You gots to go the bank before you hit The Bank.
I am not kidding.
1st round: Belvedere Pineapple and Red Bull Vodka. They use top shelf liquor for wells, and the balance due was a whopping $33! It's $14 per drink, plus [get ready] an additional $5 charge for the "Red Bull Bump".
Fine, charge me for the Red Bull, but at least give me the rest of the damn can!
I've been to Light twice before and it was fantastic, and did not have this $18 drink average bullshit. Maybe they are trying to put a dent in that remodeling budget by pulling in a few extra bucks from patrons looking to get drunk.
I am a complete featherweight, you can call me 2 drink Sally but 1.5 is more accurate. I got tipsy off a champagne celebratory toast earlier that night. Yet 3 drinks later, I'm still sober? Either the drinks are exceedingly light on the alcohol [and for $14!] or I developed a tolerance in record time!
Redeeming Factors:
1.) No waiting in line or cover. Upon entering the hotel, a suit handed us "Golden Ticket" passes for complimentary admission with front of line priveleges.
2.) The music was really decent, and a group of nice boys let us sit at their table next to the dance floor when we were having technical problems with the shoes.
3.) Crowd is mature and responsible, no drunk frat boys or Girls Gone Wild skanks in here.
