They actually have good drink specials, and it is a fun place top hang out if you are getting beat at the tables. Which, for me has been the past few times. I also noticed they make the drinks strong here, which is always a plus. This is a perfect place to people watch, as you get a full view of the action on the main casino floor if you are at the bar. Or wait for your buddies if they are hot on the tables.
Play the video machines at the bar (minimum $20), and you get drinks on the house. At least tip them $1-2 a drink though. They'll come back a little more often than if it stays empty.
