Guests arrive in a marble hall. A host in a dark suit waits with his clipboard. Speak to him and the LUX interface opens: choose your evening, pay, and the club is yours. No ticket, no entry: the club doors stay locked.

Pass the ornate black doors and walk down the leather staircase. The paintings along the walls come alive as you go down, a first taste of what waits below.

The club was relit for V2. Light comes from the stage, the LED wall behind the DJ and the chasing LUX sign; garlands of bulbs twinkle above the dance floor. Seats everywhere: sofas, booths and bar stools.

Bartenders work behind the counter. Open the menu, pick your drink: it is paid, served in your hand with its prop and its animation.

Two private lounges sit behind red velvet curtains. A VIP Pass holder can open or close them; every player in the club sees the same thing at the same time.

A marble lift with its own touch screen. Click a floor, the doors close, the screen fades, and you arrive. No teleport menu, no commands.

The top floor is warm and quiet: a two-storey library, a bar, deep carpets, white leather sofas and a grand piano in front of the sunset windows, with a terrace overlooking Los Santos.

Open the great wooden doors and step into a secret gothic room. Stone walls, carved wood, paintings in gilded frames, candlelight, a desk for private meetings and a third piano. At its heart, a baroque marble fireplace with a real fire.
