Stopped in Friday (17 Jan) for a few beers with former co-workers. I've Been in LV 30+ years and am not a fan of casino bars/lounges etc. Our bar tender was a nice young lady...I think her name is Michell. . Anyway, were were all enjoying ourselves for an hour or two. Several rounds went by, money on the bar etc. Up to that point service was just ok. Our bartender had taken a break or two, no bigee. As we were not facing the bar I noticed she was gone as well as the money that was on the bar. I myself had about $30+ on the bar and surveying the others it came out to about $70. She was on break again...came back. I was going to challange her but thought better of it because she cut herself short. When the bunch of us go out for 'beers' every few months we ususally leave the bartender b/t $125 - $150. This bartender is one reason I donot support Casino bars/lounges. We, as a group, usually hang out at local bars for nice specials and honest bartenders. For good honest service try 'Crown & Anchor' (E. Trop), 'RePete's' Warm springs just west of LV Blvd and another favorite is 'Bj's' on E. Trop and Koval. The boys wanted to try this Mermaid joint and found out that casino bars are for tourist.
