| - Wait, am I in Las Vegas? That is what I kept asking myself, but then I would glance down at the inactive video poker screen. Yep, I am in Vegas. Phew, because I like Vegas, but I don't like smokey, video poker bars, and Lady Silvia is the arch nemesis of such establishments.
First, it's hidden, so showing up here you feel as if you're slipping behind the looking glass or being invited into a secret members only club (you don't have to wear the jacket).
Second, it's smoke-free!
Third, the furniture is beautiful. Sadly, all of the fashionable couches and tables were reserved on a Friday night, but I am sure on a weeknight, you can have your pick. Surrounding the furniture is a hip library.
Fourth, the music is fun. Although, I was convinced they were playing Men In Black, only to realize in noisy environments it's hard to distinguish the original tune form Will's rendition. Phew. That was a close call.
Fifth, the cocktails are good, but as has been noted, expensive. $14 for a specialty cocktail, which is the same price as many Strip establishments. But, they were handing at Stella Artois like candy (free) for some promotion, including a Facebook check-in. (I want hold not having a Yelp check-in offer against them...) I think promotions like this are common, so maybe it balances out if you're open to drinking beer.
Sixth, there is a new art gallery on your way in, Amanda Harris Gallery, so we got a bonus art show.
Seventh, I think you'll like it.
