Went there about a week ago to check it out for myself. We arrived after the kitchen had closed and they were cranking house/techno music throughout the empty restuarant. First impression.....Great, another "ultralounge" thats just what vegas needs. Beening a vegas local I can tell you right now this concept will fail simply because its been done by everyone else 100Xs over. The club/ultralounge scene here in Vegas is played out. Every mega resort hotel here already has 2 or 3 nightclub type venues.

We went outside on the deck overlooking the strip which does have a great view but its way too "ultramodern" and cold feeling. I did go upstairs to the lounge where the DJ booth was located only to find louder music and no south seas. Dont get me wrong, I dont have anything against loud music, Im a club DJ myself, however this guy must be a new "play it louder and maybe they will start dancing" type DJ.

We didnt eat there so I cant comment on the food but I did have 3 Mai Tais that were damn good.
