text: This place is off to a bad start attitude wise The bouncers not all of them but most treat you like some bum off the streetnI have been around the Scottsdale nightlife scene for years so I know lots of people including club owners etc and a few calls and VIP and in is no problem but that is not my style because personally I think VIP is cheesy and has mostly want to be people Cannot tell you how many times I have walked out of VIP after being invited in Would rather hang outside VIP any daynnAnyway back to the W On the softopening they had in September I went to the W A few people gathered around the door and not super busy inside so I figured I would just wait Well after the door guy letting in a million people he would not let me in Was not like I had a crowd with me I was solo and I was dressed very upscale So before I left I asked him his name just for the record small world and I give people only one chance I went around the other entrance I knew the door guy and was in Walked around for minutes saw all the people who go to these openings to be seen ran into some people I knew and left Nothing worse than hanging out in a room of fake worried about how the world views them people All trying to emulate some sort of social statusnnThe prices seemed decent Mondrian started charging for a Bud Light then you add for tip its There is a difference between expensive and just plain gouging I think W is still good on this areannA few weeks later went back and though there was no over the top scrutinizing at the door but it still had that bad unfriendly attitudenThe atmosphere around the pool is cool and the architecture is cool So if your into that check it out but be ready for the Kent Dorfmans doormen deciding your fate if you can come in or notnnnIll probably give the place another chance but right now it scores low
