| - After Krave's birth, death, resurrection, death, rebirth, and death once again, I think it's fair to say that the Strip was overdue for a new gay nightclub...
That's where Liaison stepped in.
Liaison is unique in that it's right in the heart of a major Strip casino -- albeit not the trendiest or the shiniest on the block (Bally's). But at least the location is nice and central.
I dropped by Liaison on Vegas Pride weekend, expecting out-of-control crowds and cover charges. None of that happened -- when I arrived around 11:30pm, the friendly bouncer just waved me inside, and I didn't pay a dime.
The interior is quite lovely. It has a retro vibe with lots of paintings and detail that's to be expected of a Drai's property. Bartenders are fast and friendly, and drink prices are pretty average for the area ($10 for a gin and soda). The music is mostly non-danceable EDM that everybody except me seems to enjoy.
There are two main areas (front and back) with a little corridor between them. When one area is busy, the other one is dead. Too bad Liaison can't attract enough of a crowd to fill up both spaces. A half-empty nightclub is good for nobody -- and on Pride weekend, no less? Yikes.
Hopefully with some good promotion and a few months for it to develop a loyal following, Liaison will finally be able to fill the void that Krave left behind.
