I am going to have to break this review down into three parts: The bar, the Cigar lounge, and the entertainment.
1) The bar. Yes, as I have seen mentioned in other reviews, it is a little pricey, but not bad for Vegas, and for hosting the Entertainment, I'll gladly pay that. The drinks are not anything special, I would have loved to see a better selection of top end drinks in a bar that looks so nice.
It seems that there has been a lot of talk about the service, but our experience was better that what I have seen discussed here. The waitress was good about keeping our drinks filled throughout the night. She was good about not interrupting our enjoyment of the entertainers. I have no complaints on the service. If this were just on the drinks and drink service it would be a standard 3 star: competent, but not special.
2) Cigar Lounge. Okay, I will say they should probably be careful saying that they are a cigar lounge. They are just a place that lets you smoke cigars. They weren't doing sales except through a couple of sticks that a cigar/cigarette server was carrying around. They have a place where I could see that they did sell cigars in the not-so-distant past. They didn't have cigar ashtrays, just the normal cigarette ashtrays, but the server was excellent at clearing them as they would get full. I am not going to rate them as a cigar lounge, since it looks like they have moved away from most every aspect of it aside from yes, you can smoke them there.
3) The entertainment. Okay, here is where this place shines. The dueling pianos performers were excellent. The show was great fun all around. They took audience requests and rarely had to back down from any of them. One person requested Metalica's Master of Puppets. They did say no to that, but asked if he would be happy with another Metalica Song. He agreed and they went into Enter Sandman. Okay, the pop side of Metalica, but the piano adaptation was excellent and when the singer started in, he was straight channeling James Hetfield. I almost fell out of my chair laughing from the shock.
They did all the expected piano bar songs (Billy Joel, Neil Diamond, Elton John, etc) , but so much more: Sir Mix-A-Lot, Lizzo, Duran Duran, Journey, Bob Denver, George Strait, Charlie Daniel's Band, and so much more. They started at 8:30pm and went to 1:30am with only a short break in the middle. This part was a solid 5 star. Not only do I give them 5 star but despite the modest, but still good other aspects of the place, I am letting them carry the rating for the whole place up to their level. They are that worth seeing. Solid musicians but more importantly top-notch entertainers.
