The Deuce Lounge

If there were an option to rate as a zero I would. This is a higher end sports bar located in the Aria. We selected a seat and waited for a cocktail waitress that never arrived, although there were several around us working the tables. After about 20 minutes my husband walked to the bar and ordered our drinks. We drank our drinks and spent about an hour there. During our time no one greeted or acknowledged our existed. Keep in mind we are very well dressed and are, in Vegas, what seems to be monthly, and expect at the least some level of professionalism. We drank our mediocre drinks and left.

I love The deuce Lounge ! Had an amazing time there ! We watched football on Saturday and Sunday, it was a great place to catch all our favorite games… and service was great!!! ! Highly recommend to anyone looking for fun spot to get a few drinks ! Ill def. be back!!! :)

The atmosphere was nice, but the service was poor with only one waitress serving the lounge. The food menu was also quite weak as it appeared to be made up of one small plate from each of the surrounding food venues. The alcohol menu suffered from the same problem as the other bars in the Aria, no high end whiskey.

The atmosphere in Deuce is awesome. It’s just so comfortable. And I’m not sure what it is about this place, but it seems to attract females over males at a 2:1 clip. Each of the three times I’ve been there I’ve had a fantastic time.

I never even know this lounge is here. The Deuce Lounge is good vibe, strong drink, cozy and intimate. We were here to meet up with some business folks. We didn’t want to go to the club, so this lounge was perfect. Music was good when we were there.
The drink cost is a little stiff, but it’s Las Vegas. Service was a little slow, and it wasn’t busy while we were there.

Hip hop music on this long weekend, Saturday night. Finally!!! This is not a club, it’s a lounge. Don’t come expecting a huge dance floor or anything like that. Dark lighting with table seating. No cover.

Deuce, tell your waitresses if they won’t acknowledge your female patrons then your female patrons won’t return. We arrived to a semi-​empty lounge at 1am and seated ourselves in the middle of the lounge. We waited and waited…20 minutes passed with zero services from the waitresses who were all over the other predominantly male tables. We decided to leave rather than beg for service. No thanks. Never again.

What a joke. Asked for a glass of water along with a drink. Bartender brought out a bottle of water. I politely asked for just a glass of water. She rudely said they only serve bottled water and they don’t have a way of giving me water. With the bar gun right in front of her, and a stack of glasses I again asked if she could put some water in a cup. She rudely refused. I handed the drink back to her and told her without the water, I can’t drink anymore so she could have it back. At that point we exchanged «eat shit and die» looks and I told the group of friends I was with how pissed I was. With a million bars in Vegas that value customers, we all left.
The atmosphere was boring anyway.

Let’s hype it up and then not show up.
Why exist when you only have six people show up on a Saturday night in the summer?

Throughout The Strip, there are numerous bars/​lounges similar to ARIA’s The Deuce, but, for whatever reason, the first to come to mind is The Bellagio’s Lily Bar. Both are dark and cozy, with a posh and modern décor, and have a bunch of tables and couches scattered about (that may or may not actually be «reserved»).
On the flip side, unlike Lily Bar and so many others, there are actually some blackjack tables within The Deuce, which is pretty cool. The limits seem a little higher than on the casino floor, but it’s convenient if you’re going to be gambling that much anyways. Not to mention the fact drinks seem to come out faster as well.
While the blackjack tables were a pleasantly unexpected sight, it was more surprising to me how quiet the scene was for a Friday. Granted it could have just been this one night, or that we got there late, but it never got that busy while we were there. Then again, without a dance floor (or a DJ, for that matter), The Deuce isn’t that type of lounge/​bar anyways.
All in all, even though it may not significantly set itself apart from lounges like Lily Bar or The Chandelier in Cosmo, The Deuce is just fine. It perfectly fit what we were looking for — a plush, relaxing lounge with plenty of seats, friendly staff, and a relaxed vibe for a great night with friends, both old and new.
BTW, on an unrelated note… this place is called «The Deuce». Heh hehheh heh…

When a place starts handing out coupons in a casino, that is actually situated in the casino itself, it is a bad sign. At first I thought that they were handing out Escort or Strippers-​to-​your-​room cards, but it turned out to be 2 for 1 drink specials. I should’ve known. Hispanics hand out the escort cards on the strip and white guys in suits hand out the drink coupons — a kind of socioeconomic stratification, Vegas style. The Lounge is tucked away in an awkward location of the casino, so it is not really good for people watching. The only people that walked by were really people who were kinda lost in the Casino. It felt like we were in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.
The lounge tries to create a casual, hip vibe that is in between a club and a bar — bass thumping music, but no dance floor. I had a red bull and vodka which came out to $ 18…WTF! For that price I expect to see scantily clad go-​go dancers on an elevated platform, or at least a bubble machine. But nope, not even a hint of black light. It seemed like a place where older people go to look like they are cool and younger. The table next to us were probably in their late 60’s and looked miserable. Probably because it was 1000 pm which was about 2 hrs past their bedtime.
What a depressing place.

The only reasons we came here were because of three things:
— 2 for 18 drink coupons
— Location
— Watch the Niners vs. Saints game
Now that I reflect on it, I should have watched the game from our room instead. Crowd is a mixture of tourist and locals. Although the locals were a bunch of douchy-​lookin’ guys who looked like rejects from Jersey Shore. Hair gels, pouty lips, plucked eye brows and steroids were definitely a prerequisite to «hangout» here. I guess I didn’t fit the mold.
The servers were definitely eye-​candies, but not much else going on there. You got a bunch of old men ogling at them who fit the profiles of pedophiles featured on Dateline with Chris Hansen’s «To Catch A Predator» series. They were sweet and nice, but ain’t the sharpest tools in the shade. Service is also very s-​l-​o-​w.
Wifey and I ordered two beers (No Guinness… Sacrilege!!!) and opted for a couple of Stella’s instead. They took my coupon and charged me 18 dollars for the two beers.
What?
I ain’t that cheap a bastard (only when it comes to certain things) but charge me $ 9 for a beer? Cocktail I understand, but a Stella? C’mon… They also lack a variety of good beer. Surely you can afford to have better beer options that I can get from a local liquor store. Some local micro brews is a start.
I ended up ordering two more to wash down the pizza that we ordered. The pizza that was badly burnt that I could taste charcoal on the crust. If I wasn’t so preoccupied watching (more like fuming) at the Niners vs. Saints game, I would have returned the pizza and ordered another one. Oh yeah, the beers came first and waited for the pizza for over half an hour before it got to our counter.
And no… I’m not rating this place 2 stars because my Niners lost, it’s because of service, quality and expectations — all were lacking and needed polishing. A lot of polishing given Vegas’ high standards and there are plenty of other lounges that deliver the goods.
The one highlight of the night was to see Rashad Evans walk in with his bodyguard and girlfriend.
But with the amount of money one could overspend here, I would expect the caliber to be on par. It should be renamed Douche Lounge.

After dining at STK this was a perfect spot for after dinner drinks. Before we entered there was a gentleman handing out drink tickets. If memory serves it was for a two for one special but that only covered well drinks. The lounge is large with intimate seating and on the dark side as far as lighting goes. The music was not too loud that our group was not able to converse comfortably. The waitress was attentive. And the bathroom was in the lounge which I appreciated because quite a few lounges and restaurants on the strip you have to leave the venue to use. The drinks are pricey! $ 18 for my Carrot Cake martini but it was so good I had three of them! I mean you can’t go wrong with a drink rimmed with butter cream frosting!

Lot’s of coupons for free drinks, a bouncer who gave us VIP for free, and some decent music.
Too bad the crowd was typical skeezy vegas local and under dressed tourist.
It has potential, but not with the crowd that was here. Enforce a dress code or something !!

The deuce. Pricey ass drinks as per usual.

The Lounge was very nice, we were here for March Madness and they had giant projection TVs with the games on. Drinks were about avg price for bars in Vegas, Food was a little pricey but good. Next time I am in Vegas I do plan on stopping by here. Very clean, nice and luxurious

The Good: 2-​for-​1 drink coupons and decent music
The Bad: Pretentious crowd and less than pleasant bartenders.
Good place to start your night for a free drink but I wouldn’t go out of my way to go here.

I met up with some friends on a Saturday night. This is what you’d call a «pre-​game» spot. A little more lively than a bar, but not a nightclub atmosphere. It never got overly crowded, and while the DJ (DJ Shadow Red was spinning that night) was fantastic, only a few people danced here and there. The lounge itself is dark and comfortable.
However– the prices for their «specialty drinks» were pretty outrageous. $ 18?!! I don’t think I’ve paid more than $ 15-​$ 16, TOPS, and I’ve been to most of the lounges in town. The bartender said they were out of the ingredients for one of them at 10:45 (um… okay). While I enjoyed the drink I received, the price definitely soured me a bit.
The non-​specialty drinks were more reasonably priced, however. The cocktail servers, while great eye-​candy, were few and far between, and didn’t check on our table very often.
All in all, it was a fine experience, the music was good, there was no cover, and it was nice to be in a lounge setting for a change. I’ll just make sure not to order their fancy drinks again!

So, Aria is a beautiful hotel with a great location, and is one of the newest hotels on the strip. The Deuce Lounge is, accordingly, a beautiful and trendy looking venue that has no line to get in. It is a bar not a dance club.
The problem with this place is the crowd. Not to be mean, but it just wasn’t an attractive crowd, and you could tell it was the people who couldn’t get in anywhere else that came here (alas, we came here after we were too late for our reservations at Marquee). It is unfortunate, because the place has a lot of potential.
There are people handing out 2 for 1 drinks cards all over the Aria lobby, which should have been my first sign that something was wrong… never good when a Vegas club (or bar) is begging people to go there.
Try something else. it’s Vegas after all.

Came by for a private party the other night and the ambiance was pretty chill. Word on the street is that this is usually a private blackjack room with $ 500 minimum per table.
Drinks and hor d’oeuvres were both good.
