This place is another fancy spot Downtown and is part of the upscaling of the area. As part of that gentrification they have a no-bag policy which in theory is fine, although if you are trying to create a walkable neighborhood or one where cars are not the primary way of getting around, then this doesn't work without some sorta bag/coat check. Planning a bar crawl downtown we took the Deuce to get downtown and had messenger bags with a camera and some other stuff inside (jacket, anticipating a late night and cooler temps). Well when we arrived they said there was no check or anything we could do. Not wanting to go all the way back to the Venetian, we just skipped out.
On another visit (sans bags) we had a beer. The staff didn't actually seem to know too much about styles, etc, which was fine since we had our phones, but they probably should have a little more education on what they're serving. I'm sure they'll fix these things as they get into their groove (at least I hope so).
Looking forward to another visit once it warms up some more...
