e4 is the hottest place around and a crazy, wild place to spend your weekend night. As the name implies, e4 is themed around the four elements -- earth, air, water and fire. This IS Scottsdale, so shimmy into your $200 jeans and Jimmy Choos’ and head out for the evening.

I watched this place evolve over 4 years from a dirt lot into a behemoth of a club. With two levels of fun and dancing, this is surely the place to visit.

You can start with happy hour on the Air patio, an open air space to smoke and have a couple cocktails. White and blue are the colors here. The bar top is completely illuminated, giving off an eery glow. Seating is kind of limited, but this is the only place you can smoke.

Dinner is served in the Earth Lounge, where the theme is Dr. Seuss meets the Bellagio.(so I’m told) Cool earth tones and funky lighting make this room a place to relax. This is also the brightest room, meaning it’s not dark, like the other rooms. You can actually have a conversation in here. There are plenty of seats and the menu is reasonably priced.

The red-lit Fire Room’s theme is a gothic castle/dungeon, complete with a ‘cage of love’ seat and girls dancing inside sheaths of fabric. Everything is red, including the bathrooms. Red velvet seats and pillows line the walls. This is by far my favorite room to hang out in. The music is a little more my speed--industrial and rock.

Enter the piece de resistance, the Liquid Room where floor to ceiling waterfalls are the main attraction. Lava lamps are the tables and the dance floor has two levels. The color, of course, is blue and silver. Blue everything, from the carpet to the seats to the lighting.

Cover is upwards of $10 to $20 per person, and the drinks are expensive. Martinis can run 12bucks a piece. But hey, it’s the weekend--relax. The dance floors are small and the place gets packed.

The Fire and Liquid rooms don’t open til 9pm. The lines are LONG, so get there early. I suggest having a bite to eat or arrive at like 6 or 7 pm to avoid the cover charge and get an early start. The club holds 600 people, but there’s usually a thousand people lined up after 10pm.

There is a dress code. No baseball caps, torn jeans or wife beaters.
