Please read my updated review in the updated section đđđ
The Carousel Bar was actually our very first stop after checking in to our Hotel. My brother and I were actually looking very forward to trying this place out, since they finally did something with that area.
We belly up to the bar sat down and waited for about Five minutes before anyone actually took notice of us being there, besides the other three people a few seats away from us.
A Gentleman was setting up and said I'm sorry I'm actually not on shift at the moment, but I'll send one of the other two ladies over. After another Five minutes one actually came over and took our drink order which was just a couple beers on tap. We both ordered two different types on tap, and when we received them they were very cold actually which was nice as it was 109°F that day. After a couple of sips I said to my brother is your Beer just as Skunky as mine ( yes he said ) so we mentioned it to the Bartender and she poured them out. So we decided to just order a couple of the Local canned beers in the cooler. Those were much better and very cold...
So after having our first Beers it still took her forever to ask us if we would like anything else. So we only had another drink each and asked for our Bill as well. We actually were surprised that she didn't take ( both skunk Beers off the Bill )
I would have loved to have given the Carousel Bar a Five for Atmosphere, but the service was so slow it took the Atmosphere away from the entire experience that we were actually looking very forward to.
And a tip I would definitely suggest if you were ever thinking of trying a Draft Beer, is ask for a sample taste to see if it's Skunky. And just mentioned I've heard some of the Beers are Skunky On Tap. Because that sits outside all day, plus some of the Beer deliveries may not be in refrigerated trucks. So that may even cause it to be Skunky as well...
Carousel Bar is such a fabulous idea, but it definitely needs a little work in our opinion. Hopefully it was just an off day, but I've read a few others on here, it seems to be the same service we had as well with some others.
Will definitely give it a try again when we come back. But if it's the same as the first time. There's no way will be going back, as there's plenty of other great places...
   Read moreThe Plaza Hotel and Casino is a landmark of downtown Las Vegas, a classic, as vintage Vegas as it gets. Located at the beginning of the Fremont Street Experience, it is a famous building that has been featured or is visible in several movies, including the 1971 James Bond film, "Diamonds are Forever;" "Back to the Future Part II; "Casino," and "Pay it Forward.
The hotel's entrance is a dazzling display of lights and colors that welcomes you to a world of entertainment and excitement. The entrance features the distinctive dome (where the Oscarâs Steakhouse sits) and covers a new circular bar below it, called the Carousel Bar. This bar is a unique attraction that offers cocktails, and outdoor video poker machines in a life-sized, animated Vegas-themed carousel setting. The Bar has carousel horses that move up and down, a spinning martini glass, a deck of cards, and a 14-foot-tall neon showgirl sign that invites you to sip in style. The entrance is a destination unto itself, where you can take the best instagramable photos, chill, people watch, or host an event under the iconic glittering lights of the Plaza's porte-cochère. A must...
   Read moreZero stars is appropriate. I would like to file a complaint against the woman bartender working here on the early afternoon of September 21st. The lady had the worst customer service I've ever experience in this area. When asked about cocktails displayed the bartender was rude and responded in a way that was belittling to me and my friend. After dismissing her attitude, we simply asked for the cost of the cocktail and the bartender pointed to a menu list across the bar and said to us "all the prices are on the menu over there." My friend made a comment to me about how rude the bartender was and the bartender overheard our conversation and decided to aggressively engage with us again. Asking in a very snarky manner if my friend was "okay". After answering her question and letting her know we didn't appreciate her attitude she asked security to make us leave as she didn't want to serve us. This lady was disgusting and completely out of order. Will encourage "others" to not visit during the day. She had no problem being visibly hospitable to customers who...
