I went to the Lounge at the Palms to see Rick Faugno, who formerly played the part of Frankie Valli in Jersey Boys at the Venetian. The lounge is a perfect, small venue for this kind of entertainment. There were probably a hundred people there.
It's an intimate room. I do have to agree with other comments about how close the seating is. The cocktail waitress, a very slim, pretty thing, had a hard time navigating through the chair and table maze. Faugno at one time, when he came into the audience, got himself blocked from returning to the stage until he figured an alternate route out of the maze.
The lighting and sound were done very well and enhanced the performance.
I have one major complaint--the price of drinks. I realize where I live and I know the Palms is a "hot spot" for the young things, but $4 for a bottle of water! I should have gotten a free water from a waitress in the casino and given her a good tip. It would have been 1/2+ less than what I paid in the showroom. That's almost nightclub kind of pricing.
I'd come back to the Lounge given the entertainment was appealing to me. But, I've learned a few things, and I'd make my visit a better experience!
