| - McFadden's became the go-to bar for the Trekkers and Trekkies who attended the Las Vegas Star Trek Convention hosted by Creation this past August. (Of course we picked it, in honor of Dr. Beverly Crusher, a.k.a. Gates McFadden!)
Unfortunately, this place never quite lived up to Quark's/Spacebar at the Hilton. Though we (by "we," I mean my beloved family of Trekkies) handed off the specialty drink list once served at Quark's to McFaddens (ah, the passing of the flame), McFadden's failed to make a spark when "replicating" the drink menu. Several times I received the wrong drink from the same bartender. Fortunately, she made the correct drink when informed of her mistake, and I guess it's understandable that they may not be on top of a new drink menu, but I guess the main issue is that despite the several months notice given to McFadden's of the drink menu and expected number of clientele, they really failed to deliver.
I also wished they'd had a better set up for dancing. Wednesday night before the convention was great, with an open floor and DJ. The following nights included live bands, karaoke, and a couple DJs who took up the entire dance floor with their set up. Loved the music they were spinning, but there was nowhere to dance, and the hired girls dancing in their underwear was a turn-off (and I like women, so that's saying a lot.)
I never ate the food or took advantage of the $30 all you can drink option (which only extended to well liquor and draft beers) but I hope that we can find a better venture next year, or that they have a better grasp of the drink menu and volume expected . . . and make more room on the dance floor!
