| - Family is in town for Thanksgiving and finally 99% of my cousins are 21 and over which means... PARTY!!! I had so many ideas of where to take them but didn't want to spend too much money. All I know is that I didn't want to go to any clubs last night, I wasn't feeling that scene. I considered a spot where there was live band but I have yet to find one where I'm confident to take people to. A light bulb tinged above my head and I had an idea that a lounge with music was going to work for us. There were a total of 10 in our group so I had to be quick with a spot for everyone to meet at.
Luckily, my old clubbing partner suggested a new spot called EyeCandy Sound Lounge at Mandalay Bay. I figured why not? So, after long hours of getting ready, we finally jetted off to Mandalay Bay. To get there from the parking lot you have to pass Rumjungle and a bar. It's in the middle of the Casino so you really can't miss it. Once you walk in, you'll notice the use of different color lighting in each section of the Lounge. You wouldn't think that the different color lighting would actually work but it definitely gave a warm feeling and comfortable feeling to the whole scene.
By the time we got there it wasn't crowded so that was a good thing coz that means more seats for us. Because of the amount of people that were in our group we had to join two tables together and add more chairs since the set up was for 4-5 people per table. By the end of it all, there were a total of 14 people in our party. It was good they weren't so strict about us redecorating a section. There were two sections to the Lounge, one was the lounge area and the second was the dance floor. So, if you're bored with who ever you're talking to you can get up and just shake it off. The dance floor was a good amount of space but the people that were there were a little older crowd. So if you're 21 and you're looking for a young crowd. This isn't the place to go. But for my age group of being late 20's and early 30's, it's a good spot. Music was a variety of 80's, 90's and 2000's and was just set at a perfect volume that my party had the opportunity to talk to one another and carry a conversation while drinking.
Speaking of which, drinks were easy to order as our host was prompt with serving us. Sucky thing is that she wasn't an eyecandy. She was not very attractive and I had wish our server was a little bit more desirable to look at. Drinks were an average of $14. For that price it better be good. I ordered a Passion-Ginger Mojito and oh my gosh! It was the best Mojito I've ever had in my life. It kinda tasted like this Philippino drink called Calamansi Juice. I could go through that drink if I wasn't careful. My cousin decided to get a Honey Blossom which was served in a Martini glass. All I know is they hooked it up with all the alcohol. It's a very strong drink and good for those that want to get a quick buzz. Another drink I tasted was their signature drink called "Eye Candy". It's a drink that is served in a tall glass garnished with berries and sprinkled with white powdered sugar. It had a refreshing taste of berries which for most girls would be an awesome drink to order. The rest of the time we ordered shots. We came to realize how expensive drinks were.
It's definitely a club I had a lot of fun in but I think all the props go to the people I was with. If I had to go with one other person, I probably would not have as much fun and would just be bored. I definitely would not be comfortable coming here by myself. This is why I gave it 3 stars. It was only fun if you're with a big party. But then again, isn't that the whole concept of "The more the merrier" to where ever you go?
