Bar: Okay experience, overall.
Security: Awful experience....ruined it all for me.
For starters, we were told completely wrong by a security guard first. He told us there was no cover charge, but we got to the front of the line and were told the cover was $5/person....which is fine, but we had just waited in line thinking we were good to go! Learning this, we were directed to an ATM close by in the casino to get cash for the cover and did the line thing all over again. Okay, fine.
Immediately after paying the cover and getting in, the live band quit playing. Just saying, this would have been nice to know because we came for the band! However, we learned a DJ was setting up. Okay, fine.
They had a bucket of beer special, which was pretty reasonably priced (5 bottles for $25). The bartender was pretty nice and quick. Okay, great.
After being in the bar for close to an hour and a half, dancing on the dance floor, having a great time, we were joined by three girls who seemed pretty fun! Shortly after their arrival, my friend was abruptly grabbed by a security officer who demanded all three of our IDs. Okay, ask for our ID but please keep your hands off... Strike one.
After showing our IDs for the second time (first being when we were let in the bar, initially), we were asked for them again. Okay, fine, but what is different now than the first two times you looked at them? Strike two.
From here, we were asked where our wristbands were. Fair question, but what wristbands? We were never given wristbands? To which one security officer replies "we have you on camera giving your wristbands to those three girls". ~what. an. actual. joke.~ ...and resorting to intimidation strategies to get us to confess to giving away wristbands we never even had?? Strike three, four, five, six....ugh.
Might I add that during the time we are getting bombarded and intimidated by the security guards, the three girls who were apparently under age had scrammed; no where to be seen! And apparently we knew where they went? Nice try. I still wonder why the girls weren't questioned or asked to show their ID again?? Another strike.
Back to the fact that the security guard resorts to our apparent misconduct being caught on camera.....My friend assertively suggested that they go check that camera and tell us what they find because that's not the case at all. It was almost laughable! I don't want to play the "young women" card, but is this why this was said to us? We didn't budge, though, so better luck next time.
After the security guard who initially told us there was no cover charge stuck up for us (with a gentle suggestion that he knows better) by saying we were never given wristbands, we were finally told to get the bands from the woman at the entrance who neglected to do so initially, and we were sent on our way. Little do they know, my friends and I are not going to give money to or spend time at a place that falsely accuses us of smuggling underage girls in and lets them run free while badgering us! We got out of there and moved on to the next place!
Maybe I just had a bad experience, maybe the security shouldn't represent an establishment....maybe give it a shot and make the call for yourself. Nonetheless, I can confidently say I would not return, but to each their own! read more
