| - I really wanted to like this place. I love Vegas nights and enjoying a place with a cool vibe, and roof-top seating... what could be better? Well I guess a lot.
ATMOSPHERE #4 Stars--Just dark enough with a cozy, hip feel. *More on this below.
DRINKS #2 Stars-- (they don't serve food but recommend their 'sister' place PARK on Freemont, across the street) so back to drinks. My guy likes dark beer. His first choice "they were out of", his second choice ordered, but the 'cute but poor server' bartender brought the wrong beer (not a dark brew). He was polite and did not say anything. I had red wine, cab I think. Nothing special AND OVERPRICED. I mean, Strip prices at what is suppose to be our NEW LOCAL friendly hang out area?
ROOFTOP ATMOSPHERE #4Stars-- BUT, NOT REALLY..... Like I said, I love Vegas nights. The day had been a stressful one and I thought this would be the perfect reason to try the rooftop at Commonwealth. We arrived around 10:30 pm, the bouncer/greeter said we could not go up on the roof because they had entertainment that was paid ticket admission only. He said we could go up after midnight. We said Ok then entered and had a drink at the bar. Then we left and went across the street to eat at the 'sister' place PARK. (see review).
Returned for our anticipated rooftop magic experience. VIEW nice, kinda a cozy place with misters..I kinda hate misters..but, I really hated the ones I sat under at Commonwealth. The little bench around the corner in a nice private setting had a mister over it that dripped large blobs of water on both of us, on my head and lap. Geez, no matter how I tried to ignore this it was a total MOOD KILLER. I could not leave fast enough. Sigh. Sorry to say, a disappointing experience at both Commonwealth and Park on Freemont.
