| - If you ever wanted to learn how to paint or just want to brush up on your art skills, then this is the place to do it!
Took my wife and two boys (ages 9 and 12) to this place so we can spend some family time together. They are located inside the Orleans Casino right across from the buffet. None of us knew anything about painting so we all had mixed feelings in regards to doing what we were about to do.
I found out about this place through one of my Yelp buddies and decided to check it out. So I called them up to get more info. They told me what days and times were available so I chose a 4 pm session on a Sunday afternoon. We showed up and checked in just right before 4. We were directed to grab an apron and was given a paper plate. Then we went over to a table there were different color paints in big bottles with pumps in them. We were told to get at least 5 pumps of yellow, white, red, blue, and green.
After all that each of us were assigned an easel with a blank canvas. Different sized paint brushes were already there waiting for us to use. Then an instructor comes up onstage to instruct us how to paint a particular painting that is being displayed up on stage with them. They told us step by step how to get our painting started while painting it on their own canvas. After every set of instructions, they would play music while you are working on that segment.
A couple times you will take 10 to 15 minute breaks so you can relax a bit and also let the paint dry so you can fill it in some more. During those breaks are when you should go to the bathroom which is just outside of the entrance to you right if you are coming out. There is also a photo booth set up with costumes ready to go for those that want to look goofy. You have the option of having those pics taken emailed to your facebook account for free or pay for them to print it out so you can take it home right then and there. I think it was a dollar for every pic you wanted printed out.
Lastly, towards the end of finishing your beautiful masterpiece, you will be doing a little bit of line dancing followed by a quick breakdance routine by Jef, one of the instructors. When everything is done, you get to take your masterpiece home with you and you can do whatever you want with it.
Prices are 45 dollars per person. At the time of this review, I think there is a groupon for this place so take full advantage of it before it is gone.
The reason why they are called Buzz n Brushes is because they actually have a full bar where you can purchase alcoholic drinks hence the buzz. Im pretty sure some people paint even better when they're drunk. There is also a full kitchen where you can order pizza and sandwiches.
In closing I had to take 1 star away because some of the music they play are not the clean versions and since I had my kids with me, that is a must. Other than that, I had some good quality time spent with the family. You are looking at about 2 1/2 hours from start to finish so plan accordingly.
