After a busy work day and a 4-hour flight, I needed a cocktail and Monkey Bar was the closest to me. It was a busy bar - mostly full with people at the bar and the nearby tables. While not a large space, it's a nice size for a hotel bar and the openness of it is appealing. There is great people watching while relaxing in a booth, chair or high top stool.
The servers I had at the bar were great as well as the one floor server. I was a bit surprised because Vegas bar staff is usually awful, but these people were fairly attentive and quick to serve. My cousin and I sat at a table and had a couple of drinks with no rush or hassle to give up our table.
So yeah, I didn't notice the pictures of monkeys in suits until after I'd ordered my cocktail, but they are there and they are odd. I guess the idea of Monkey Bar is that cool monkeys would drink there and smoke fine cigars.
