| - A friend and I decided to see what Las Vegas has to offer in terms of hookah bars. We went to several of them all over the city and this is probably the one that I would recommend to anyone visiting Sin City.
The Lounge: The lounge itself is fairly small. There's enough seat for maybe about 50-60 people. The first thing we noticed when we first walked in is the fact that it was smokey. Yes its a hookah lounge, but out here in Los Angeles, we use proper ventilation in our hookah bars, especially if it's an indoor one. The walls were painted burgundy/red and there's a couple of flat screen TV's. The place is lit by black lights, which is nice, except when you see the dirt and stains on the couch that you are sitting on (YUCK). There were also several holes on the couch that we were sitting on, most likely from the aftermath of a charcoal accident.
The service: The service is not bad. The menu is fairly simple. They only serve hookah and some drinks, no food or anything else. Since we already knew what flavor to get, we just ordered and a few minutes later, our hookah arrived. First thing I noticed is that they place the hookah on top of the coffee table, which is fine but normally hookah's are place on the floor so that when an accident does occur, the charcoal will most likely land on the floor rather than landing on someone's lap or other body parts. The server was not very attentive at all. For the most part they walked past us and didn't notice that we needed new charcoal or to see if we needed something else. They were more interested in chatting up with their locals, which is fine but way to make an impression to other customers. The only saving grace is that I chatted up one of the employees named Manny, he is a stand up guy and I'm glad I was able to talk with him. The place can definitely use some revamping (Hey I can consult, I know what works and doesn't work for a hookah bar).
The Hookah: I'm glad that this place actually uses Starbuzz and other flavors because it doesn't seem like the rest of the hookah bars in Vegas are familiar with this brand. Pretty nice selection nargile flavors, I don't really have much to say in this department other than they have a larger selection of premium flavored tobacco. Try mixing and matching flavors, add a hint of mint and you'll be amazed.
Ambiance: You like hookah? house music? dubstep? well this place has them all and they play it LOUD! It's not really relaxing because of the loud music but if you like it, then this place definitely has it.
Overall: Pretty decent place, definitely made for locals in my opinion. If you ever find yourself in Las Vegas and want to chill at a hookah bar, well this is probably the only place that I'd recommend. Definitely not a place to take someone that you are interested in because you won't have much of a conversation, but if you and your friends want to listen to some great music and smoke hookah, then this is it. I will definitely come back to this place when I'm in town again. It can use a lot of improvement but it's not bad.
