When dressed up for a night out on the town, little can make a date feel less VIP than traipsing in full club garb through a sticky-hot and fume-laden trek through one of the many parking garages in Las Vegas. The desert heat means that even parking garages are hot at night, which can wreak havoc on a carefully orchestrated look for the night out. Fortunately, many clubs in Las Vegas offer valet services that get a well-dressed guest out of a hot parking garage and into party mode. This means that a date dressed to the nines can quickly duck from a cool ride into an air-conditioned hotel, thus avoiding parking garage makeup meltdown.
