text: There are three bars located within El Cortez.  Skip the other two.  \n\nThe Parlour was a helluva good time, and, frankly a sight for sore eyes as I'd been enduring absolutely awful drinks elsewhere all evening.  We were pleasantly surprised to see a full menu of classic cocktails, at reasonable prices, in a swanky, classy setting complete with a lounge singer at the piano.  I'm no Vegas expert, but this place matched up to the mental image I'd created prior to visiting.  \n\nService was excellent.  We had a large group, plus a larger birthday party near us, and the Pendleton Whiskey gals showed up!  Our one server kept those drinks coming, was super sweet, and was a great sport when we got her involved in some photo shenanigans as well.  The old-timey feel and comfy cozy seats sealed the deal for this lil swank-town bar.  \n\nWhy no five stars?  The actual drinks themselves, though a definite A for effort, and I'm not complaining, weren't very good.  Better than most drinks I had that night, but some major misses for a place trying to showcase classic cocktails (Manhattans, Juleps, martinis, etc.).  I know it's relatively new, maybe they're still working out some kinks.
