Good bar/lounge to pre-game??

[Low Roller]

Hey guys/gals, what’s a good spot for a post-dinner/pre-club drink during the week… preferably someplace with a “cool” vibe/atmosphere or a nice view, good drinks and service, etc. Are there any board faves?? Considering:

Mix or Foundation Room (Mandalay)
Voodoo (Rio)
Chandelier or Bond (Cosmo)
Fontana or Caramel (Belagio)
Mandarin Bar (Mandarin Oriental)
View Bar (Aria)
Parasol Down (Wynn)

Feel free to recommend any others you like.

Thanks in advance. Love this website!

Out of your suggestions, I've been to Mix, Voodoo Lounge, Caramel and Parasol Down. I found Voodoo Lounge to be the most complete in terms of what you're looking for. I found Mix to be really quiet. For people watching, probably Parasol Down, especially if you're going to be heading to Tryst.

My friend swears on the Imperial Palace though, strictly for the cheap stiff drinks when he plays (they offer doubles for players) and for me, I like Carnival Court for the stiff drinks and the female bartenders who are some of the most amazing bartenders in Las Vegas (I think).

After all these years, nothing beats Ghostbar for me in terms of pregaming and a view.

I've only been to Ghostbar once, but I have to agree. I like the view there better than Voodoo Lounge. It's got a more "fun" vibe. Voodoo Lounge seems a little dark. But, they each have their own pros and cons.

Blush... Wynn..
V bar at Veneitan
Deuce at Aria...

I like Mix just for the view... the vibe and crowd there is very hit or miss... it's worth doing once for sure.

Well there are some unknown factors...such as ultimate destination etc....but i would say Blush or for view Ghostbar.
