| - Rockhouse touts themselves as the only "ultra dive bar" on the strip and I would have to agree.
I am the kind of person that tends to gravitate towards the dives rather than the clubs. The vibe is just so much more fun and laid back. Extra bonus points if there is a game playing in the background!
After doing much research on where to spend New Year's Eve, we decided on Rockhouse. The idea of being ON the strip (instead of floors above in a hotel) and the fact that tickets were only $50 which included an open bar totally sealed the deal for me.
Was it upscale and swanky? Nope, but what dive bar is? I mean, who can say no to stripper poles, cages and tires hanging from the ceiling? The girls that work there are hot (which means awesome eye candy for the guys) and it's just an all-around fun place to party.
The only downside is you have to walk into the Imperial Palace to use the restroom. I did learn a shortcut though - instead of walking to the back of the casino, once you walk in the doors, take a left, hop into the elevator to the 5th floor and wa-la ... instant relief! Plus there is a bar there just in case you can't wait to get back inside Rockhouse.
The manager Grant was helpful (and cute) and the bouncers were cool.
All in all, we had an awesome time here on New Years. Added bonus was the fact that all we had to do was literally walk out the front door to see all the fireworks at midnight.
Rock on, Rockhouse.
P.S. Because they were expecting a large crowd that night, they had to remove all of the beer pong tables, but I thought it was a worthy mention. :) Who doesn't love a game of beer pong on the strip while in Vegas?
