| - This place is awesome. Without getting suckered in by a promoter, I got reduced cover, a free drink (and a strong one at that!), and an open bar from 2AM.
Having a small budget for a night of drunken dancing and debauchery, I was trying to research which lounges and clubs were the best for my buck on a Saturday night. Now, of course, $120 for two people clubbing in Vegas is not a lot if you have a high booze tolerance like myself. We opted to skip places like TAO and 1OAK (which is also in the Mirage) and moseyed over to King Ink.
Now, I had never been here before, nor did I really know what I was getting myself into. Still, from the outside, the place looked pretty hip though a little small and the bouncer was extremely friendly. We walk up to pay our cover and I'm expecting at least $20 to $30 a person seeing as it's Vegas on a Saturday night, but the girls at the counter gave me and my girlfriend VIP cover with no frills, meaning only $10 per cover and free drink tickets! I was pretty stoked considering Vegas drinks are usually at least $14 a pop. So we get inside, the DJ is bumpin', there are girls dancing on Go-Go platforms, and the bartenders are whipping around bottles like "special" body parts at an Inebriated Hot Chick convention. Skeptical about my free drink, I saunter up to the bar thinking I'm going to be awarded with some lukewarm Bud Lights, but the bartender takes my order as normal and does some crazy flair witch magic with his hands and the booze. Now, maybe the bartender was into us and got a little carried away showing off to my friend, but I doubt it considering the place was filled with some pretty good-looking ladies. Still, my whiskey sour and my lady's vodka-cran were STRONG! And with someone who doesn't get drunk often anymore because of my high tolerance, that's totally cool with me. We danced a bit, went outside to the very spacious and comfortable patio (there are a bunch of heat lamps, couches, and tables around), but we didn't stay for the open bar at 2 AM because we had to leave the next morning.
All in all, I would go here again. The atmosphere was great, the drinks were strong, and the price was super reasonable!
