| - Boring and over priced on a Friday night. I'll state up front that I can afford this place, we are not the demographic, but if this is what the 21-35 singles have to experience for nightlife at the SLS, Yikes, I feel sorry for them! We got there at 10:45pm and the crowd started arriving. A DJ was doing a good job on the turntable (or mp3 player), but there was no dance floor, so everyone was standing around. We saw that a band was setting up and thought we would hang out. I went to get a couple of drinks and learned they quickly it cost me $36 (way over priced) and my signature "Old Fashion" only filled the glass half way. We sat on one of the comfortable couches only to be kicked off by a bouncer. That's fine, but if the couches are for VIP's or reserved, put a card on the table or tell people when they go in. So we went outside where there was enough outdoor furniture and attempted to have a conversation, but within 5 minutes another bouncer came over and told everyone that the patio was being closed and to go inside. So now the place is crowded and we are left standing. After 15 minutes and milking our drinks, I wondered where the band was. When I asked a bouncer, he said they would be out at 11:30pm. So we thought we would wait another 15 minutes, then 20, then 25, and at 11:45 we asked a bartender where the band was. He said they would come out whenever they felt like it, but are suppose to play a quick set by 12:30. I was already bored and all there was to do is watch everyone trying to talk over the loud music. I never saw anyone getting a second drink, and some guys weren't touching their drinks for over 20 minutes. Others were suckers and bought girls drinks, and all the girls had to do was take selfies with the guys. Total Suckers! By midnight we left, I couldn't take it anymore. I would have had more fun blowing my $36 dollars in 10 minutes on the slots or at craps. This was a total waste of time and money, and I could afford this place. If you have deep pockets to burn through money you don't care about, while you sit or stand listening to music. If that defines fun for you. Enjoy.
