"I love me some hookah and what I can tell you about Las Vegas is that there's good hookah and then there's bad hookah in this city. I've experienced some bad hookah here plenty of times. I've experienced good hookah. This place can be placed on the latter.\n\nHookah lounges seem to be an identity all their own. Most don't serve alcohol, thus not making them a bar. The tobacco or sheesha that is smoked is usually natural and not prepackaged, thus keeping it under the radar unlike it's cousin forms: chewing, cigarettes, and cigars. Since regulation is rather light on these things, it's rather easy to just set a lounge up. \n\nKaliopi Lounge is decent place ran by a pair of Hawaiian brothers who are there on most nights. These guys definitely bring the laid-back aloha feeling to a place. Located in a store front in a strip mall, they don't serve alcohol or food. They do have canned sodas and bottled water located behind the counter. If you want get a drink of a pub food, there's the Magoo's Pub directly next door. \n\nThursday nights are a good night to come. It's not overly crowded but not empty. A local DJ is playing house music and dubstep and while there's no real dancefloor area, the people are respectful and clear a small area in front of the DJ to let people dance. Pretty accommodating, I thought. There's two pool tables and an arcade video game if you're looking for something else to do. But really, this place is about hookah and socializing.\n\nAdorned with typical hookah style furniture (big, comfy couches and wide, deep chairs that surround a table big enough for just the hookah) this place holds no pretense. It's not a tapas restaurant that also serves hookah. It's not a nightclub in guise as a social lounge. It is what it is. A simple place to come and smoke hookah with friends.\n\nMy $.02 Cents:\n4 Stars - based on overall value ($10 all you can smoke) and atmosphere of the place. Would have got five stars if they served alcohol or fountain beverages. But I can't complain. Also, there is very much a younger crowd that comes here."^^ . . . "0"^^ . . "0"^^ .
