We've been to Fat Cat twice now, and it is such a fun little bar!!…read more We have come here both times to see The Midnight Cabaret, a local band that does a fun mix of covers and original music. Fat Cat has a great stage, and they have great sound for bands! Let's talk about their cocktails! Are they spendy? Sure...but you're also downtown, so really, the prices are pretty in line with the standard. $16 for a really well crafted cocktail isn't bad...and I haven't had a cocktail here that I didn't like! Just be cautious...they go down quick! We've always had top notch service here, the bartenders are friendly, fun, and knowledgeable about drinks! If you're looking for a fun night out where you might catch some live music, give Fat Cat a try!

My one complaint, and the complaint of everyone was it took 30 minutes to get a drink. One bartender and one server for a place that was packed is clearly not enough. The server and bartender were doing their best but there should have been at least two bartenders for this event. We will be back.

Had dinner here last night and they were able to start us rather quickly with 6 adults and 4 kids…read more There was live music playing which the kiddos enjoyed. Wait staff was very friendly and helped with recommendations. Appetizers came out pretty quickly. We ordered the brisket nachos to start and IDK if we were just all starving or what.. but those nachos really hit the spot! It was a table favorite for sure. It was also a big portion. Mains took a while. Hubby and I split a rack of ribs and and an order of wings. Wings were okay. For the price, I thought it would've came with some carrots/celery.. but it did not. The ribs were a legit rack though. It also came with a side of fries, slaw and pickles. Ribs were tasty. I also added a side of gumbo. The gumbo was meh. I don't think I will order that next time. Kids ordered mostly Mac n cheese with a side of fruit. One ordered the cheeseburger with a side of fries. Kids ate all of their fruit and just some of their Mac; the one with the cheeseburger finished all of her food. The kids meals did not come with drinks. Overall, we left full. Service was great. Music was good. Kids were a different story. Since we were a party of 5+, everyone was put on one bill and gratuity automatically added. They are also a non-cash establishment.. which is kind of weird since it's in a casino. But just a heads up. I would definitely come back if I or friends were staying here. I don't think I would go out of my way to come dine here specifically though.

Bring a winter coat!…read more I went last night to see the Hedwig and the Angry Inch 25th Anniversary featuring John Cameron Mitchell. The movie, Q&A and concert were GREAT. But it was no warmer than 60 degrees on the main floor. Maybe colder. I get that it's 110 degrees outside but I'd rather be in that heat for three hours than freezing my freaking ass off. My friends agreed they were chilled to the bone. The cheap folding chairs (I mean... have you seen the ticket prices? REALLY??) added insult to injury.

SERVICE: During lunch they had a wait and didn't allow early reservations and require all parties to be present before you can be seated. One of the managers was rude when we asked to pull up another chair and any questions we had. 2/10 They were really understaffed and so we didn't get to see our server too much. He was kind but was waiting on four sections. FOOD: We ordered the salmon platter. It was good and nothing spectacular. The spinach dip was cheesy and large. The brisket sandwich looked and tasted more like roast beef 0/10. The impossible burger was fine too. DRINKS: The drinks were strong and large in size. The bartenders (when not understaffed) are quick and knowledgeable.

We'd already been to dinner and out on the strip and there was no way i could have handled any more alcohol. They made a huge deal of the fact that you had to request your song choices via Venmo. TBH - I wasn't thrilled with the vocal skills of either pianist. When they decided to duet Shallow from A Star is Born, I decided I could not handle it anymore. And we left. This act just didn't seem up to Vegas standards. It was a Thursday night, so start of the weekend, so should have had decent caliber performers.

Finally tried takeout from this new Cajun/seafood jazz club (all my favorite things in one package)…read moreafter venturing over one night only to discover they had closed up early. Since their recent opening, they have had some slow nights that warranted closing up earlier than their posted hours -- something to keep in mind. They also only seem to be serving "mocktails" at the moment (no alcohol). Dine in to enjoy live music on weekends! So how's the food? I really had high hopes because I enjoy some good Cajun-style seafood and their menu (especially during weekends) offers great variety from Frog Legs and Oysters "Rockafella" to Gumbo and Seafood Boil. They even offer several Vegan entrees and dessert. Unfortunately, the dishes I tried just didn't hit as expected. Surf & Turf Burger. Big, plump shrimp with no shortage of ooey gooey cheese but even with the plethora of sauces and seasonings, the flavors didn't quite pop. Just a standard burger with added shrimp. Good bun, though, and the shrimp were perfectly cooked. Grilled Salmon & Shrimp. Again, great presentation of seafood and creamy sauce filled with various goodies like crawfish, all WITH a generous helping of cheese grits. Sounds heavenly but not a dish for which I'd go out of my way. Shrimp was perfectly tender but salmon was dry and definitely needed the sauce. Good Sizzler/Texas style garlic toast on the side. Seafood Potato With Salad. Okay, this was the main event that drew me to this place but WOW, was I disappointed. It was literally a baked potato broiled with seafood and cheese. I expected much more flavor. For some reason, the cheese grits accompanying this dish had an unpleasantly pungent, foot-like aroma and taste that was not as noticeable in the Salmon dish, possibly attributed to the cheese blend? I really wanted to report back with glowing praises, especially since the owners and staff are so warm and welcoming! I hope my remarks help this business grow and improve with time. I would still return for the music and intimate, speakeasy atmosphere.

The. Best. Performer. In. Vegas. EVER!!!!!…read more Vargas plays sporadically around town, so check his website (varjazz.com) for his schedule. Right now (5/11) he's performing as Bobby Darrin in Legends in Concert at Harrahs, but when he's not busy doing that, he plays energetic old-time Vegas big band, jazz and lounge standards with his AWESOME band, the Swank Set. Their horn section is out of this world! Vargas and the Swank Set are like a '50s lounge act on speed...like Richard Cheese meets Freddie Mercury meets Willy Wonka. THAT awesome! Vargas is the most magnetic, energetic, wildly frenetic entertainer I have EVER seen...I can't believe he's not headlining his own lounge at one of the major casinos. He's THAT good -- really! If you get the chance...check him out! He's good as Bobby Darrin, but he's even better on his own with the Swank Set. Past venues have included the Suncoast, the Bootlegger Bistro and the Fontana Lounge at Bellagio... I personally think the bigwigs at Caesars should let him play at least one night a week at Cleopatra's Barge -- he'd be perfect in that old-school room. But until then...check him out wherever you can. ASAP!

One of the best parts about this place is that they have live music almost every night, which is awesome. We went on a night when a cover band was playing, and they were fantastic. The venue itself isn't very big, featuring a small stage and a really intimate environment. Depending on your vibe, you can reserve tables, hang out in the VIP seating area, or just stand around the floor and enjoy the live band performing. The energy was upbeat, and the place was already packed and buzzing even as early as 9 PM. My only real complaint was that the music was incredibly loud. It is turned up so high that you absolutely cannot have a conversation with anyone in there without screaming, which is something to keep in mind if you're looking to chat. Overall, it is a great entertainment place with a fantastic vibe. If you want a lively spot on the Strip with great music, this is definitely worth checking out!

Absolute blast and amazing way to end an amazing night in Vegas…read more Family vacation 2 older teenagers. Decided they would get a night on the town with a show, dinner while wife and I had our fun. Dinner, show (Absinthe) capping with our stop at the Barbershop. I love whisky/bourbon. I love speakeasys. I love live music. Check, Check, Check. So now it's about 11 pm after dinner and the show and the walk. Passed the ski lodge speakeasy with just a few people waiting. Got to barbershop and the line was 20 deep. Ruh Roh. It did end up being 40 minutes wait but we made friends in line (ended up all hanging out inside). We almost gave up to back to ski lodge but decided to not be quitters....so glad we stayed. Love the decor. It was loud (not a biggie) so we got some great ol fashioneds at the bar, then inched our way to center dance floor where we didn't stop dancing to the band til 1 pm when they stopped.....we had so much fun, we (and others) wanted them to keep playing. It did cost me $25 cover (wife was free). I was ok with this. i think before 9 it's free to get in. Amazing night.
