| - Meh. This place was okay. Beautiful decor, lots of red and a trippy wall of bottles with light effects. My travel companion went to bed early, so I got to use two of the free drink coupons that they give you when you check into the MGM Grand, and got three drinks for the price of one, which was nice. All of the drinks were strong and tasty -- I got a lemon drop, a French 75 martini, and I can't remember the last one (big surprise).
The music was good, loud without being obnoxious, but holy crap was this place crowded. Demographic: 20somethings and 30somethings. I was there for my 21st birthday, so I felt comfortable. I started out wedged into the corner, figured out that service was NOT going to happen if I was hidden back there and bellied up to the bar to wait for a seat. I finally got one, but I also got a lot of other girls giving me "hurt puppy" eyes and making whiny requests ("My friend and I want to sit together, pleeeeeease will you move?"). Jeez. A little entitled, much? Not trying to be a bitch, hon, but I had just as hard of a time finding seating as you did *shrugs*.
Anyway, the clubbing crowd was gone by midnight. Once that happens, Rouge is a classy bar to relax and end the night in.
