Cresting the latest wave of celeb-crazed nightspots, Area is an ultra-exclusive and ultra-expensive lounge that's part of Sam Nazarian's nightlife empire. As with many similarly upscale venues, the easiest way for non-SAG cardholders to get in is to fork out for a table with pricey bottle service. If you want to be part of the region's biggest reality show, it might just be worth the expense, but don't expect anything edgier than Timbaland productions coming through the sound system.
