| - Not my ideal option for a weekend in Vegas, but for a weekday in Vegas in the summer? Oh yes, this place is pretty good for that.
Here's the key: This place is a restaurant right up until 10 PM. So if you're being particularly cheap (and quite honestly in Vegas, you have to cut corners where possible), get there around 9:30-9:45 PM, wait for them to convert to a club, get the re-entry stamp, and LOL at everyone in the line trying to get in while you go hit the poker room and come back at 12 AM. Honestly, there's no reason to pay for it if you don't have to.
Aside from that, it looks nice for a lounge. The location has probably been talked to death about, but it's pretty nice to have an open breeze (during summer only, obviously) and a straight view of the Bellagio fountains at night. Aside from that, drinks aren't cheap...it is what it is. You'd hope you can get cheaper because it's not a club, but HA not meant to be.
P.S. And you never know who you'll see here. I'm looking at some ugly-looking dude talking to some hot Asian VIP waitress, and my friend swears he's looking at Mesut Özil (for those uninformed, he plays for Real Madrid and Germany). I'm like...dude, NO WAY that's Özil. Five minutes later, I'm next to homie's table drinking my RBV, look over at him with his Avatar-bug eyes staring back at me, and I'm like "Holy SHIT, that IS Özil!" Well, least that made my night worth it hah. On a side note, for a top-level footballer, I've never seen a guy chain smoke so much lol.
