| - THE STORY & SERVICE EXPERIENCE
Ok, so I had just visited the museum, BODIES...The Exhibition, walked around and took pics of the Luxor, the shoppes at Mandalay, and the Mandalay (of the parking lot and window of the shooting 3 hours before the shooting), and my feet were sore, so I found the bar closest to my vibe and sat down.
In retrospect, it all makes sense, but at the time, I was supposed to be at The Cosmopolitan, and was only at the Luxor because of BODIES...The Exhibition, and had no idea about the country music extravaganza, Route 91 Harvest Music Festival.
So, you've seen what I look like, and at that time, I was wearing a semi-casual white dress and heels at the Public House in the Luxor, one hour before the country concert, and I still didn't know about the country thingy.
Everyone around me was wearing jean shorts and cowboy hats, and kept asking me if I was the Dolly Parton impersonator, and all I kept thinking was how downhill the Luxor had become since the last time I stayed there.
The bartender, Chad, came over and I ordered a Bloody Mary and I asked him what he thought was good. He suggested their pulled pork tacos, which I ordered, and they were AMAZING!!
Chad told me he had to go work the other part of the bar, and for about 10 minutes, there wasn't a bartender.
Meanwhile, the six guys sitting next to me, who were there for their friend's bachelor party, and who had previously divulged they were "in law enforcement," (yes, I saw their badges), mentioned they were tired of waiting for their bill, and they were going to just bounce on their tab. I laughed and told them Chad was going to be right back, but whatever.
Then a new bartender, Aaron, showed up, and the six cops paid their bill. I figured that was a good time to head over to the bathroom, and told everyone, "I'll be right back."
Aaron, the bartender, told me to STOP, and give him TWO forms of ID and my credit card before he'd "allow" me to go to the bathroom. OK WHAT?!?
I'd been sitting there talking with countless guests, just basically stopped six guys from bailing on their bill, and I wasn't going to be "allowed" to go pee unless I showed TWO forms of ID and a credit card?!?!
Real classy, Aaron, but whatever ahahahaha
I gave him my passport, my global entry pass, my Arizona driver's license AND my AMEX platinum card and went pee.
Eventually Aaron left, Chad came back, and I had another beer, and I eventually headed out; not before talking to the manager about the incident, maybe why the Public House has only 3 Stars on Yelp, and discussed social media in general.
Needless to say, the manager was VERY friendly and we laughed about it.
30 minutes later, 150 people, probably some of the people I spoke with over the afternoon, were shot and killed/injured 20 feet from that bar.
At this point in most of my reviews, I usually tell a little about the history of the establishment, and little tidbits I learned whilst being there, but I'm not going to research the place.
CONCLUSION
It's a nice place.
Chad's Bloody Mary's were OUT OF THIS WORLD! The pulled pork tacos were super YUMMY!
The TV screens are impressive, as is the bar, and I'm sure there's plenty of turn over in staff.
Chad and Luis were EXCELLENT bartenders!
The manager was super sweet.
Just make sure you bring ID if you want to use the restroom.
4/5 RECOMMEND
