| - Ok, so I'm NOT into Country... Sure, I like a little Shania, a little Taylor Swift, and I know the words to "Friends in Low Places" but that's about as far as I go. But when you go to Vegas for someone's birthday, you do what the birthday girl wants. Only fair :)
So like almost every other black person who gets talked into going to a Country bar, I was a little worried about being sidelined by the unfamiliar line dancing and stared down for having a lot of pigment.LOL! But lo and behold, the only line dance for the night was the electric slide! Got that! And there was a United Nations-ish range of diversity throughout the bar. Well, alrighty then! The drinks were ok, and the bar had a lot of seats.... no cover charge or waiting in line either. It's more casual attire than dressy. Bartenders put on a good show - bottle flipping, stacked shots, free shots, and some kind of simulated fellatio act with a loud alarm for the bachelorette parties.
Although I had fun with my friends, I was a little disappointed by the overall experience. Call me crazy, but it didn't seem "country enough." I mean, I wasn't expecting hay and cowboys, but the cover band was kid of a let down. They played some country hits, and some rock hits (Come on Eileen, Take on Me, etc) but they weren't that great and then they just started playing a couple hip hop songs to keep people dancing...but, hello, you can't really dance to a cover version of "California Love"....um no.
My vote.... look for a legit C&W bar somewhere off the strip - not this commercialized space - or just go back to another swanky Vegas club...
