| - After our post-wedding dinner at Giorrgio's Cafe we headed over to the many restaurants/bars in Mandalay Bay. The bride had been told about a bar and said we must go find it, and well, whatever the bride wants, the bride gets on her wedding day! We entered Red Square ready to toast the happy couple Russian-style (meaning with plenty of vodka).
After being greeted by the super sweet host who told us we could sit wherever we wanted with a big ol' grin on his face and many congratulations to our friends we found ourselves right in front of the bar and tried to get our eyes adjusted to the red light. From where we were sitting you could feel the cold coming off the ice-topped bar which we would've loved to have sat at but it was full. The walls look like they have been half-torn down and are covered with old propaganda posters -- gotta love Vegas theme-bars! It was all looking good for us, that is, until "bitter waitress" came to our table....sigh....
"Bitter waitress" just couldn't seem to get her attitude straight the whole time we were there and I can't explain how much service adds to your opinion of this place. I am just gonna say this one time:
*People in the service industry -- I don't care if this isn't your "real" job and you are really an actor/writer/director/painter/musician/dancer with a heart of gold - whatever. When you are at your place of work please remember you are an employee there, you are at a job and you really really should take whatever job you have been given seriously. If you don't like doing it, do something else! Think of it this way -- this job, this "thing I don't really do, I'm really a ----" is paying for you to be able to be a -----. Be grateful! Do not be bitter or stupid and waste my experience and money with your sour attitude. Be responsible, be an adult - be good at your job! It's not rocket science.*
.......
OK! Sorry! *Steps down off the Lenin statue* Back to the real review....
We had two flights - the USSR and the Best of the Motherland. Eight shots total for a group of six and we all just passed each one around and tasted with a sip or so. Actually, if you do it that way it ends up being a pretty good deal as the flights are in the forty to fifty dollar range. Then my group decided to get a couple more drinks and all in all the bill was about $100. Not bad, not bad at all! One drink in particular, their apple martini, was made with whiskey, not vodka and I will tell you what - it converted me! Honestly, it changes the flavor of the drink and for me personally its for the better. (and it is always a hard fight whether I am more in love with whiskey or vodka at the moment)
I found a couple new vodkas I loved, ( I would love to share, but the website doesn't have a menu) we started the night off right for the newlyweds and although we missed the vodka room (where I guess you get to wear furs and do shots) I would say Red Square did us right --
Spasibo!
