UP ALL NIGHT

Dolce excels at making patrons feel exclusive -- assuming they've got money to spend.

The inside of Dolce comprises one not-so-big room that's dark and moody. --> image1 ends here -->The new, small downtown lounge is hidden next to Neiman's. Its door policy is guest-list-only.

Inside, bottle service separates the Coolest Kids from the merely VIP. Tables start at $350, which includes one bottle of liquor and mixers. You can't sit down unless you pay.

It's frustrating at first, but that changes to envy. After an hour of watching big-spenders frolic in mini-living rooms, you almost want to break out the credit card. Chilled Grey Goose is worth it, right?

Last Friday around 11:30 p.m., Dolce had no line but the doorman eyed us warily.

"Are you here for the party?" he asked, inferring that the place was closed for a private event.

"No, but we're on the list," I said. Magic words. He found us on a clipboard and unlatched the rope.

Dolce's dark entrance corridor is similar to Suite, another upscale lounge in Knox/ Henderson. Black smoked glass covers one wall, which shows patrons' silhouettes on the other side.

The inside feels similarly dark and moody. An exposed brick wall is spotlighted to look gray. Chandeliers hang over squat black couches.

The crowd is well-coiffed and trendy, and diverse in age and ethnicity. Most people we saw preferred scoping out the opposite s*x to dancing.

Privacy-seekers can book the $1,400 secluded VIP suite, which has a 50-inch flat screen TV. A live Web cam might have been more interesting.
