Where do we go to see the greatest DJ’s in the world? Las Vegas, Nevada. While there are plenty of clubs with DJ’s performing every weekend, this Martin Luther King weekend we stepped into the Encore, sister hotel of the Wynn and home to one of the finest clubs in Sin City, Surrender Night Club. Doors were scheduled to open at 10:00PM, yet there was a line already forming by 8:30PM. We definitely couldn’t believe the size of the line.
Why was there a line and who were we waiting to see? None other than the world renowned Scottish DJ and Producer himself, Calvin Harris, who was officially celebrating his birthday at Surrender. [Who wouldn't want to celebrate their birthday in the Official Party Capital of the World?] He was set to take stage at Midnight for his 2 hour set after DJ Burn’s who opened for this 10PM-4AM event.
As you walk into the entrance of Surrender, you are taken outside where there are lights atop of the surrounding walls of the whole venue and a gorgeous pool with pathways to walk across. This venue is definitely one of the most beautiful clubs that we have ever been to. There was also a tent setup just outside of the main dance floor to extend inside the smaller indoor dance floor for this event. However, anywhere you were inside or outside the club, beautiful people were dressed up in their finest attire surrounding you; all ready to rage for this birthday extravaganza.
As midnight approached, Mr. Harris took stage and opened up with his hit “You Used to Hold Me” and got the crowd instantly going. Hands in the air, people bouncing to his music, and flashing lights all over the venue; this crowd was “ready for the weekend”. You could feel the energy as the crowd danced and sang along to just about every song he played. 2011 was such an impressive year for Mr. Harris, we definitely can’t wait to see what he has in store for this year. One thing is for sure, Mr. Harris must make another stellar appearance at Surrender Nightclub at the Encore soon!
Just take a look at some of the excitement that took place that night…
