i've walked past the Deuce many times but have never gone inside until recently. The space looks small from the outside on the casino floor, but has a very wide open layout with high ceilings once inside. The place started to get hopping just after midnight as they do have a live DJ on site.
I feel the interior matches well with ARIA but is still hip and fresh. They do offer a few table games although the limit of $50 was a little to rich for my blood (only a handful of people were playing).
I don't do lounges on the strip a lot, but I could see coming to Deuce again, especially since it's very close to the self-parking garage!
