Going to sound like a massive music snob, but fuck it.
My issue with clubs is that 99% of the music they play is horrible. If I'm going to 'clubs' now there is only two reasons:
1) A decent event on run by reputable organisers - solid international dj who won't sell out and play shit that the venue orders him to
2) Large group of friends going and interested in said females attending
If I actually enjoyed the commercial rubbish that gets spouted I'd go more regularly. Once you experience some intimate events with amazing djs and great crowds, you don't give a shit about 'picking up'. It's just great to loose yourself in the music, and bond with girls and guys who aren't taking selfies. Now, it almost becomes cringe-worthy every time I step into one of those 'super-clubs'.
Of course, the catch-22 is that hot girls won't attend an event if the headliner isn't Tiesto/Avicii/Kaskade etc
I've heard a number of reports in Vegas that quality acts are being told what the play and essentially compromise their integrity to play to the masses. Mark Farina was booted off for playing too much 'house':

There's no way I can support a system like this. Even in Sydney, the 'best' djs only go to biggest venues who can spot their ridiculous fees. As a result their sets always suffer and they end up playing to an uninterested crowd.
For me anyway, it feels like going out to typical club you play this charade where you pretend like you're enjoying yourself. Everything is fake and everyone is narcissistic. Don't get me wrong, you can get laid from clubs, but I'd rather meet women through other, more enjoyable means. The rush I get from an instadating a hot 20yo is more than a ONS from a club-slut these days.

Rolling up to the Marquee Day Club in Las Vegas on Saturday 2 June to bring some sunshine-friendly house to the pool area, Farina didn’t make it very far.
“Supposed to be going on now…but got the boot, apparently too much house for this Vegas crowd,” he wrote on Twitter. “My deepest apologies to all the true house heads that showed up. Was out of my control, unfortunately.” True to form, the House Gangster himself DJ Sneak had a speedy reply: “You gotta fight back man. You earned you spot. Tell them mf who mark farina is.” In response, Farina wrote: “My liaison said manager was getting complaints from their table service crowd.” The party also featured Miguel Migs, but it looks like he survived the table service gauntlet…
