Seeing Michael Monge perform at the Eastside Lounge was the absolute highlight of my recent stay in Las Vegas! He has an amazing voice, and did a fantastic selection of classic songs. This is the kind of Las Vegas experience I want to have! Very classy and perhaps the most civilized thing to happen on the Strip! Thank you to Steve Wynn and to anyone else who decided to bring this type of entertainment back to Las Vegas! I cannot recommend enough that you should spend an evening at the Encore with the charming and talented Michael Monge!
One note..... You have to pay a $10 cover to sit in the lounge for the performance. Which is fair enough, as the show was well worth the price, and the band needs to get a paycheck after all! However, I noticed that this was probably hindering people from coming in.... I wish there was a larger audience for him, and there were a lot of people lurking around outside the lounge, listening and even dancing, but the $10 cover made them shy away from actually coming in and having a seat. Come on, folks! You all know that you were happy to lose $10 in a slot machine in about 17 seconds, and you will remember this show for far longer than those 4 times you pushed Max Bet and lost!!! :-D
