As for the venue, it sits next to PublicUS and offers good sound plus easy access but terrible ventilation. A non-smoking venue, ignored without consequence by many in attendance, leave it to a couple of assholes "moshing" to prove a nuisance. If security had any balls they'd have tossed 'em after one warning instead of four. That said, if you want smaller bands at smaller venues in this city you have to go out and support, and on 4/18/25 Sparta took the stage at The Usual Space for an exceptional set. While Sparta never achieved the commercial success of The Mars Volta Jim Ward's music has always seemed to carry forward At the Drive-In in its own way.

Worst gig ever , Do not even spend your money on getting tickets for this place, You get the ticket with days in advance, the show started at 8pm , We arrive at 10 , and they oversold the show and people like me and my friends that have tickets already , they scanned the ticket, stamped my hand and still won't let us in cause the place is full already, why do they over sell the place if they have a max capacity. There's no refund and won't let people in. Fuck this place and I'll make sure everyone in the line leaves a bad review

Came here to see a local band ( close to modern) and this place is just on the outskirts of Fremont street I recommend taking an Uber or cab there cause the streets around there are alittle dark, so the doorman was friendly went in and this place is super clean, decorated well, really nice bar with a vast selection of spirits with one of my favorite tequilas which is hard to find (forteleza) the bartender girl was super cool and made a good drink , plenty of seating and they have a taco truck parked right outside not sure if it's there all the time but it was there when we went l, they have a great sound system! Overall just a really cool bar that doesn't over charge you for a drink and they deejay after the band played was really good too like a dark wave deejay I will be back when I'm back in town if you get a chance check this place out !!!!!

Amazing venue! Clean - trendy - modern - spacious. Great bar with a variety of drinks, staffed by bartenders with great knowledge. The space can open up to a bigger venue that is suitable for a range of events. Live music. There's an ATM by the bathrooms. Bathrooms are very clean, modern and spacious. There's a parking lot attached on the side. Highly recommended.

Main entrance on Maryland Parkway.

A Public Fit Theatre Company has done a major renovation of their theatre which they call The Usual Place. The entire interior has been redone and there is nom need now to know the way into the theatre from the back alley. Instead, the main entrance is on Maryland Parkway. After parking in the lot south of the building, simply walk to Maryland and the entrance is there quite near to the entrance to PublicUS. On entering, there's a ramp that goes slowly to a bit higher level. Check in here if the ticket person is not outside. In this area are the new restrooms which are simply amazing. It's like being in a restroom at the Bellagio. The interior was deliberately left open so a different number of seating options could be done by a director. What a remarkable change from my first production here when it had a lot of machine tool equipment. A Public Fit, thanks to you for the new house! It's superb!

Cute spot downtime. I came here for a burlesque show and it didn't disappoint. It's intimate with a bar and good prices. They sell snacks outside which isn't ideal but knowing upfront doesn't hurt when you can eat before or after. Show was great. Dancers, hosts, both great. The show says starts at 7 but that's when doors open. If you want to sit with friends, be sure to arrive at the same time or have one person buy all the tickets. Will be back. Nice fireplace on the patio for a smoke break.

I don't think I liked beer turns out IPA's are the exception!

I Love! Love! This place. After a long back to work week, meeting up for drinks at the "usual place" with my coworkers to decompress is awesome! Carlos the owner/bartender is my fav. He knows his spirits and beers. I told him the first time I sat at his bar I don't like beer. Now I love! Love! IPA's! I'm a whisky girl, and guess what? A great selection. This is gonna be my spot! Cheap drinks like it's happy hour, a locals hang out spot for sure! Let's not tell the tourists!

Is there an age requirement?

Hi Olivia, Yes, we are a bar and you must be 21 to enter.

This freaking bar. Holy cow! They deserve all the accolades they're getting and more. Not just…read morefrom the entities that rate such things, but from the cocktail bar community itself. Cornelius recommended several locations to also check out and each of those locations talked about Nocturno being a great spot as well. When you do a cocktail crawl in the Arts District, and they all speak highly of Nocturno, you know it's not just reviews on apps, or awards issued, but mad respect earned from the community itself. It's about to have its 1 year anniversary, and I recommend a weekday visit as it's not as bumping (yet) as the weekend. Get here now while you can. The cocktail menu can appear overwhelming. It's not. It's a pirates treasure map to cocktail booty. It has the classics, and below each classic, is a family tree of variations. You can also just tell the bartenders to make you something with a frame of reference. Seriously, this spot is an educational experience if you want it to be. I was there on a Tuesday at opening, just my buddy and I at the bar, expecting to spend an hour and change there as we had a crawl planned. 20 minutes in, and I canceled my reservation at the Doberman. An hour in, I canceled the next stop too. We spent about 3 hours at the bar, and let me tell you, Cornelius is a terrific ambassador for the cocktail world in Las Vegas. He seems to know almost everyone, and speaks reverentially of the "competitors" and knows their lineage. I cannot say enough things about this spot, and it's now earned a permanent spot on my annual visit list of things to do.

Sunflower was soooo good! I loved it instantly. I was surprised the foods were like restaurants quality. I liked PROSCIUTTO TOWER but it was hard to eat. We didn't have a reservation but we could sit down the bar. Few minutes later, whole bar was full. The bar was ever dark but the table area had comfortable lighting. Next time, I prefer to sit the table.

It is FREE to go up, but if you want to sit down, there is a 2 drink, $50 minimum per person and it will cost you $100 for two people and there is also a two hour time limit. Well at least that's what the host told us. We walked around and took some cool pics. My daughter was celebrating Mother's Day with me! It was such a special place to go and relax. We arrived at 10 p.m. There were a few places left to sit, but none on the outdoor patio. So we ordered two cocktails and enjoyed the view from a table that was also a view through two glass panels, because it is situated in front of the outdoor patio. Still, it was nice. Our waitress Yaneli was really great! She recommended the The Legacy Club and The Showgirl cocktails. (The drink menu was so fancy, I couldn't figure out what I might like.) The Showgirl cocktail was made with Lychee and the Legacy Club Cocktail had prickly pear juice in it. We tried both, then we ordered The Legacy Club Cocktail again. Tip: The 20% tip IS INCLUDED in the bill! Check your itemized receipt. Mine was under the credit card slip, and I almost left a 40% tip! When I have a girls night out again, this is the place I will go!

I recently visited The Pinky Ring, Bruno Mars' lounge-style club, and it offers a very polished and…read moreupscale nightlife experience. The venue itself is beautifully designed, with a more intimate, sophisticated feel compared to larger Las Vegas clubs. It's a great option if you're looking for something stylish with a strong music and ambiance focus. The overall vibe is smooth and elevated -- great music, well-dressed crowd, and an atmosphere that feels exclusive without being overwhelming. One thing worth noting is the camera policy. The venue emphasizes a no-camera experience, which I understand is meant to maintain privacy and keep the focus on the moment. However, I did notice a few cameras out and about during the night, which made the policy feel a bit inconsistent. Not a major issue, but something that stood out. Overall, it's a great spot for a more refined night out in Las Vegas. I had an enjoyable experience and would definitely return.

The Pinky Room is a jazz/live band club located in the heart of the Bellagio - closer to the exit towards the Caesar's Palace walkway. We waited in line on a Saturday evening right when this opened. We were told that this was the second anniversary of the Pink Room, so it was reportedly abnormally busy with us having to wait about an hour and 10 minutes before getting in. There was no cover charge, but there is a bouncer checking over your outfit. We weren't told exactly what wasn't allowed but supposedly they will check (saw a lot of the bouncers looking at shoes in particular). Once you are in, you got a stamp in case you need to step out to grab food or go to the restroom which is not in the club. The bar is set to the far side of the club with the bar area and dance floor set for general attendees. Most of the area though is for reserved tables that require higher drink minimums. The bar at the beginning of the night was easy to get to but once the band came on, it was a tough battle getting a drink as a regular attendee since most of the patrons were really squished in that area trying to watch the band. The band itself that we saw was great with reportedly Bruno's brother on the drums. It was a fun time and the acoustics were pretty good. The mocktail I had also wasn't bad with drink prices being normal Vegas Strip pricing. Again, love the concept and love live bands. Just think this venue is super squished and doesn't make as much sense for a normal patron versus having a table.
