Devin Friedman, when you’re ready to retire please give me a call. GQ recently sent Friedman on assignment to explore the mysteries of Marquee Las Vegas, one of the premier night clubs in the entire world. The combination of resident dj’s like Avicii, Above & Beyond, Kaskade, Benny Benassi, Chuckie and Sander van Doorn with a sound system that cost upwards of $1.5 million, make it every edm fans dream.
But there are things you haven’t heard of the backstory of Jason Strauss and Noah Tepperberg’s Tao Group syndicate, the exclusivity that money can buy and how promoters are ‘painting the room’ with elite girls.
If you’ve been to Vegas, you’ve heard about it or stood in line to get in. Marquee, the superest of the superclubs, sprawls over an astonishing 60,000 square feet. It allows you to party very, very hard. For just thousands of dollars! Would you like bottle service at one of our dance-floor tables? That’ll be another $10,000. How about a 30-liter bottle of champagne to share with a dozen women you’ve never met? $250,000. How about we get Kim Kardashian to come? $100,000. Devin Friedman explores the world, adds it all up, and explains the mysteries and the pitfalls of the hottest club on the planet.
It’s an engaging piece on how the other side lives, what some of us may never experience or find hard to imagine that some do. One things certain, if I ever get married consider my VIP table booked.
