated everything at once,” Wynn says, pointing to the adjacent restaurant Botero, an elegant, modern steakhouse helmed by executive chef Mark LoRusso and also co-owned by Drai. When Encore opened in December, Botero quickly emerged as a hot spot for dinner, not only because of LoRusso’s imaginative cuisine, or for a view of the famed sculptor’s works of art; it’s also the close proximity to XS that inspires guests to linger over dinner before being lured to the club scene outside.
With XS, Wynn once again has the most talked-about nightspot in Las Vegas on his hands. A line of eager clubgoers snakes down the hallway on a typical night. What’s the best way to guarantee a great evening? “It makes the most sense to book a table in advance, and being a guest of the hotel absolutely helps,” Cy advises, while Jesse’s tips include thinking about what you’re wearing, “we very much cater to an upscale crowd.”

The fact that XS fully lives up to its name is a notion that pleases the man who wrote two letters down on a piece of notepaper. “A club’s success today is rooted in building a better mousetrap,” Wynn says with a smile. “And we’ve built the best mousetrap in town.”
