Plenty of visitors to Shadow Room say they've never before encountered anything quite like it. This DC club was inspired by the VIP service available in Las Vegas casinos, and you'll see the club's commitment to luxury everywhere, from the valet parking to the VIP seating.

Velvet ropes separate those who are on the guest list from those who aren't (you can get yourself on the guest list by visiting the club's website), and once you're inside you can use the club's mobile phone ordering system. The system allows you to keep dancing or talking rather than waste your time waiting in line at a crowded bar. When your drink is ready, you'll get a text message, and all you need to do is swing by the bar to pick it up — no waiting to pay, either, as the mobile app has already processed your payment automatically!

And, of course, this place hires the hottest DJs to spin until the early hours of the morning. Stop by this weekend to see for yourself, Residences on the Avenue!
