| - So instead of the usual Saturday night Spaz @ South Point, my buddies and I decide to check this place out. Opening just recently, its siren call of a great view of the strip, top 40 music and a lounge atmosphere is what lured us.
So here we were a group of 4 guys and a girl, dressed rather nicely, arriving at the Eastside Cannery.
Seriously, its on Boulder Highway so my spider sense was tingling, but a brand new sky lounge is a place that I just cant ignore. Plus NO COVER! A full view and NO COVER? Too good to pass up.
The lobby of the casino is the receiving area, and you are taken to private elevators that shoot you straight up to the 16th Floor.
The decor is very nice and modern, with plush seating and couches. The lighting is soft and dark, just enough to make sure you see everything you need to see. The place is set up in a giant L shape with the bar near the dance floor and the DJ set up within viewing area of everyone at the Lounge.
Closer to the elevators are nice plush couches and booths, very open so you can see where everyone is at, so i would recommend against overt PDA.
The drinks are reasonably priced, 5 for beers, 6-8 for mixed drinks.
Enough servers and bartenders to satisfy and make sure the liquor is always flowing.
Now as for the crowd, well, its off the strip and at Boulder Highway.
We were all in our mid 20s and the youngest people there.
Most of the crowd were in their 30s and 40s, and a good 25% were in their 50s. This was on a Saturday Night around 11-2.
Its not a bad place to take your friends, just don''t expect to meet super models. There were a couple of girls who looked like they just got MAC makeovers, a few guys who were sporting the Tommy Bahama and some guys in typical collared shirts.
The DJ played top 40 with some old school thrown in for good measure, the song that got the most response from the crowd was Tone Loc's Wildthing. Yeah- Im Dead serious.
So here it is in a pinch:
PROS
Great View
Good Service
Great Layout
Dance floor and bar for the outgoing
Nice Lounge area for those looking to get Cozy
Outdoor seating Area for when the weather gets better
Great place for you and your buds when you just want to hang at a nice
lounge without the ridiculous price
No Typical club douche bags or trendy hipsters who are too cool to do anything other than sit and clog up the bar with their Mojitos.
CONS
Not as lively as other places
Not a pickup joint per se
The Crowd tends to be older (not that much of a con, but if your looking for the young and the restless you might want to look somewhere else.)
I would recommend this place to anyone, but with a few caveats. Its not bad, but I think I was just looking for something livelier. I will definitely be back during those nights when I just want a good cheap drink at a nice place and chill out with a strip view.
