Were celebrating a 50th Birthday in Vegas and wanted to go out without going to a crazy club. Hyde Lounge (emphasis on the word lounge) sounded like a good place and overall it was.\n\nThe place itself is very nice. If you happened to have been here before when it was still the Fontana you will be amazed at the renovations. We had a table, which was on the small side for 10 people, but they make up for it with the drawers located under the seats and the low sitting area above the seats. Our servers were ridiculously attentive to anyone who needed a refill (I prefer to pour my own drink however, so this did not work for me so well). And they do some fun stuff to keep you entertained like blast confetti in the air and pass out glow sticks. The view of the fountains is also pretty incredible (although there are other places at the Bellagio with amazing views - See review for Olives).\n\nThe reasons why I am giving it 3 stars however, stems from the following:\n\n1. The place is very small. I understand it is a lounge but if you want to order a drink at the bar or try to dance, you will be packed like a sardine unless you have a table.\n\n2. The \"dancers\" are incredibly creepy. I understand all the cool clubs have dancers in skimpy outfits and that this place is trying to be different, but is it really necessary to have them in ugly wigs and Jason masks on? Worse, is it really necessary for them to quietly come up to you and make you feel like you're at a haunted house instead of a Vegas lounge? I think not. I beg you Hyde Bellagio, please change this. It is super freaky.\n\n3. The music. Maybe I just went on a bad night, or maybe the DJ was drunk because it was his birthday. But while I totally appreciated the variety in genres, it definitely turned into rap/hip-hop hour for a long while and he definitely kept cutting songs off left and right. \n\nSo in short, not the best club I have ever been to but definitely not the worst. Had a great night overall and I think I would give it another shot for sure.
