I have been to The Chandelier several times since it opened and certainly recommend it if you are in the Cosmopolitan any evening.
It is expensive but very unique. As all the other reviews state-it's like you are IN a chandelier and the drink menu is fascinating. Service can be a little cold but overall is fine.
After reading all the craziness about the Verbena drink, I had to try one. It's only available on the 2nd level. Well-I followed the instructions of my bartender and sipped the drink first. I then consumed the flower, making sure I spread it around my mouth, then had more drink.
My mouth went tingly and mostly numb. It honestly felt like a dental procedure gone wrong! I'm not sure why anyone would like to do this but some guests were ordering extra flowers. One guest at the bar started to gag after they ate the flower. He was fine but clearly did not like the effect.
I will visit The Chandelier on my next trip but with all the other great drink options, I will certainly not order the Verbena again. After all, I have a dental appointment coming up later in the summer anyway.
