| - This is for the City Bar that is located at the entrance of the pedestrian bridge from New York New York on the right hand side. This place is so secretive it's not even located on MGM's property map!
It's this teeny tiny bar that has jello shots, and about 3 years ago my girlfriends and I stumbled across this. I hear a woman's voice booming from the other side of the bar; "Whadda you ladies want?" She is abrupt but welcoming, seems very no nonsense, and you feel strangely drawn to her. Then it dawned on me ~ "Oh my God, you have got to be from Chicago, huh?" She screams back in that nasal accent, "Yeah! Hey! Are you girls from Chicago too?" I fell in love with this woman! She comes over with a TRAY of different colored jello shots like she's selling car stereos. She gives a description of each flavor and the ingredient list, and she speaks of each of them with such passion. I never knew there was a connoisseur of jello shots, until that day.
So each time I go to Vegas I make a special trip to see Lisa and have one of her famous jello shots. She comes and hugs me each time, and even remembers my name! I feel like I'm at Cheers or something (please keep in mind I only visit Vegas every 3 to 6 months!)
So I took a special trip to see Lisa last night, and instantly heard her voice when the sliding door opened coming off the foot bridge. I almost started crying, I was so happy to see her! So, 3 jello shots, a beer, and two new friends later, I went on my merry way ....
Now THAT'S a bartender!
(oh, hotel is nice too)
