Editorial Review for The Highlands – by Patrick Green
The Scene
Flashing more cash and sass than P. Diddy, the Highlands is an entertainment experience that's as extravagant as it is enormous. Located on the top tier of the Hollywood & Highland complex, the 25,000-square-foot, multi-story club features an expansive dance floor and seven bars. It also houses a separate restaurant with five dining areas. If that's not enough, there are three outdoor decks offering inspiring Tinseltown views. The Euro-flavored, plush and posh decor is a bit over the top, but in a cool Vegas-y way. DJs mix trance, house and Top 40 on the weekends.
The Draw
This club packs a lot of potential, but it's also located in a shopping mall, so it attracts weekend warriors from the 818 to the 714. With the right mix of dons and divas that gravitate here, the Highlands has become a nightlife destination.

I went here with a couple of my girlfriends in April and we had a great time! I don't really relate too much to waiting in line like some of the other people are saying below. My friend emailed ahead and put us on the guest list so we started off in the shorter line, but after talking to one of the bouncers, he let us right in and we didn't have to pay a cover! They didn't pat us down like some people are saying but our outfits were simple jeans and tanks so we couldn't hide anything and we brought in our clutches, which only hold our lipgloss, car key, some cash, ID and a credit card. Who brings a actual purse to the club anyway? U put motrin and gum in the zipper of your clutch! However, we choose here because we are use to more high scale places that have very small dance floors becaue mostly everyone is people watching and all that jazz, and this place has a HUGE dance floor on the first level, and really nice sized on in the back corner, and a nice sized on upstairs, all playing different music. The drinks are a little bit watered down, but if your going to dance and have fun and not booze it up, then this is a great place! The people we met there were all really cool and we had a good time....started off with a party of 3 ended the night with a party of 15 of we randomly people we met there. Just think this whenever you go out, no matter where you go, someone is going to have a bad experience for every good experience there is out there.

I chose to go to this club for my 22nd birthday because the first time I went I had a great time with 2 other girls. I made sure to put my name on the guest list for me and 15 other people. I received a confirmation back through email stating I was confirmed...to not call or email back. So on June 13th 2008, I show up w/ 4 other people I asked one bouncer where to stand in line if i was on the guest list, he told me to stand in the regular line! I went up to another bouncer with a list and he told me to hold on. Once he finally came, he told me i WASN'T ON THE LIST! I was angry because they told me that I should have brought the confirmation with me, but mind you it DID NOT say on the email confirmation to print it out and bring it with you. After arguing with him and telling him it was my 22nd birthday and showing him my id, he let us in for free. MY BOYFRIEND however was interrogated! He is an EMT and had a CPR mouth to mouth cover that the bouncers thought was a stash of illegal narcotics!! These people r so stupid!! Then they questioned him because he didn't look like his id pix cuz he had gained some weight and cut his hair. He showed them other id's and credit cards w/his name on it and they finally let him in after 10 mins! Please no matter what you do, DO NOT COME HERE! I was not pleased at all and never realized that you are being judged by what you wear or who you are (color of skin). I just simply wanted to have a good time for my bday and it was all ruined. I ended going to Vertigos instead where i got in for free, drinks were less expensive, and had a blast after what happened at the Highland. I looked like a fool telling everyone to go to the highlands for them to tell me that i should've printed out the confirmation. THEY SHOULD STATE THAT ON THE EMAIL CONFIRMATION THEY SEND YOU!!!!!! Find somewhere else to go for any occasion...it's not worth the hassle to get into the highland....
Pros: Parking, Dancing space
