| - This place is a shadow of the original PKWY on Flamingo. That's not necessarily a bad thing but I think in this case it may be but I guess it all depends on what you come here looking for. The original definitely isn't for everyone and I can safely say I only enjoyed it a few of the times I had been there. I believe people went to the original PKWY to get hammered, to be around smoking hot college chicks (even though they were accompanied by endless hordes of college douches), to have a good selection of beer, and all in all forget about their current problems.
This location is different. Although it is in a nice, spacious building, the atmosphere is totally different. They still have the same large beer list and some over-sized games but that's about it. There weren't throngs of people mingling and getting hammered. The whole thing felt turned down a notch on every level. It seemed more like an over-sized PT's than anything. "PT's isn't bad though", you say; "it's a cool local place to grab a drink and some food". Yes, that's true, but that's not PKWY to me. PKWY is the Vegas embodiment of a college bar where kids go to lay off steam, get wild, be seen, and have a good time. This place, especially on a Saturday night in summer, was not that.
This review is less about the actual place and more about the people in it, their vivacity or rather lack there of, and honestly, the people are what set the original PKWY apart from every other bar in Vegas. Idk if it is because of the location or what but it just wasn't the same. Maybe it was I who was just in a funk that night and not really feeling it. That being said, I will have to give it another try but for now, there's not really anything special about this place, just a memory of what it's not.
