Fashion snobs?

by sneakerz

Ha! I can't believe the last reviewer had the exact same experience as I did...walked up wearing jeans, a blazer and silver Adidas...

Door man: "Ahem, we don't allow running shoes in the lounge..."

Seriously? You allow denim but not sneakers?

Please...it's a casino lounge in Las Vegas... Apparently they consider themselves a whole lot 'classier' than just about every other place in town...

• Pros: Convenient location for drinks inside the Bellagio casino
• Cons: Fashion snobs?

Trendy doesn't cut it

by Siberg

I'd love to write about how expensive the drinks were, but I was stopped at the door for wearing the typical jeans, button down shirt, blazer, and ahhh yes, Sneakers! Apparently those were too casual to step foot in the lounge. Be prepared for dress code.

• Pros: Music
• Cons: Stubborn dress code for a lounge

swanky lounge with good drinks

by chelseafeilen

The prices are steep- it is Bellagio after all. But this lounge/bar is very relaxed and pretty. The lighting is dim, the music is good. Just don't get a water- $6 for a tiny Evian

This inviting casino-side lounge blends the easygoing mood of a neighborhood hangout with martini-bar sophistication.

In Short
Fresh flowers and glass sculptures accent the room's jewel-toned decor, while comfy leather chairs, marble-topped tables and a super-sized community ottoman provide ideal seating arrangements for intimacy or socializing. Dancing is secondary to conversation and sampling imaginative, potent cocktails. An unexpected escape from the slot-machine flurry just yards away, the glass walls are one-way, so patrons can spy on the casino craziness in relative privacy.

Sleek

by blondewonder

This small lounge was pefect for pre-O cocktails. It was very serene inside - the space was gorgeous, as were the employees. Although the banquets were reserved for bottle service, we were seated at one anyway, which we found preferable to sitting at the bar or at the long table that stretched the length of the lounge. Interesting mix of music - as we walked in, 50 Cent was playing, but that quickly changed to 80s hits. The Oreo Shake martini was one of the most creative dessert cocktails I've ever had, and the small carafe it was presented in was a nice (if not puzzling) touch.

• Pros: beautiful space, delicious drinks, not crowded
• Cons: expensive

Good place

by ctac

Just like any other place in Belaggio it is expensive. But you should try it. Their presentation of vodka shot with caviar is interesting. I would go there again next time I'm in Vegas. Around the time it opens it is a best time for a drink and conversation because it is not crowded.

Stylish & Cozy!

by travelgal

Loved this place! Drinks are quite pricey but, if you enjoy strong, flavorful concoctions, it's worth it. The Oreo shake martini is amazing -- dessert in a glass! Plus, there's no cover and no line or attitude at the door. The setting somehow manages to be sleek & stylish yet warm & inviting at the same time. It's small inside, so you may have to stand, but the D.J. was spinning a good mix of old school pop and hip-hop and then more modern dance music, so we didn't care. The crowd was an eclectic, well-dressed mix. The perfect place to get your night started or to finish it up! Also a good alternative if ghostbar at The Palms isn't your type of lounge scene.

• Pros: stylish & inviting, amazing drinks, not pretentious
• Cons: , small

Perfect

by nyyankeechickee

What they do here, they do right. Small initimate setting, perfect place for drinks and conversation...trendy and romantic... even a good place to have some drinks before you go elsewhere. Service is superb, cocktail waitresses are extremely attentive and polite and genuinely happy to have you there and to serve you. Never waited or saw a line outside to get in..Would definitley recommend and will be back! :)

• Pros: atmosphere, drinks, service

Posh and Upscale

by buksfan

This bar is hard to get into unless you inform the door guy that you plan to drop several hundred dollars inside. BUT, once you are inside the atmosphere is great and so is the service. They play great music and the drinks are larger than I've seen just about anywhere. Caramel is definitely worth checking out while in Las Vegas.

• Pros: Great music, Good service, Large drinks
• Cons: Small , Crowded

Sleek & Sexy

by aka_tus

In addition to some great specialty martinis, Caramel boasts one of the best-looking rooms in Vegas (which isn't surprising considering it's in one of the best looking casinos). It's small, dark lit with muted tones and amber lighting, but that made it more intimate, a great place to relax with a cool drink. Speaking of which, the drinks aren't cheap, but they're big, and they're very good. The bartenders were great - very friendly and very attractive! (Maybe that's why I was so impressed!) I'm definitely going back the next time I'm in Vegas.

• Pros: beautiful room, great drinks, great barstaff
• Cons: expensive
