40/40 Club

I'm torn. I love Jay-Z. I love liquor. I love sports. I love great bars. (screech)So, the decor is uber trendy white couches, chairs, metal mirrors. Everything art deco in a bar.And we had plenty of opportunity to check it out, b/c 1 other person was here. Music was lame. And it looked like the same game was on all 50 TV's. What?We waited 15 minutes for someone to come out of the back and then they ignored us.What What?Then we were told, the kitchen wasn't quite open yet.So, we went outside to check out the patio, and whoa 2 more people... waiting.... for a drink...in Vegas? WTF!Sorry...if the look wasn't so cool, I'd give it one star, but it was a good looking joint.I hear Saturdays are much better...

I went here during the middle of the day this past weekend, NOT at night, so I can't comment on how it is as a club. Upon entering we were given a tour of the place, which I recommend to anyone stopping by. After being awed, we chilled at the outdoor area.It was a great place to kick back and chill, and it had a nice view of the strip. The drink menu was over the top, and one of my friends got really buzzed thanks to the bartender messing up the drink order and making an extra martini (I was surprised that they actually gave the extra drink to us). However, be sure to watch your tab; they automatically tagged on a 20% tip to my friend's bill without him noticing.We weren't here late at night or during any huge games, but I highly recommend it as a stop to kick back and enjoy a few drinks away from the smoke and flashing lights of Vegas.For a few moments, at least.

I don't get this place at all, it was Thursday night 9pm and almost completely dead inside except for our team party to celebrate the end of our conference. The place is really nice, it's definitely more of a sports bar or a private party lounge for the boys. We had the Jay Z suite, which opened out into a patio right on the strip. Ridiculously nice location and amenities, but seriously where was everyone. I couldn't help noticing that all the waitresses were small Asian girls. What's up with that, what are you trying to tell us Jay Z?

Dear Jay-z,I'm sorry I'm not a rapper, a "ballaaaaaaa," nor a rich ass B*tch! I'm sorry I can't afford your ridiculously-priced drinks! I'm sorry I do not enjoy your 100 big screen tvs that light the "club." I'm sorry that your drinks are extremely watered down! I'm sorry that you add tip automatically to the drink bill. Most of all, I'm sorry for wasting my time in your spot when I could be drinking for A LOT less at some other venue!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm so not jockin' Jay-Z...LOVE,Mon

I don't see what the big deal is about this place...Maybe it was the night I went...but it was overcrowded, and hot, and uncomfortable maneuvering through the place... and just NOT what I would have expected at all..by what I heard about it...Part of the upper area was roped off because the floor or the stair was broken...The Outside patio was unbearable from all the cigarette smoking...and frankly..it was kinda ghetto...and I accept a certain level of "ghetto-ness" when out at the club...you know bitches runnin' outta contempo's...throwin cookies out the cookie shop...hahah but you know what I mean...I wouldn't recommend it, nor would I go back...I'm just sayin.

If you are thinking of visiting this establishment in Las Vegas I have some advise for you.STOP! DON'T DO IT! WASTE OF MONEY!The drinks are overpriced and not good.My dessert was bad. (You can't serve fried Twinkies and snickers cold) Music okay. I know it's Jay-Z club but I don't need to hear him every other song.My hostess wasn't informed about the club practices and swiped my card too many times. I ended up with a $400 hold on my account which didn't drop until 3 days after I got back home.Needless to say, I won't be back and you should save yourself a trip too.

We go to 40/40 every time we visit Vegas. We usually have a pretty good time. Friday nights are cool if you want a nice atmosphere with it being sort of empty. You can chill with friends and sit anywhere you want. So, when we went this past Saturday, we decided to take it up a notch and get bottle service. Bad mistake. Don't do it. It's a scam. Here are the details:When I made the deal for the table, I was told that I would receive two bottles of champagne, strawberries, and a table large enough to fit the six people in my party for $400. I received two bottles, but the strawberries were two that were cut into a lot of pieces. The table didn't fit my party. We were made to squeeze on a sectional designed to fit two people. So we had to squeeze 3 people on the couch and the other three had to sit on foot stools. They then presented a $533 bill.I refused to sign the credit card statement because I was overcharged. They threatened to call police if I didn't sign. Someone was assigned to "watch me" for almost 2 hours before the manager took the time to talk to me. He told me that the best he could do was charge me $450. Since there six people in my party, I decided to sign so we could leave. It was almost 5 am at that point.I very calmly attempted to inform them that we were not satisfied with our accommodations and that we were being over charged. Since it was in a club, I had a hard time hearing them. I asked if I could talk to him outside and he refused to talk to me outside of the club. Their initial response was to threaten to call police on me and that I would have to wait 3 hours to wait for them to get there. From what I learned from talking to three different club security employees that the 40 40 club scams people to get them into the club and getting their credit cards, then overcharges them at the end of the night because they think people will be too drunk to notice. They were very rude and weren't willing to acknowledge or resolve the dispute.

We went to watch a baseball game at 4 PM on a friday. I thought "how could this place be THAT bad".. haOur waitress well sucked. My bf ordered a "ciroc breeze". she brings a glass of just plain cirOCK (she can't pronounce what she's serving). Then she procedes to be rude with us when we explain, no we wanted the cocktail called circoc breeze "well that's not what you said". HUH, first of all we were sober and I know we were right, and secondly isn't the customer always right?Drinks are PRICEY even by vegas standards. Think small, ill crafted cocktails for $16-$18. We're talking tiny cups, crappy combinations, etc. I don't mind paying up for a tasty well made drink.. these were just slop in a cup for $16. UGH.Atmosphere was "cool", but seriously in a sports bar does it make sense that you should only be able to watch 1-2 games at a time? We were seated in the "main part" which was comfy, but seriously we had a view of the main tv and one smaller side tv. Isn't the point of a sports bar to watch MULTIPLE games? On weekends in football season I can't imagine picking a bar that would only let me watch one game. LAME. Also I was told minimums will be $75 pp during football season. WTFAlso, on friday they had all the staff carry around these stupid plastic bags filled with T-shirts to try to sell you on. So a club with platinum/gold floors selling $16 drinks needs to try to make extra money selling $20 t-shirts? Huh?The extra star is for the chef who was super friendly and gave us a nice tour and put forth and effort to make sure the game we wanted was on. He was super shady when i asked about Jay Z selling the club,however. He claimed it's all just rumors.. sure...

I agree with another reviewer that this place would be great as a sportsbar, but horrible as a nightclub. They have a huge flat screen tv and plenty of comfy couches to sit and watch sports games. They have several bars... one near those couches, one upstairs, one downstairs, and one near some VIP booths. The dancefloor is downstairs and it's pretty small. The bouncers are very anal about anyone leaning on the empty VIP couches downstairs (sheesh! can't a girl rest her feet??). The music was horrible. I totally wasn't feeling the constant rap music. You just can't dance to it. And the crowd was a lot older... I would say 30s to 40s. I would definitely pass on this club next time. The interior did not wow me at all.

I went on a Sunday night, no big games on... there was plenty of staff and lots of comfy places to sit... Food was a spiced-up version of bar food, but I liked it. (who can say no to fried twinkies or snickers?!) Although, I have to say while the drink menu was extensive; the quality was mediocre at best, you're better off getting shots or beers. (hmmm...mandatory gratuity for 2 people?!? I dunno Hova, you may want to rethink that) Great as a sports bar...can't comment on club nights-but I heard it gets crackin. Cheers!
