Lounge Review: PUFF after-hours lounge and hookah

PUFF after-hours lounge and hookah

As we entered PUFF, we were met by Jonah the head doorman, who is a man of substantial size and class. He greeted us with and professionalism and briefed us on the venue’s events. Immediately upon entering, expect your eyes to wander throughout this appetizing after-hours lounge. PUFF possesses an entertainment rich environment complimented by the faintly sweet aroma of relaxing hookah. This venue primarily mixes house, but reggae Wednesdays and karaoke Thursdays can be found here as well. Our attention quickly turned to the gorgeous dancers on stage display, moving to the DJ inspired mood. The drinks at PUFF are very reasonably priced and cocktails extremely well made. We found the wait staff attentive, talented, and eager to please their guests. After grabbing a couple drinks, we decided to try one of PUFF’s specialty hookahs, and we were NOT disappointed. You can either enjoy your hookahs and drinks bar side or in one of

their luxuriously comfortable couches, cushions, or tables. Very good to locals,we anticipate this establishment doing well. And for our out of town vacationers, with PUFF’s location just east of the strip off Flamingo at Cambridge, this might be just what you’re looking for, after your night at the club. PUFF has truly encompassed everything you could expect from an after-hours lounge; with its DJ inspired dance floor, VIP tables and service, and unique specialty hookahs, We at SceneLasVegas not only recommend you visit, but we will definitely add this spot to memory and enjoy some of our after-hours here as well. With plans in the works to make PUFF open 24 hours we would classify PUFF as one of our top picks for a “Strip Alternative.” If there is anything else you would like to see in further reviews, please don’t hesitate to ask. And as always, enjoy your night out! -Jon Anthony Find out more about nightclubs in Las Vegas at SceneLasVegas.com

Lounge Review: EYECANDY LOUNGE at MANDALAY HOTEL AND CASINO

EYECANDY LOUNGE at MANDALAY

Immediately drawn in by the clever lighting and modern furniture, we entered Eyecandy, an extremely high-tech lounge inside the Mandalay Bay Hotel and Casino. This dress-code free lounge is equipped with two full service bars, plenty of comfortable seating, and a spacious dance floor inspired by the house DJ. If you’re not in the dancing mood, Eyecandy boasts two enormous projection screens where the latest fights and sporting events can be viewed. Self entertainment is easily full-filled by one of their four unique “pods,” which integrate touch sensitive technology built into these computer based units.The units are something similar to “windows” on your personal computer with many functions, from creating simple artwork, to utilizing one of Eyecandy’s eight

in house cameras to view what’s going on inside the club. Dance on them, draw on them, or use them to send a message to one of the other three “pods” if you feel so inclined. We at Scene Las Vegas would classify Eyecandy as an informal upscale lounge offering plenty interactive and self entertainment. It provides an enjoyable “low key” environment that compliments this venue’s dancing and nightlife scene. Eyecandy is a smoke free environment, so you’ll have to briefly exit the lounge to have that cigarette. With reasonable drink prices, a generous dance floor, and technologically advanced toys, Eyecandy is enjoyable whether you’re starting the night out or winding it down. If there is anything you would like to see in future reviews, please don’t hesitate to ask. And as always, enjoy your night out! -Jon Anthony

Lounge Review: BLUE MARTINI

BLUE MARTINI

This Martini Bar is anything but ordinary- We not only enjoyed our time here but were amazed by this clever nightlife scene. The Blue Martini captures the feel of a sexy upscale martini bar, and sets a new standard in the ultra lounge arena. A guest list is available; however, you need to make it clear if you’re on it, as the entrance atop the stairs can become crowded and the doorman eager to shuffle people to the end of the line. That being said, we did find the rest of the staff to be very professional and accommodating. The dance floor was adequate with exceptional sound and lighting. We found the wait staff service wonderful and efficiently talented, quickly serving the sometimes three deep lines that surrounded their service bar. The drink prices were reasonable and the cocktails very well made. If you find the multi tiered interior a little too intrusive, you can enjoy your drinks and company outdoors on the Blue Martini’s very generous balcony/patio. With the full service bars both indoors and balcony side, extravagantly comfortable VIP tables, and a DJ inspired dance floor, the Blue Martini encompasses everything you could hope to find in the search for the perfect strip alternative. Not only are Wednesday nights enormously popular, but we found this Friday night to be quite the “hotspot” as well. SceneLasVegas gives this establishment a 4 ½ star rating and we are anxious for a return visit as we easily see The Blue Martini becoming one of our favorite strip alternatives.

If there is anything you would like to see in future reviews please don’t hesitate to ask- and as always, enjoy your night out!

Lounge Review: DOS CAMINOS at the PALAZZO

DOS CAMINOS AT THE PALAZZO

We at SceneLasVegas were pleasantly impressed by this fairly new addition to Las Vegas nightlife. Dos Caminos ultra lounge and restaurant has many key aspects that will soon add this lounge to Scene’s TOP 10. The atmosphere, genuinely unique, allows for a DJ inspired dance floor to meet comfortable conversation in one of their private booths. As you walk through the entrance of Dos Caminos if the intoxicating, yet subtle lighting doesn’t immediately catch your eye then the modern elegance of their water feature to your left certainly will. The glow of this venue is pleasing and inviting to say the least. The talented DJ energizes the crowd with his mix of pop and hip hop. The multi tiered lounge is perfect for entertaining a party of any size. We found the Hosts and Wait staff eager to accommodate, making their way though clever layout to ensure the guests were enjoying themselves and their wants being met. With plenty of VIP tables, and European bottle service available, you could easily find yourself spending the entire night at Dos Caminos. It boasts an exceptional full service bar, where the gorgeous cocktail staff prepare your favorite drink. We found the crowd fun and easy to talk with. We have been impressed by The Palazzo Hotel and Casino and were excited to find Dos Caminos was no exception. Although this lounge is just now hitting the night life scene, it has done very well, and we at SceneLasVegas.com will be anticipating great things and this venues continuing success.

If there is anything you would like to see in future reviews please don’t hesitate to ask- and as always, enjoy your night out!
