Its features include a series of message board, member profile pages and a "Spotter" through which members are encouraged to report spotting other members at various DC hot spots. Although Late Night Shots remains focused on Washington DC, other sites have been created for Charlottesville, New York City, Atlanta, Los Angeles, Charlotte and Dallas.

Criticism

In July 2007 the Washington City Paper published an expose about Late Night Shots and the associated scene. Late Night Shots members reacted angrily in a series of comments on the Washington City Paper website, calling into question writer Angela Valdez's journalistic integrity and credentials. The accuracy of the City Paper article remains in dispute. Valdez later left the Washington City Paper amid its chapter 11 bankruptcy filing in October, 2008.
