We stayed at the Aria but randomly ended up at this delightful Bar at Times Square twice in two days. First, we took in a $7 draft beer and some NFL on their dozen+ TVs - fun and festive atmosphere, less crowded and less cigarette smoke than other sports bars we'd passed. Laid back refuge from the Vegas scene, the kind of place we like to hang out at home.
The following night, we checked out some Dueling Pianos. Now, I love a piano bar, and it's much more "our scene" than a Vegas club. But having arrived late, and not wanting to pay cover or fight for space inside, the four of us took in the festivity, music and drinks from the fictitious streets of New York, just beyond the bar's outer counters. These guys were talented and had the crowd pumped up as they performed favorites from Shout to Call Me Maybe to Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Serious fun. My favorite of four nights in Vegas.
