It all depends on WHICH security guy you meet. In Cosmopolitan after a Marquee Pool party they made us leave the back of the casino (valet exit), when I actually wanted to exit the front door (my car was at Planet Hollywood). I told the security dude it was stupid, and he then “trespassed” me from the casino for the rest of the day ?? Note I had no drinks that day, so I was not a belligerent drunk. The security was just being a power-corrupt idiot.

My other two pet peeves:

– Parking fees

– the Live Entertainment Tax passed by Nevada that adds ~10 dollars to every nightclub ticket I buy. They were already collecting sales tax, so why add a second tax? Greedy politicians

.

SLS is boring. I’ve been there twice for pool parties, featuring 3rd tier DJs, and was not impressed by the scene or decor.

Cleo and Bazaar are disappointing compared to their Hollywood & Beverly Hills locations. Sure the food is good, but Cleo in Hollywood is decorated with images of actresses (as Cleopatra) all around the restaurant, which is located in an retro historic building.

Bazaar Beverly Hills is subdivided into 5 sections: Outside patio, inside restaurant, back-of-house dark area for romance, and a late night bar that stays open even after the restaurant has closed. There’s also a whole section devoted to unusual displays (the bazaar)

If you want to have a direct impact, take a couple of minutes to tell SLS that you crossed them off your to-do list (and why). The response will tell you a lot about the management. Email addresses and social media links can be found on their Contact page:

I thought about emailing but realized I would have to lie. This property isn’t one I’d voluntarily visit…so saying I’m boycotting is basically lying.

Maybe they want their own official pictures published and not a reporter or tourist? If they take down walls during or after construction, I’d say it’s fair to take pics, unless there is a notice prohibiting that. Hopefully they get their act together and help revitalize the area!

Same here. For years, actually.

Not the case during my visits. The restaurants do well (and make more than the casino), but the casino floor is often completely empty.

Classic!

Agree and thanks. I did a little mention on Channel 8. Their policy is misguided, especially when smartphone cameras have such excellent photo quality–the distinction between iPhones and pro cameras is diminishing with each passing day.

Yes, yes and more yes. It’s not just annoying, it’s telling of the competence and attitude of management.
