Just saying
\nyou’re the "new" kid in Las Vegas doesn’t mean much. In this city, everything
\nnot only looks like it was built last week, in many cases it was.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

In a city
\nwith three dozen clubs — all of which are relatively new, if you consider that
\na decade ago, there were one or two — you need more than a new glitter ball
\nand sparkly lights.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Prive<\/strong> and LAX<\/a><\/strong>,<\/strong> two of the newest, just happen to fit the bill.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

After
\nopening in late 2007, Prive<\/strong>, at
\nPlanet HollywoodResort & Casino<\/a><\/strong>, immediately billed itself as a place that perfected "the quintessential Miami vibe." Indeed, there is a humid South Beach feel to
\nthe place, which opens at 10 p.m. and presses on until whenever. Striving to
\nmake its mark, Prive<\/strong> operators are keen to be sure celebrity sightings<\/strong> are a
\nregular part of the regular club decor.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Less than
\nsix months old, LAX<\/a><\/strong>, which
\nreplaces RA<\/strong> in the Luxor<\/a><\/strong> — the black glass pyramid among the Las Vegas hotels<\/a><\/strong> on the Strip — is
\nanother celebrity-spotting hot spot. It opened in the fall, hosted by no less
\nthan tabloid-cover queen Britney Spears<\/strong>, then had the Hilton sisters<\/strong>, Paris<\/strong> and
\nNicky,<\/strong> as hosts of its New Year\u2019s Eve party.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

But this is
\na club that, far and above so many others, made its name with the opulence and
\ngrandeur of  two winding staircases and mile-high curtains for the VIP entrance — made intimate and cozy with the contrasting flavor of small nooks and
\ncrannies throughout.<\/o:p><\/p>\n

Make no
\nmistake, in the confusing war that pits club versus club on the Las Vegas Strip, LAX<\/a><\/strong> will weekly play host to A-list celebrities. Even without the
\neye candy, though, this is a place well worth visiting until sunrise.<\/p>\n
