XS nightclub inside Encore Las Vegas announced today that it has been named "New Club of the Year" and "Mega-Club of the Year" in the 2010 Nightclub & Bar Awards competition, held in conjunction with the Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show coming in March to Las Vegas.

Over 235 entries were received for the 14 nightlife-related categories. A panel of judges each selected his or her top three choices and a calculation yielded the finalists and ultimately the winners.

Moreover, XS was named No. 1 in the rankings of the Top 100 Nightclubs by Nightclub & Bar Magazine. Sister nightclub Tryst came in at a more-than-respectable No. 5 in the rankings after taking second last year.

Members of XS ownership and management are scheduled to walk the red carpet at the Exhibit Hall at noon on Tuesday, March 9.

There will be a special VIP reception Wednesday, March 10 at 8 p.m. at Lavo inside the Palazzo in Las Vegas during the Nightclub & Bar Convention and Trade Show, as well as a DJ Spin-Off  that evening at 10 p.m. at Tao inside The Venetian.

The winners will be featured in the March issue of Nightclub & Bar Magazine as well as online at nightclub.com.
