Throughout The Strip, there are numerous bars/lounges similar to ARIA's The Deuce, but, for whatever reason, the first to come to mind is The Bellagio's Lily Bar. Both are dark and cozy, with a posh and modern d\u00e9cor, and have a bunch of tables and couches scattered about (that may or may not actually be \"reserved\"). \n\nOn the flip side, unlike Lily Bar and so many others, there are actually some blackjack tables within The Deuce, which is pretty cool. The limits seem a little higher than on the casino floor, but it's convenient if you're going to be gambling that much anyways. Not to mention the fact drinks seem to come out faster as well.\n\nWhile the blackjack tables were a pleasantly unexpected sight, it was more surprising to me how quiet the scene was for a Friday. Granted it could have just been this one night, or that we got there late, but it never got that busy while we were there. Then again, without a dance floor (or a DJ, for that matter), The Deuce isn't that type of lounge/bar anyways.\n\nAll in all, even though it may not significantly set itself apart from lounges like Lily Bar or The Chandelier in Cosmo, The Deuce is just fine. It perfectly fit what we were looking for - a plush, relaxing lounge with plenty of seats, friendly staff, and a relaxed vibe for a great night with friends, both old and new.\n\nBTW, on an unrelated note...this place is called \"The Deuce\". Heh hehheh heh...
