Went here last night for a friend of a friend's birthday party and it wasn't too much of a party to say the least. We were in the VIP section on the patio and got through security pretty quickly upon entering, and the place was super packed. We got a drink up at the bar and went back to the patio. They charge $9 for a teeny tiny rum & coke which is ridiculous but expected in Vegas. But then when my friend's boyfriend went back to the bar again for a second round for my friend, it was $7 and in a plastic albeit bigger glass. WTF? I guess you have to get the right bartender who isn't going to screw you over.
When I went for my drink (a $10 Rock Candy) I unfortunately had the previous bartender and it was small, and was way too sour, not the way I had remembered the drink. Ick.
Now the reason we had to go to the bar all the time was because the waitress for the VIP area completely ignored us. She asked everyone else around if they needed anything, but not us.
I'm giving this an extra star because this is the only place in Las Vegas where karma comes around faster than usual. Literally moments after making fun of some girl's hideous outfit, she falls over in her chair. And that douchebag in True Religion who hit on you at the bar will fall off the bull faster than it took for him to get off of you.
The crowd was very meh for being so busy. It seemed like every girl there was skanktastic, and every guy was in an embroidered button-down and light-washed jeans with whiskering. Eww. At least we got to see a Snooki lookalike grinding like crazy and a stripper ride the bull. Ahh, Vegas. When there is a mechanical bull, all bets are off. Just make sure you find a bartender who won't stiff you and this place could possibly be alright with the right crowd.
