| - This bar is less like James Bond and more like Austin Powers.
When I think of James Bond, I think of something sauve, understated, elegant. The Bond bar at the Cosmopolitan definitely isn't any of those things.
On the other hand, if you're looking for a joint that's raucous, blinged-out, fairly tacky, and (dare I say?) a little shaggadelic, the Bond bar might be the place for you.
Located right at the entrance to the Cosmopolitan, with huge windows looking right onto the Strip sidewalk, Bond gets lots of foot traffic and lookie-loos. Can you blame it? This place has enough lights and go-go dancers to make even the most jaded Vegas tourist feel giddy.
Bond is a great nightlife alternative to the Vegas megaclubs. Bond has deejays most nights, as well as bottle service for those who want it, but there are no bouncers or cover charges or guest lists to deal with here. Just stroll on in and make yourself comfortable. (Unfortunately, even here, the bar is tainted with those obnoxious video slots... sigh.)
Drinks are solid, and prices are reasonable. I had a few gin and sodas, and all packed a nice punch. There are froofier cocktails available, but I prefer the Chandelier bar for that sort of thing.
The crowd is *very* friendly. Some drunk girl thought I was Josh Radnor and asked me to father her children. I was flattered, but not interested.
(FYI... She was less like Pussy Galore and more like Alotta Vagina.)
