| - I found this bar accidentally, taking a shortcut through The Cosmopolitan on an escalator. I'm so glad I did! Definitely ride the escalator from the third floor down to the first to get the full sparkly effect, and then walk up the stairs in the bar itself. Second floor has the most seating.
Just the setting is unbelievable: you're completely surrounded by shimmering crystals, you feel like you are actually in a chandelier. I was a little concerned about being underdressed, because I just stopped in after a day of shopping: I was definitely not dressed for "going out." But it was totally fine, some girls were dressed up but for the most part it was just people in jeans, relaxing and having a few drinks.
So the drinks are definitely pricey. The specialty cocktails were all $12-$15, but I knew that going in. I love fancy cocktails and I wanted to try something new, so I asked the waitress what she recommended. She suggested the Bruce Tea, which I had already read about in other Yelp reviews, so I went for it. It was so good! It had a bunch of crazy ingredients, including matcha powder and peanut butter (?), but it really worked. A bit sweet, definitely you could taste the matcha and also a bit of ginger. Delicious.
Don't miss this bar, this was my favorite place on the Strip by far.
