truly. i'm still alcohol soaked from a five day stay in las vegas. and before anyone gets all judgy, i'm fresh off a five year introduction to hell, which may or may not have consisted of 24 hour care for two elderly people that spent their last few years complaining non stop. the usual 24 hour day actually turned into 30 hours, if that is possible.
anyway, since i laid the groundwork for my excuse for morning, afternoon, and yes, evening drinking, here is my review of the bar found at the vdara. first, the vdara is blessedly casino free, which really cuts down on the noise and vague smoke smells.
the bar itself is prominently displayed, you cannot miss it when you enter the hotel. there is also little cafe of sorts (warning, do not drink excessively, then buy a bottle of wine around 1 a.m., your inflated receipt will most likely implore you to quit drinking). there is also a starbucks, for those of you who crave caffeine. i am not one of those people.
vice versa is clean, there are plenty of seats at the bar, as well as table seating inside and outside. all the bartenders i had during my five days of debauchery and liver abuse were great, with the exception of one. but that's probably just because his mimosas were made with more juice than i felt was necessary. not kidding, the other bartenders filled the flute with champagne up to the rim and finished it off by squeezing one or two drops of orange juice out of this cute little squeeze bottle. i may or may not have fallen in love with all these men.
as a general nod to overall health, my friend and i decided to order breakfast to wash down our mimosas. she had the cinnamon roll - i don't think the picture truly conveys how large this roll is - she loved it, i don't eat things like that, since 1. i don't like bakery items, and 2. i was saving room in my tummy for mid morning drinking. i, of course, ordered bacon, extra crispy. gosh, even days later, i remember how delicious that bacon was. mmmm....
the waitresses wear these cute black dresses with a sparkly belt. and before you ask, yes, i have problems dressing, and most likely have been highlighted in 'what not to wear'. so for me to actually see and recognize a pleasing outfit is a rarity.
