Club Reports: The Groove, Eve Nightclub, Sandwich Bar

Beginning my Friday night at CityWalk and specifically at The Groove.
Dropping by to see the return of DJ Tone (USA)!
Hey, they've blocked my "spot"!  VIP area has been placed directly in front of the stage.
Dance floor was filling-up quickly during my visit!
DJ Tone is from Tampa and has returned to The Groove every other Friday night.
His set was just about all Top 40 and Hip Hop.
Only heard a couple of EDM songs during my stay.
I inquired of Groove management about some of the upcoming changes promised for 2016.
Coming soon on Wednesdays, DJ Rincon will be doing a Retro night featuring dance music from the 80's, 90's & early 00's.  On Thursdays DJ PopRoXxX will be doing a music video night where patrons will be able to text messages that will be seen scrolling across the bottom of the screen for all to see. He'll also be playing requests sent to him the same way.  Should be fun!
You can never go wrong with Go Go girls!
Like I said!
Not packed, but hardly empty either!
Quick visit next downtown to Eve Nightclub.
There were customers along the main bar and particularly at the rear bar.
With EDM & House music delivered by DJ Dominick Morrison who we know from Mannequins, Aero Bar & EPCOT: China plus DJ Leony who we know from Latin Quarter, Red Coconut Club and XM Satellite Radio!
Dance floor was empty by the time I got around to taking some pictures but there had been some people on there earlier.  This club had been one of the downtown places to be just two years ago but it seems to have fallen out of favor lately.  It's just a beautiful as ever though and the music is always great!
Final stop of the night was over in the Milk District at Sandwich Bar.
DJ Carlos Mendoza (USA) on the controls when I arrived doing that House thing!
Small club, packed dance floor!
Taking over at 1AM, DJ Quivver (GB).
More real House music!
Keep in mind that it's pitch black in here and it's only this bright from my flash used to capture the action!
Dance floor stayed jammed!
Quivver is from the UK but he's based in Los Angeles.
Spotted on the dance floor: Blog favorites Christa & Stacey.
Spotted on the patio: DJ Andy Hughes (USA) & Bartendress Jennifer Forster. Both will be doing their respective things tonight at Peek Downtown!
A good time was had by all!

When do they do the spray downs at The Groove? I went on a Friday night last month during the Harry Potter event and it was crowded but I didn't see them. But I had to leave shortly after midnight.

If they do any, it's after midnight and after they hand out the light-up wands.

who's the genius that put the VIP in the worst possible spot??

Well it's the worst possible spot for the patrons, but it's the best possible spot for The Groove trying to sell VIP bottle service. It's a valuable piece of real estate and I expect it will be a popular spot. As with all real estate, "Location, Location, Location".
