What people are saying about The Sunset Strip VIP Club Card:
"We believe we're one of the only destinations in the country that is offering this type of exclusive VIP pass to hotel guests for automatic entry into this many venues. It's a great opportunity for those staying on The Strip in West Hollywood to experience the entire Sunset Strip without having to stand in line or pay a cover charge."
--Todd Steadman, Executive Director, Sunset Strip Business Association
"The Strip has so much to offer – from dining and shopping to nightlife – just steps from all of its hotels. The Sunset Strip VIP Club Pass adds to this experience and gets guests 'on the list', letting them bypass cover charges at top live entertainment venues in the city."
--Nic Adler, Owner, The Roxy Theatre
"Having the VIP Club Pass as an extra amenity for our hotel guests is more than just an additional perk in providing exclusive access into some of the hottest live music venues in L.A. It also shows our guests the true culture of what we strive to project at Andaz and The Sunset Strip. . .that we are a community of creative and collaborative people."
--Michel Morauw, General Manager, Andaz West Hollywood Hotel
“The VIP ClubPass has been a great way to introduce our new guests to the world famous Sunset Strip and reacquaint others that have been regulars in the Hollywood nightlife scene. They just love getting that little passport to rock.”
--Greg Hall, Concierge, Mondrian
The Pass allows visitors to experience a convenient, enjoyable night out without the hassles of having to drive to another Los Angeles destination and fight the crowds for parking or pay for a cab ride. By walking outside their hotel, the options for the evening are bountiful and most importantly free. The estimated savings could exceed $125 for a couple:
After a pleasant dinner at one of the critically-acclaimed restaurants onThe Sunset Strip, one could walk the world famous boulevard, stepping into The Comedy Store to take in an 8 p.m. show, where comedians Sarah Silverman, Dave Chappelle, Jeffrey Ross and Jeff Garlin have been known to stop by (estimated ticket value of $20 for one). After a few laughs, one could head across the street to the House of Blues Sunset Strip and skip the line to see such artists as Erykah Badu, Black Veil Brides or ’80s kings Steel Panther (estimated ticket value $20 for one). The next stop for the night could be the legendary Roxy Theatre, which recently hosted such artists as Foo Fighters, Friendly Fires and KRS-One, to take advantage of exclusive VIP seating at a rock, indie or hip-hop show (estimated general admission ticket value of $15 - $20 for one), and the evening could be capped off at the Rainbow Bar & Grill next door for a couple drinks, music and some late night grub (estimated cover charge of $10 for one). Shows at the legendary Viper Room, Cat Club and Key Club would complete your whirlwind nightlife tour of The Strip.
