| - The Chandelier was a must experience on my trip to Vegas. I found that the atmosphere was just as beautiful as the pictures, but lacked any pretentious vibe that I had been worried about. I felt like I was in an old time movie as we sat below the chandelier and ordered our drinks. The bartender definitely turned bar-tending into an art form. I overheard him ask a couple, "Which flavors do you like? Salty, sweet, spicy?" He then made them two custom drinks on the spot, so impressed with this. I really wanted to try the Film Noir cocktail which has movie theater butter in it and was garnished with popcorn (because I'm a popcorn fiend) but I was nervous that the taste would be so specific or strange that I wouldn't drink it. Anyone who has tried it, let me know! I saw our bartender making a Smores/Campfire martini and I ordered that (not on the menu.) It was one of those chocolately martinis and he roasts whipped cream on top which was awesome. It was a great drink and a decent size but SO strong. I was fairly drunk off of half of the drink which is hilarious and unlike me. My friend ordered a "secret" drink called the Flower Bomb. It's probably on the secret menu because it's illegal and causes paralysis of the tongue. Bartender tells my friend, "You chew on the flower in the glass for 20 seconds and it does some interesting things to the tongue." He wouldn't tell us what. I suspected maybe temporarily change the tongue's color. Friend suspected maybe changes the taste of the drink. All that wound up happening was that her tongue went incredibly numb, felt prickly and bubbly, and she couldn't taste her drink for a while. Could have went to my dentist and gotten a minor surgery to feel that way! Bartender was very nice, but also was rushing around and did not have time to answer questions about the drinks on the menu which was annoying because many of the drinks were unique and unheard of. Before I spend the money I'd like to know what I'm getting! Definitely come here for the atmosphere, some pictures, and some really out there and different drinks! Found this place to be outstanding, but kind of over-hyped.
