This old guy walked into the nightclub . . . . . . Well, I don't think I'm too old, but the last time I stayed at a nightclub at any time was spent at a place called pulsating in Glen Mills, Pennsylvania, the time is 80 s and 90 s.
This huge venue has all the glitz you think the post-80 s club will have, including 27-

People go crazy.
Teleport me to 2018 and I am now hanging out at beach bars, dive bars and sports bars near the Jersey coast --
Until I was introduced to the new nightclub in Dale, Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. Here’s how I —this not-so-old guy —
Spent two nights at one of Atlantic City's hottest nightclubs.
How did I get here, I had the chance to shoot the grand opening of the hard rock on June and peek at the nightclub that afternoon and want to take a few pictures of the venue.
What I saw was an empty room where workers hurried around to get ready for their debut that night, highlighted by the appearance of the Panther and the letter star Michael B.
World Music and Jordan
Famous DJ Mel Debarge.
DAER has been booking national artists since then, which makes me wonder what this night looks like
It's called a small venue. how to pull such a big name.
I was invited to see the club's performance on two nights.
The first night, I went out to play with electronic dance music producer and DJ DeMello, and the next night I witnessed the rapper Drake's debut in Atlantic City.

During the heyday of the Trump Taj Mahal, Kasbah was the place where people gathered until the early hours of the morning.
Now DAER has taken its place.
Take the escalator from Huangpu bar and you will find the entrance.
The club is another level.
Matt minicino, vice president of Hard Rock International nightlife and daily life, called it 15,000-square-
Intimate foot club
Walking into the empty room, it didn't look so small.
"When you have an intimate place, you have the ability to provide an experience that is barely available across the country," said Minichino . ".
The DJ area is on the left and there is a semi-circular bar on the right.
VIP area throughout the room.
There will be more later.
Put around 1,000 people here and I can see how it gets tricky.

There is also a line at the door.
The club did not open until 10 in the evening. m.
I was excited for a long night thinking this guy wouldn't show up until I usually sleep.
The club is swinging, very close to 1 in the morning. m.
It's been about two hours now.
The dance floor was packed with people and the party in the VIP area was fantastic.
I walked back and forth from one side of the DJ booth to the other and scanned the dance floor.
I have a high level of energy, but not the same level of energy as most millennials. At 1:37 a. m.
I saw momello with marshmallow-
Aglow helmet with DJ booth.
The crowd is crazy.
I have two feelings.
I was excited to see him because my daughter said he was really good because the night was coming to an end and I was relieved.

The direction of Drake's night is slightly different.
I arrived at 11: 30. m.
I don't know what will happen.
About an hour later, he came to Dale after the Philadelphia concert at Wells Fargo Center.
It sounds like a very late night for me.
For people inside the club, they don't seem to care when he arrives because the place is electric.
With a steady stream of bottle service to the VIP table continuing all night, the club's walls vibrate from the sound of the opening DJ. At 2:15 a. m.
There's no sign of Drake.
To pass the time, I decided to pay attention to a gentleman in the VIP area on the dance floor who seemed to be the life of the party.
I was curious if he would go to the Champagne Papi show. At 3:15 a. m.
Announced the news of Drake, standing on the DJ's booth.

Somewhere between my room, you can hear the outdoor scene and sound
On the evening of the performance by the ymello, he arrived early and when he showed up, the party became fierce in the venue, but I needed some fresh air.
I walked out onto the terrace overlooking the boardwalk and the September breeze immediately surrounded me.
The light from the Ferris wheel caught my eye.
When people get mixed up, I can hear the sound coming from the boardwalk, some people look at the amazing view from the deck, while others sit in droves with drinks in their hands.
There are 10 VIP areas outside, people can buy at night, and there are many tables for people like me.
With a View of boardwalk, ocean and Steel Pier, this is my favorite club.

Television celebrity Scott disike has served as a celebrity host, and Grammy-winning singer Miguel takes the stage on Labor Day weekend.
Minichino admits that having the iconic Hard Rock brand helps attract these performers.

What is this feeling? There are two ways to get into the DAER, both of which offer a different experience.
When I was wandering around for two nights, it was clear to me that it doesn't matter if you are a VIP or a regular entry guest --
You will have a good time, less than 40 feet from the artist.
I think it's close.
But it comes down to the experience and intimacy you want.
There are several VIP areas in the club.
There are tables around the DJ booth for 10 to 20 people and smaller VIP tables behind the DJ booth and on the floor.
These VIP sections provide your team with a larger space for activities and a customized experience.

Tim Hawk | NJ premium media for all VIP prices is based on the lowest price for drinks and relies on artists.
According to Minichino, customers have paid $2,500 to $30,000 for the table next to the DJ and $500 for the rest.
When I say "right next" I mean you are no more than 6 feet away from the person who performed that night.
The VIP floor is about 20 feet metres from the hotel.
Scraps of paper, box logos and flags are all part of the experience and presentation.
The bottle menu fits the market, says Minichino.
Bottles can range from $350 to $1,000 depending on your taste.

The good thing is you don't have to be a VIP to get close-
The actor's vision.
The dance floor leads directly to the elevated DJ booth, close enough to Drake's sweat dripping on you.
GA guests don't have bottle service for drinks, so they have to do it the old fashioned way --
Walk to the bar.
The space between the VIP floor seating and the bar is limited and wanting to have a drink is like swimming on the swim.
People are very accommodating and let you squeeze in for a drink.
The bartender greeted you quickly with a smile.
During Drake I counted seven bartenders who served drinks and had a great time with the guests.

Professional boxer Floyd Mayweather appeared earlier in the month.
The Philadelphia and visiting athletes also went to Atlantic City and stayed at the club for one night.
With all the celebrities coming and going from Etess and DAER, the property has a real sense of Las Vegas, Minichino says.
Keep your eyes wide open as any performer who plays at Etess Arena on Friday, Saturday or Sunday nights is likely to show up at the club.
"The synergy between nightlife and entertainment is really effective," says Minichino . ".

ComThey let me rain the first night there, I walked behind the DJ stage between the VIP stalls and noticed that the money was scattered on the floor, intertwined with white confetti from the bottle service demo.
I quickly looked up at the people around me.
My first thought was that it must be fake money because no one was crawling on the floor to pick it up.
No, it's true.
I walked to the dance floor and saw more.
Drake rained again on the night of the 1: 12 show. m.
Someone threw the money in the air and the money floated across the dance floor.
I watched it four more times in the next hour.
"Why does anyone want to create an experience," says Minichino . ".
The customer just threw the money into the air, he said.
This is the way they entertain.
I must be bored because I have never been so happy.
