If you’re daydreaming about a short getaway to Las Vegas this summer, you might want to save the money and satisfy your itch right here in the East Valley.
Several Sin City deejays will man the turntables over the next few months at Airia Nightclub in Chandler. Each week, the 5,500-square-foot club — which is adjacent to the casino floor at Wild Horse Pass — will feature a new party theme and a new deejay from S.K.A.M., an artist management agency in Hollywood and New York City.

You must be at least 21 to get into Airia, and the club commands a strict “upscale, fashionable” dress code. That means no baggy or torn jeans, shorts, sandals (for men), tank tops, athletic wear, gym shoes or baseball hats.
There is a $10 cover charge for guys and girls on Friday and Saturday nights. A free line pass, available online, allows you to skip ahead of all the other people waiting to get into the club.
Airia is open 9 p.m. to 2 a.m. Thursdays through Saturdays and is located inside Wild Horse Pass Hotel & Casino at 5040 Wild Horse Pass Blvd. For information, call (800) 946-4452 or visit www.wingilariver.com.
