Casual bars

[Moose]

I'm heading to Vegas for the first time in a couple of weeks. What kind of options are there in terms of just casual bars? i.e. dressed in sneakers, jeans, casual shirt/t-shirt as opposed to clubwear, with a upbeat atmosphere and somewhere to dance? I'm think I'm looking at places similar to Carnival Court from what I can gather. Is Carnival Court the only/best option?

Any tips would be appreciated, we're there for a week and don't want to hit the clubs every night.

There are a couple of really cool dueling piano bars - thinking of Harrah's and NY/NY off-hand. Those places get loud, people sing along, and there's some raucous drinking going on in there. It's a great time.

Brew pub in the Monte Carlo has dueling pianos too. Good beer on tap, good atmosphere..

Same here... Going to Vegas in May ... want to go clubbing but also want to check out some laid-back bars. My plan is to do my own bar crawl starting at Harrah's Carnaval Court and walk (or stumble) up the strip. All of these are fairly close - Margaritaville (Flamingo), Rockhouse (Imperial), Chatteau beer garden (Paris - not sure about this one), Cabo Wabo/Fat Tuesday (PH). I'll save the lounges/clubs for another night.

The Pub in Monte Carlo is always a good pub, Same for the Irish bar in NYNY

Love the idea of the pub crawl! As awesome as the clubs are, sometimes you just want a night of 300 not stomping your toes!

I went to Chatteau beer garden 3/25 and 3/26 had a blast. No cover no dress code girls dancing on the tables. I would definitely check it out.

Off the strip- blue Martini.

Is it connected to the Chateau nightclub?

Blue Martini is a good spot on Wednesday nights as of last year. There's also a few other places there that are casual to start off with at Town Square like Yard House.

A family friend that used to work for Harrahs in New Orleans/Paris Las Vegas had given a thumbs up overall for Nine Five Irishmen also (He's a chef by profession so I take his word).

Yeah it's the outdoor patio for the club.
