I went to Eye Candy on a Saturday night. The original plan was actually to go up to Mix on top of Mandalay Bay, but I wasn't feeling very good that night because I partied a little too hard the nights previous which was my own fault. So we decided to go to Eye Candy since there was no cover which was good because of my uncertain status on whether I was going to stay out or not.
The bar is sorta smack middle of the casino so you can't really miss it and it seems to have a decent amount of people. We get a little booth in the corner and my buddies start ordering drinks and I just get a water and take some medicine. The lounge itself is a couple few stair steps above the casino floor and is basically one big square.. It's dark and the DJ is mixing music videos - YES! Music videos! Very original idea. There's a huge screen where everyone can watch it. The videos were cool and there was a nice decent mix of different genres he was playing. I started feeling better in a bit and finally started getting into it. But the place got boring real quick.
I was a bit turned off by the crowd. I mean.. I didn't expect a beautiful crowd like I did in most clubs. This place didn't have a dress code or anything, but it had sort of a trashy feeling to it. I even thought a few of the girls hanging out there were hookers. I could be wrong. But hey.. Don't be surprised.. they're all over the place in Vegas.
Great idea, decent decor... But overall, it was just kinda blah... If you come with a good group, it might be a good socializing spot for an hour or so.. But then it's time to move on..
