| - To be honest, this review is just as much about the adjoining section of blackjack tables as it is about the bar itself. And to be a little more honest, this review is just as much of an opportunity to talk about the bar and tables as it is to mention that some of the "BOND Girls" are really, really hot!
Although BOND's size may be modest (there are some seats circling the bar, but not much in the way of tables), the décor isn't - chic and trendy, which is what you'd expect of a Cosmopolitan bar. At the same time, the vibe is pretty relaxed and I thought the drinks were well made. Prices might be a little high, but they seem in line with other bars on The Strip. Bonus points too for having a live DJ at night, even though there isn't really a defined dance floor (my friends made do).
As far as the tables go, they're among my favorites on the Strip. I've had better luck elsewhere, but it's hard to beat single deck blackjack with $10 limits. Especially when it's manned (womanned?) by some pretty attractive dealers; it (almost) makes losing money easier to take! And if that's still not enough, the close proximity to the bar means servers will come by that much more often to help drown any sorrows away.
Whether you're here for the gambling, drinking, or merely waiting for your table at The Henry across the way, BOND is a pretty chill spot to chat and people watch with friends. Just ask the group of douchey frat guys who were standing off to the side for over half an hour, mesmerized by the synchronized dancers performing on the platforms.
Talk about creepy...
