Allē Lounge on 66 — Restaurant in Las Vegas

Normally, I don’t take the time to write reviews, especially lengthy essays like this. But this is honestly the first time I have ever felt discriminated against based on my skin tone.

Apparently, any caucasian guest wearing shorts, hoodies, t-shirts, crocs, ripped jeans or jogging pants, meet the strict dress code requirements for this fine establishment.

HOWEVER, anyone with a darker skin tone, please do not wear Balmain hats, Burberry dress shirts, slacks, or Valentino slippers. Otherwise, you will be embarrassed in front of other patrons, while the host, suddenly states you need to leave unless you remove your hat and wear shoes.

This is not a Michelin star restaurant, it was a Wednesday night at a rooftop lounge, one of many I could’ve spent my hard earned money at. I have lived in Vegas for over 5 years, and this is the first time I’ve ever been kicked out of an establishment for “inappropriate attire”.

I respect dress codes, in fact, anyone who knows me, will say I over dress. So, after changing into sneakers, I called the Conrad the front desk to inform them I felt singled out and discriminated against. The front desk receptionist apologized, and said the lounge is run independently, so there was not much they could do. She asked if I would like to speak with the Conrad manager, but I declined, and I went back up to lounge 66 to reunite with my group and have a fun night. And although I continued to wear my hat, I was not bothered by any of the staff. And despite receiving subpar and rude service, I still tipped 18%.

After the meal, I was still annoyed, so I asked to speak with the manager, just to let him know how I felt. Kyle, the manager, does not understand the concept of customer service. Instead, he spoke to me in a condescending tone, which made the hostess, who made me change into sneakers, giggle and smirk. I said she was being rude, but instead of acknowledging his employee’s rudeness toward an unhappy guest (like any normal manager would do). Kyle looked at me and said, “don’t look or talk to her, I’m speaking to you”.

I am all for managers defending their staff, but Kyle Shannon, was the most rude and disrespectful person I’ve ever met at Resorts World. He then proceeded to kick me out of the restaurant…fine I’ll leave. I’ve been kicked out a better places than this 😂

So I walk over to my to group to let them know what’s going on. Kyle follows right behind me and states I must leave or he will call security.

I left without making a scene, and went straight down to the Conrad front desk. After hearing my terrible experience, the receptionist went to get the Conrad manager, who kindly apologized to me, and then comped all the charges to my room. Now that is what you call customer service!! I honestly didn’t even care or want the comp….it was the principle. Any business can set their own rules, but they must enforce them equally for ALL guests, regardless of race, religion or any preconceived notions or stereotypes.

Hopefully, senior level executives at Resorts World realize that Kyle is better suited to manage a restaurant at Circus Circus….because that’s...

September 2025 Why this last visit of mine to Allē Lounge on 66 would be the one to convince me that the place is just not worth it would be difficult to express logically. Especially as the items I ordered were not from Allē's menu but selections from the weekend pop-up, José Luis León Martínez of Licorería Limantour (reportedly running through 14 September).

Crispy Branzino Fish Sliders ($18): Two burgers, small amount of fish, soft buns but, not being required to hold in the juiciness of a typical slider, retained structure. Nice tasting bites.

Mango con Chile and Mexican Margarita (each $20): Each nice in their own way, but also rather unremarkable to my palate and quite weak, IMO.

Value: Below average with the pop-up menu being high-priced like Allē's, without any recover due to size, uniqueness, or strength of flavor.

Service: Andrea the server was most pleasant with frequent check-ins. Hostesses were a tad more perfunctory.

October 2024 After ambling up The Strip for an hour, figured Resorts World would be my turnaround point, and decided to try out Allē Lounge on 66 before heading back south. Wandered through the (atmosphere-wise) cold mall and caught sight of the directional sign in an off corridor; does the hotel want potential patrons to find this place or not? Elevator whisked us up to level 66; turn left from the bank and head toward Princess Diana. Prince Charles was around the corner. Did not have a reservation, so the hostess let me know I could seat myself at the bar in the center of the room. (I have since learned that Allē Lounge on 66 is on OpenTable and, even better, accepts solo diners).

Got water and the menu. Chose firstly- Banana Bread ($25): Partly because the ingredients interested me, partly out of a curiosity-would the drink live up to that ambitious price? Judgment: not quite; tasty yes, smooth, spiced well, light sweetness, and good presentation. I still felt that, at twenty-five dollars, that drink should sing, or make me sing, Hallelujah!

Halfway through the cocktail, the bartender brought out a couple of complementary snacks-sugared nuts (great), and potato chips, which were incredibly salty. Mission accomplished I guess, as I felt compelled to order a different cocktail to counter the salt mine weighing down my tongue- Cherry Blossom ($19): Delightfully tart citrus, gave a small mouth pucker sensation.

Service: Fine.

Value: Debatable. The cocktails were different, and ranged from $20 to $28, so one may find a drink within the wallet comfort zone, given the location. Food options looked interesting. There was enough here to lure me back. Cautiously.

Atmosphere: Clubby. Pop art pictures, wood paneling, crystal decanters; plenty of plush chairs, most with views. Bar location, though just as lavish, had less to interest the eye in comparison. Video poker machines were low-profile embedded into the bar top. TVs were mounted but not actually turned on. An electric violinist held the stage that night playing covers of rock songs. Then, the outdoor patio-great views no question; though seemed not a lot of real estate for an advertised...

Beneath the grandeur of Resorts World, ALLE Lounge 66 stands out as a haven of metropolitan grace, where every element is meticulously designed to enchant the senses. Upon entering the lounge, you are enveloped in a carefully orchestrated chiaroscuro: walls adorned in deep, muted ebony beautifully contrast with plush seating that basks in gently cascading pools of amber light. Subtle metallic accents glimmer and refract this warm glow, creating a space that feels both intimately inviting and expansively airy—a sanctuary from the bustling energy of the outside world.

The cocktail program at ALLE Lounge 66 is a true masterclass in mixology. The Bourbon Old Fashioned is served in a robust, heavy-bottomed glass, its rich amber liquid swirling around a solitary, crystalline ice cube that seems to glisten in the dim light. The aroma is a tantalizing embrace of oak-aged spirit, with deep notes of vanilla and caramel beckoning your senses. As you take the first sip, a perfectly balanced interplay of sweetness and delicate bitterness unfolds, where the gentle spice of Angostura bitters weaves seamlessly with just-ripe demerara sugar, resulting in an Old Fashioned that feels both timeless and refreshingly modern, adding a touch of timeless elegance to your experience.

Equally captivating is the Suzuki Lemon Drop, poured into a delicately slender coupe that shimmers like liquid gold. Its fragrance tantalizes the senses, promising an exquisite citrus experience. The initial sip bursts forth with a sharp, vibrant lemon essence, quickly tempered by a sophisticated wave of sweetness and a subtle, piquant acidity that playfully dances upon the palate. This cocktail is a splendid study in contrasts—radiantly bright yet intriguingly complex, full of whimsy yet elegantly refined—showcasing the bartenders' extraordinary ability to blend technique with imagination.

Perched high above the famed Strip, ALLE Lounge 66 offers a view that is nothing short of breathtaking. Beyond the expansive glass façade, the city's electric skyline unfolds like a stunning canvas, a mesmerizing tapestry of twinkling lights that elevates the lounge's sophisticated glow. Here, enjoying a nightcap transcends the mere act of sipping; it evolves into an immersive ritual—a harmonious moment where the serene atmosphere, the artistry of exquisite libations, and the scintillating panorama of the Las Vegas Strip converge. For anyone seeking an exceptional evening retreat, ALLE Lounge 66 stands as a luminous treasure, a hidden gem waiting to...
