| - Was just here for my second time on Saturday and all I can say is this place is too cool for school. The Vegas strip casino for all you hipsters out there. I mean i heard this place was going for the younger, chic crowd, and they nailed it for sure. Both times I was there it seemed no one looks over 40 in this place, unless they are working there. I mean it had the young crowd of the Palms and HardRock, but without the Barbie and Ken types that make those places annoying.
First time i was there, I went for the Black Keys show back on feb. 20th, while the venue itself, the Chelsea was just a ballroom with bars on the side, the show was great, but not rating that here though. Walked around before the show and was just amazed by design and architecture of the whole place. Got drunk at the show off Glenmorganie Scotch for $10 a drink, which is reasonable. Went home, happy times.
On Saturday I was back to there Book and Stage bar. My buddy told me of a free show for Robert Randolph & The Family Band. Pulled into self parking, which is very cool in itself, all floors have a sign showing you the number of spots left on that floor, and have arrows pointing you to where the spots are, because sensors are above every space, knowing whether its open or closed, then all the elevators have murals by famous graffiti artists, but I digress.
Had a great time at the Book and Stage, Robert Randolph & The Family Band put on an awesome show, but best part was the beer selection. It was amazing, I had a Dogfish Head 90 minute IPA and a Trappistes Rochefort 8 for $7 each. You can hardly find the Trappistes for under $4 in a liquor store, if they even have it. So to have it at your center bar, for $7 during a free concert, well you get 5 stars for the whole hotel just for that.
