| - Count Vamp'd is the old Feelgoods in Vegas that was opened by investors with Vince Neil of Motley Crue being a minority investor and marketer. Once Neil got divorced he had to sell his stake in the business and the name had to change. Vamp'd is a dracula-themed rock club, bar/restaurant. Yes, it's all those things. Unfortunately, I have not caught a show there yet so I cannot speak to the concert setup or sound. I do know they attract national to local acts, George Lynch probably the biggest name that hits there regularly, and local Vegas Iron Maiden tribute band 'Aces High' is also a regular. The bar itself is very cool, has lots of guitars behind glass, cool decor, and rock-star type memorabilia.
In terms of food, Vamp'd markets its pizza as a big attraction and it is not bad especially for bar pizza. Sandwiches are good, service is good, beer is cold. (Bottled beer seems to be colder in Vegas than my own area of NJ, probably because they keep the refrig temps lower to counter the heat.) Bartenders are friendly and talkative, the place is dead until later at night and from what I understand only happens on certain nights. Prices are reasonable, the menu is what you would expect - except for the 'free range chicken' options. LOL, nevertheless, I enjoy stopping in there for a few cold ones and a bite to eat when I'm traveling to Vegas. Probably a great place to see a show, drop in for happy hour or on Sat nite. Nice to see some traditional rock clubs are managing to stay in business despite the economy and ever-changing music scene - and not for the better! Vamp'd is definitely recommended.
