Located in the heart of the Entertainment District, Circa is a mega-club with its own distinct character. The elaborate club features curated art installations that tie many of the club's spaces together with a common theme. Recent installations included a look at fetishes, while another presented a warped circus aesthetic. The huge space features a number of stylish areas, including a Kid Robot themed bar that was designed by the artist to include chairs that resembled bunnies, tables that looked like television sets and plenty of bright animated scenes. The Sensacell Bar features touch-sensitive table and bar surfaces that allow guests to spell words and draw images on the high-tech furniture. Don't miss the washroom bar, which features its own DJ and bar service.
