Vision Nightclub

Im new to Chicago and my friends convinced me to get tickets here for NYE. I had people tell me both good and bad about the place so I didnt know what to expect. First off, this place is huge! Each room had a slightly different vibe and you can get lost in each of them. The nice part about the nice was that there was something for everyone depending on your mood. The main area was packed but a lot of fun. When we wanted to chill out a bit we went upstairs or into one of the other rooms away from the main stage. The music was great and the crowd was diverse. The lighting here was really cool as well. I figured I would try it again. This past weekend they had a local DJ showcase that was even more fun than NYE. It wasnt as crowded but still plenty of people. I hear they have some huge DJ's pretty frequently as well which Im excited to see how those nights go. The staff added to the great experience by tossing out glowsticks to the crowd and even helping me find my way out when I got lost. (Like I said this place is huge). Bottom line is this place can throw a party. ITs big, its an older club, but its also a great time. Thanks Vision! more

I've gone to this place twice. It's ok for typical night life in chicago, has generous space and room to move around which is definently a plus. Some times they have promotions as well for free entry which cuts out about $10-20. My main gripe with this place is the event coordinator (Kathryn) and management staff. Terrible. We had a group of 40 people celebrating 5 birthdays, and decided on this place a month in advance. Originally the event coordinator told us we would have free entry and our own private section, so long as we purchased two liquor bottles for $200 each for the whole group. Two days before the party, she contacts us and tells us now that the price of the bottles is $300 each and that we have to purchase three since it is the first friday of the month. We settled on two bottles for $300 each. On ARRIVAL to excalibur, she tells us sorry but they have to charge us $400 for each bottle and charge everyone admission (an extra $300). Nevermind we had a deal set up with the limo service and them already contracting in $25 each for limo service, free entry, and the already jacked up price of $600 for two bottles. To top it off, our "private section" was already filled with local patrons. It was too late to cancel, and we were finally able to talk to the less than helpful management to give us our original prices and deals. I say less than helpful because he snatched the original price list showing $250 for bottle service out of my girl friend's hands and said we shouldn't have that. The rest of the night went fine, but it took them another TWO hours to get our two bottles that cost us hundreds of dollars. This upset my girlfriend the most (who planned it all) which of course upset me. Had we known they would pull this we probably would of gone somewhere else for less frustration, better service, prices, etc. I don't think it helped either a patron tried molesting her on the dance floor. Pros: Spacious atmosphere, great to move around and mingle, bigger than most chicago clubs Cons: Terrible event coordinator and management, DON'T PLAN AN EVENT HERE! more

$ 20 cover is too much for a club that has been around for a while and the music is not good . This night club is not trendy ...not worth the $ 20 ... Pros: none Cons: cover fee more

Went on a Saturday night and had a blast. Music was great: perfect volume, selection and mix. Lots of eager dancers and eager singles. The drinks may be slightly watered down. And as girls, we were a bit displeased with the $20 cover. But I have no regrets. If you love dancing, you'll have a blast at Vision! Pros: Music selection, Music, People Cons: Cover, Price, Weak drinks more

Ever since Vision has been a part of Spundae promotions, there has been a great deal of high quality and extremely talented dj's from all over the world. The status of the club went higher since this change and i can't recommend a better place to go on a saturday when spundae brings in the premire dj's. Drinks are average priced and strong and most of the crowd who is there for a Spundae show love the electronic music scene. Tourists go home! Pros: sound system, dj talent, strong drinks Cons: no dress code, valet parking $, lines to get in more
