Artifice

"Trendy bar full of good looking people. Goth/Industrial nights on Fridays. Shockingly cheap drink prices for Vegas. Good sized dance floor, plus plenty of space to lounge on comfy couches. Highly recommended. No food, just chips."

"This is the original social spot in the Las Vegas Arts District, and in my opinion still the best. Artifice is an inclusive and diverse establishment with a classy and polished art-lounge feel that caters to the ever-changing clientele in the Las Vegas Arts District. It started off years ago with a more art-punk vibe, but as the demographics shift in this area the bar managed to both follow the trend as well as maintain its unique identity. There are a variety of theme nights and events offered here throughout the week or the month, so check the calendar for what you like. But it is most known for the longest running goth dance night in Las Vegas, in fact Artifice is almost synonymous with that. However, as a venue, it hosts all kinds of local artistic events, dance nights and performance evenings. The drinks are inexpensive compared to the strip, and reasonably priced when compared to other bars in the area. The service is friendly, the music and ambience just awesome. It’s not often that I walk into a place and it feels like home from the very beginning. That was my experience at artifice, and it continues to feel like that every time I go. This place is becoming a Las Vegas tradition."

"Wonderful club! We had the pleasure of visiting Artifice while in town for another event. The owner is amazing and the staff couldn't have been nicer. The entire place was clean, including the bathrooms, with great decor. Highly recommend, we will definitely return."

"Another unique place in the Art District. It's a moody place, very dark with a central bar and large dance floor. Menu is easy to work with and loved that they had ciders. Personally found the music quite loud so moved to the other side of the bar, away from the dance floor and speakers. This place I find, truly draws a specific crowd. It's atmosphere is good though and it's nice to see soo many people out enjoying themselves."
