| - Sometimes I just want to sit my butt down (in the sun) and have a couple of drinks. The kind of drinks that are delicious in the present, but will enable me to nap real good in the near future. Tasty and not weak.. that is all I ask for.
We've spent quite a bit of time here, me in the sun and he anywhere but in the sun. The furniture is just so comfortable here, and the umbrellas provide shade for people with an aversion to the sun (ahem). I noticed misters as well as heaters, so this place should be great anytime and during most any weather.
The bar/lounge area itself is fairly small, it worked out well during daytime but I can imagine it gets packed quickly at night. The music here is a superb mixture of hip hop and deep house, not sure how they pull it off but I'll take it. Since the place is offset off the strip there isn't a whole lot of people watching to be had, but at the same token that makes it nice and quiet-ish (for Vegas).
Drink wise I stuck to two varieties, both slightly herby and not very sweet. Sweet drinks and I do not jive, an important lesson which I've learned after a particularly unfortunate mai tai incident. So if you're like me and you too avoid anything that's sweet and alcoholic (for whatever reason), then I recommend the cucumber cooler and the lemongrass basil caipirinha. Both these drinks were refreshing, well balanced and poured generously.
