I heard about the Circle Bar on the Highway radio station on the way to Vegas. Happy hour on Saturday from 4pm-8pm...Wait what the? Happy hours on the weekends in Socal are completely unheard of! So I decided to pay a visit here.
I must say it wasn't something truly spectacular, but I do love the convenience of being in the middle of the casino floor and looking on to the traffic in the entire casino. If you have never been to the Hard Rock, the entire casino is a circle and basically you are in the middle of it. The happy hour prices were decent for Vegas. I was able to get two goose drinks for under $18, which is a great deal. The music videos on screen do not match up with the music that is played in the club. It took me the longest time to figure that out. The bartender was quick to serve and was definitely friendly even though it was happy hour. Usually happy hour you expect cheeseball service, we did not get that here. The ceilings changing colors definitely makes for some good pictures without added photo shop special effects. Speaking of something special... I saw Katy Perry walk by with a bunch of flashing bulbs. I had to chug the rest and chase her down for some photos. I am guessing this is a typical night at the Hard Rock.
The Circle Bar is definitely worth the stop if you are there for a quick drink before a game, or a night of just some drunken good time.
