LIV Beach Las Vegas — Great Vibes, Disappointing Alcohol Integrity
Four of us visited LIV Beach on a hot Friday in Vegas. With no major DJ playing, the lineups were minimal, and since we had a table, we skipped right through. The $500 minimum spend for the table felt fair for Vegas standards. Service was excellent — our server, Maddison, was pleasant, attentive, and professional. This is clearly a well-run establishment from a business standpoint. The staff — especially the women promoting the party atmosphere — are well-trained and know how to keep the energy up while encouraging guests to spend.
Security presence was solid, which adds to the sense of safety. This doesn’t feel like the kind of place where anyone would get away with starting trouble. The crowd was overall well-behaved and the vibe was energetic but classy.
Music? 5 stars. Atmosphere? 5 stars. Cleanliness of the bathrooms? Also 5 stars. The venue itself is fantastic.
However, where LIV Beach loses stars — and ultimately my trust — is with the alcohol. It’s obvious the hard liquor is watered down. One will notice immediately when you taste the liquor clean. The bottles aren’t brought out in original sealed bottles are immediately poured into plastic jugs for serving. That’s a big red flag. For a place that charges what seems like an 800% markup on alcohol, there’s absolutely no justification for compromising integrity just to stretch profits further.
I've attended at world-class beach clubs like Nikki Beach, Shimmy Beach Club, the Grand and the W in Thailand, and none of them cut corners like this. When you're paying top dollar, you expect quality and transparency — not shortcuts.
Because of this, I believe the 3-star average rating LIV currently holds is accurate, and I’m giving it 3 stars as well. Great venue, great vibe — but a fundamental breach of trust when it comes to what’s in your glass.
