Best bars before XS ?

[Mr C]

Hi All,

What are the best bars to hit before going to XS, aside from Blush ?

We are looking for busy and lively spots to do a bit of pre-gaming, especially chat to the ladies who are likely to be heading to XS.

We'll be hitting Blush before going to Tryst on Thursday, so we'll be doing bottle service at XS on Friday and ideally wanted somewhere different to Blush.

Thanks !

Parasol Up/Down are always good. They're a bit more of your regular casino bar than a whole lounge like Blush is.

the eastside lounge in Encore is where everyone walks by to get to the hallway that leads to xs, and lots of people meet up there for a drink to kill time and meet up with their friends before heading in. also, the bar at botero is a good meeting place for groups before they head in to xs.

V-Bar at the Venetian is a good before mega-club spot. It's also not too bad of a walk to get from there to XS.

I go to Eastside Lounge sometimes before XS. Personally I rather drink the same booze at significantly cheaper prices in my hotel room...
