| - This place definitely has a New York feel to it. I come here for the music. The location is in a glitzy part of the strip, so this place stands out as homage to the grudge, hip alternative scene in NY.
Everything inside is pretty nice. There is balcony for smoking and several bars and seated restaurant. The problem is that this place is in the strip. So what does that mean? It means there is a dude in the bathroom who gives you towels. That kinda ruins the whole dive bar flavor. There is also heavy ass security like the other big clubs on the strip. I've seen several concerts here and there is always some 500 pound mexican guerilla standing above the dance floor watching closely. I'm used to concerts in California, where you light up on the dance floor. Not here. Like all things in Las Vegas Strip, it is a cheap imitation of something better than exists elsewhere.
The people who come here are a mix of old, young, locals and tourists. Concerts definitely cater to different crowds. While i'm not a huge fan, this place is definetly cooler than the typical chuck-e-cheese casino meets doucebag, techno, synethtic suites night club that dominate the casino. If I lived in NY or SF, I would never come here but I dont anymore. So, this is one of the best places to see a cool band in this desert doofus town.
