Nairobi vs NaxVegas, Who Parties Harder?

Uncle Chim Tuna had the privilege of being hosted by one of Kenya’s biggest towns and what is considered one of the rave capitals of Kenya -Nakuru. What were you up to?

I got to find out why it has been dubbed NaxVegas… Kenya’s 2nd SinCity. I was at the King of Bold concert that was held in NaxVegas and i have to say i was impressed at how the Nax locals party. I take my hats off and salute everyone that came out for this one!

But i noticed that raving in NaxVegas is alot different from raving in Nairobi. It got me thinking about to just what degree the two rave capitals differ. Here’s what uncle Chim Tuna thinks.

<try to spot the lass>

#1. Women, lasses, ladies

NaxVegas has far less females out at night. Why? And why do you come out with your boyfriends? I was in the crowding trying to make eye contact with some lasses but in each instance the lad would make his presence felt either by physically the lass away or glaring at me. And ladies, ladies, ladies! Thou Shalt Not Wear Jeans To The Club!

In Nairobi, women MAKE the night! Nairobi’s lasses are usually out en mass and these days they dress to the nines. And they usually come out alone and those actually are single are atleast flirt with idea of hooking up… They are however still a waste of a lads efforts.

Score: 1 for Nairobi, nil for NaxVegas

#2. No Fighting In NaxVegas

In NaxVegas, i was impressed to see that the lads didn’t engage in Cro Magnon displays of machismo. There were no fights. Guys kept to their own and did their own thing. That was awesome actually! I was really impressed.

In Nairobi, some events are a mainstay for wannabe UFC Title Contenders. Nairobi lads are usually as calm and composed as monkeys performing a mating dance! Nairobi lads actually go out looking for fights. Bleurgh!

Score: 1 for NaxVegas, nothing but a big obese sero for Nairobi lads.

#3. Security

Security at this event was uber tight and while it wasn’t friendly, it was not hostile. These guys were unbelievably huge and they made patting us down a simple business transaction. No love lost here.

Security in Nairobi is usually appalling. In most clubs save for Brew Bistro, Mercury ABC Place and Volar, the security is usually hostile and down right aggressive. And the patting down is usually another excuse for inappropriate touching. And the bouncers in most clubs such as Club Betty’s would love an excuse to pummel you to a bloody pulp.

Score: This one i begrudgingly give to NaxVegas 1-nil!

#4. Drinking

NaxVegas lads and lasses don’t overindulge in average. There were few drunken louts.

Nairobi. Cheers to the freakin’ weekend and all that! You good people of Nairobi know why alcohol was given us by the gods! In Nairobi, beer is for the drinking and you’d better not waste! My cousins are actually afraid of drinking in Kenya with the Nairobi lot!

Score: Nairobi 1, NaxVegas nil

#5 Music

NaxVegas is crazy about it’s ragga and dancehall. Bleurgh! Nuff sed!

Nairobi has everything from some local infusion to electro to hiphop to dancehall.

Score: Nairobi 1, NaxVegas nil

#6 Fun-o- Meter

Flat out, NaxVegas kills Nairobi in this regard! Nax slays Nairobi dead! NaxVegas is fun with a capital F! Could it be the fact that NaxVegas is hidden or could it be that NaxVegas is removed from watching eyes? I know not! All i know is that NaxVegas is a madness!

Nairobi… *sigh* most nights it’s the same old same old.

Score: For this one, NaxVegas 2, Nairobi nil.
