| - I've generally loved Bills, since they transformed from Barbary Coast in 2007. They have cheap tables and rooms (even if the drinks are overpriced).
We came for my birthday on Sunday, July 22. We played blackjack in the afternoon, and our dealer AND pitboss both recommended that we show up for the karaoke that evening. They mentioned the stage and talked it up. I was pretty excited to bring my friends back that evening to check it out.
Me and a friend put our names in, and tipped the guy $5. He didn't acknowledge either of us directly or thank us for the tip.
When I went to the bathroom, apparently my name was called. My friends texted me. I ran back over to the area. I was told that I missed my turn, but they'd work me back in.
An hour passed by, with no luck. After I saw one of the locals come up to sing their second song I came back to speak to the guy running the karaoke (Robert?). He told me that my slip had been removed, and he could work it back in.
I did not get to sing, even after waiting for another hour. It's frustrating that we brought a large group for my birthday, purchased drinks, and were pleasant to other singers to be dismissed so readily for the other locals.
I could expect that on a bar off of the strip. In a place on the Vegas strip I'd expect things to be different.
On a sidenote, if you're a Vegas local this spot may be perfect for you!
