| - This review is strictly for the karaoke and drinks. I'm a karaoke fiend. I've sang karaoke all over America. Some cities embrace it while others ignore it, and relegate it to middle-aged off-key drunks who sound worse than two cats getting busy. I went here three times. The weather is nicer in September. There is no way in hell I'd come here in July or August. The drinks are cheaper than most Strip casinos at $4/Miller Lite so that's a good point. The bad point is that it costs $5 to sign up for karaoke (and I tip $1 a song). I'm not sure if anyone else tips, but that $1/song doesn't get you anywhere up the list faster. If you arrive and there are 20 people there, guaranteed, half have not sung and want to, so get ready to sit for 10 songs. I would say half are actually very good singers which is pretty good for a karaoke place and there were only about 1 in 5 that made my beer curl. There weren't hardly any single women by themselves, which is like a theme in Vegas. In fact, I would bet, there are more single women by themselves at bars who are working (prostitutes) as opposed to just single women out to have a good time. There aren't even those pair of women. Vegas, the women walk around in herds. But then again, a lot of guys do too.
The crowd is mixed. It's not a club scene folks. We're talking a few young folk, a lot of middle-aged folk, a few old folk. The bartenders were very prompt (unlike Fat Bar) and they were ten times friendlier than at Fat Bar down the way. I gave Fat Bar one star FYI. Since it's an outdoor bar, it's safe so a lot of women come here which does not occur with karaoke in dive bars. I always thought karaoke right on the Strip outdoors would be cool, and I guess they read my mind.
