Saturday night was my first time at V Nightclub inside MGM
Grand Detroit, mostly due to the fact I’ll lose money at the casino before I ever
set foot in the club. It’s not MGM’s fault that I’m just a slot machine sucker. So,
even after losing the requisite $60 in slots I was still thrilled to set foot
in V Nightclub and then move those same feet to Nervo. V Nightclub is shaped in a
huge oval, like a football with a long bar one side and the dancing on the
other. It’s a pretty swanky club with people dressing up, more security than
your average club, with a large bar staff that must have super hearing powers to
hear the drink orders over the music throbbing from the DJ booth directly
behind them.
The Nervo twins, Mim and Liv took over DJ controls at midnight and let the crowd know they just played one of their best sets yet in
Toronto and wondered if Detroit had what it took to top it. With a packed house
that had “party” painted on their expressions, the crowd didn’t let Nervo down.
The bar area and DJ booth were surrounded by people dancing and snapping
photos. Drinks were dispensed magically as the bar seemed like an impenetrable
place to get to and yet everyone seemed to always have a drink in hand.
Nervo’s
music was a blast of aggressively fun dance without any let up but filled with
constant high moments with fog blasters erupting. Styrofoam rainbow glowsticks
were tossed out to the crowd throughout the night and sometime around the
middle of their set confetti fell and it felt like it was New Year’s Eve all
over again.
V Nightclub gets high marks for knowing how to throw an event where everyone feels like a VIP. Likewise, the enthusiasm for Nervo is so strong a bystander near me had their name etch-shaved on back of his head. I’m not about make any radical hair styling decisions because of Nervo’s competency behind decks but I will make sure I catch their local next DJ set.
