Hey Reddit! Wife and I are a low circulation LS couple, but the Reddit community has been such a helpful part of our journey that we wanted to give back and offer up a review of our recent experience at Playhouse LV for those who might be looking to give it a swing (both literally and metaphorically).

We definitely know how hard it can be to find a place that’s a fit or matches your personality, in, so we wanted to share some thoughts as a couple who can be a little bit shy in these settings.

If there’s interest in this post, maybe we’ll write up a Moorea Beach Club review as well.

TL; DR: We’d highly recommend Playhouse LV. It was our favorite club experience to date and we’d call it the blueprint for what a good club should aspire to be.

Playhouse LV - We read several glowing reviews of Playhouse on here, many that noted it was a young and good looking crowd. We decided to go on a Saturday night. We showed up close to 10pm (as the website encourages you to do) but most folks don’t file in until 10:30 or later (you have to show up before 12am).

Like a lot of these places, it’s in an “industrial” part of town (strip clubs and auto shops). At some point we drove through a pack of like 75 teenagers who were wandering the streets and we started questions our choice, but aside from an awkward conversation with your Uber driver (“I’ve been dropping a lot of people off here lately! What is this place?”) it’s not far off the strip and is easy to access.

I’ll start with the crowd, since that’s what we all search for, right?! Playhouse didn’t disappoint! It was a legit hot swinging scene! We’ve checked out clubs in LA and PS, and Playhouse smoked them. The turnout wasn’t huge (maybe 20 couples) but generally, it was a VGL crowd. Age range was early 20’s through mid 50’s (we’re in our 40’s and felt like we fit just about in the middle). The couples matched and most were very fit.

The dynamic is really unique. Since play isn’t allowed until 12am (and there’s no alcohol allowed, though some folks navigate around this), the environment really forces you out of your comfort zone to chat with other people. They have an outdoor patio where it’s easy to chat away from the music and get to know folks.

My wife and I can be a touch reserved at first, though as we saw here it was tough for everyone to break the ice and there were the typical “8th grade dance” vibes where everyone circles each other cautiously before deciding if we could even muster up the courage to say hi. This is ultimately the best thing about Playhouse (at least for a few paragraphs) because you get to spend a bit of time making fun connections with people and learning about what everyone is looking for. Felt very genuine and nice to get to know other people looking to try new things and explore the boundaries of their sexuality.

We spoke to an attractive couple in their 50’s who were still finding their way in the swing scene and just testing it out (it wasn’t for them and they left before play started). Another early 40’s couple bailed and invited us to follow them to Whispers because they thought it was going to be better there (they didn't like the lack of booze or the small crowd). We settled in chatting with a couple in their 20’s who decided to check the club out as their first experience.

Once 12am hit, the host for the night (the owners weren’t there) grabbed a mic and we were told we were finally allowed to play. It was kind of hilarious.

A lot of folks wandered off down the halls to some of the private and semi-private rooms, but my wife and I decided to stay in the main area off the bar (there’s a bed, chairs, couches, and a second bedroom) and have fun with each other/put on a show (exhibitionism is a big part of the fun for us).

My wife and I grabbed a nearby chair and while she went down on me, two couples hopped into the bed for some group fun. Two more couples snagged couches and the 20’s couple grabbed the second bedroom across the way. Before long, nearly the entire crew who showed up for the party was having sex in the same room. If you’re into voyeur/exhibition play like we are, this was a huge turn on. Everywhere we looked, there were hot people fucking - moans and clapping asses in every direction. My wife rode me for a while before the 20’s couple came out and invited us into their room for some same room play (no swapping, just same good old fashioned same room sex). We happily joined (and I was reminded what early 20’s male stamina looks like). After my wife and I finished, we left the room and awkwardly picked up our clothes from next to an inconveniently located blow job.

As far as we could tell, there wasn’t a lot of swapping going on while we were there (we stayed for an hour of the play time), thought it seemed as if the momentum was moving that way as we wrapped up. There were a handful of girl/girl hookups and couple bed sharing, but I’m not sure we saw more than two couples swap. We’ve seen other reviews note this as well, but we didn’t view this as a negative since we were really just there to play with each other in a sexually charged environment, which Playhouse delivered.

A few other notes:

Couples were respectful, though one guy put his hands on my wife to try to pull her into play. It was easy enough to walk away, but it was a lame move on his part and a reminder that even the hottest couple in the club needs to follow etiquette.

It was a nice place! The couches were nice! The main dance area was classy. The staff is hot! They deserve a ton of credit for making this one of the more comfortable clubs to be in. Fun note: It still had some camp: I haven’t seen a single review mention the Pac-Man walls, which was our kind of style. (Bonus points for the Super Mario wall stickers.) No notes!

Wife and I really aren’t club people and haven’t had the best time at other lifestyle spots, so it was really nice to have someplace where we left saying, “We’d definitely go there again!” A big thanks to everyone at Playhouse LV for creating a really solid club experience.
