| - The Gold Lounge is adjacent to the Viva Elvis theater (http://www.yelp.com/biz/cirque-du-soleil---viva-elvis-las-vegas#hrid:4AnaBZgo6J3ichCpap8UJQ).
Be sure to pick up your Viva Elvis tickets from will call a little while before your show time. You should receive BOGO drink coupons to the Gold Lounge with your tickets. However, don't get too excited about the five Elvis-inspired signature drinks they advertise on the sign outside the lounge. Although it says NOTHING about any type of exclusions on the coupon, these specialty cocktails are not included in the offer.
After getting flustered and disappointed because I couldn't order a "Graceland" or whatever, we settled for a few beers that I could technically order anywhere else. The server returned to our table first with our bill, followed by her "busser". Hmm, apparently a few bottles of beer needed to be brought out on a platter with a fancy cloth by two people. And guess what? That means the bill had two lines for gratuity (one for the server, one for the busser). Wowzers. I realize this is a fancy-schmancy lounge, but jeez. I think one person could have accomplished the job and been tipped appropriately.
The bottles of beer were $9 each (+ tax). That's right, tax. Anyway, not bad at BOGO, but questionable without the coupon.
The one cool thing about this place is you're allowed/encouraged to grab your cocktails here and take them into the show. You may be asked to pour your drink into a plastic cup if you have glass though, which is also kind of lame.
