text: After Krave's birth, death, resurrection, death, rebirth, and death once again, I think it's fair to say that the Strip was overdue for a new gay nightclub...\n\nThat's where Liaison stepped in.\n\nLiaison is unique in that it's right in the heart of a major Strip casino -- albeit not the trendiest or the shiniest on the block (Bally's).  But at least the location is nice and central.\n\nI dropped by Liaison on Vegas Pride weekend, expecting out-of-control crowds and cover charges.  None of that happened -- when I arrived around 11:30pm, the friendly bouncer just waved me inside, and I didn't pay a dime.\n\nThe interior is quite lovely.  It has a retro vibe with lots of paintings and detail that's to be expected of a Drai's property.  Bartenders are fast and friendly, and drink prices are pretty average for the area ($10 for a gin and soda).  The music is mostly non-danceable EDM that everybody except me seems to enjoy.\n\nThere are two main areas (front and back) with a little corridor between them.  When one area is busy, the other one is dead.  Too bad Liaison can't attract enough of a crowd to fill up both spaces.  A half-empty nightclub is good for nobody -- and on Pride weekend, no less?  Yikes.\n\nHopefully with some good promotion and a few months for it to develop a loyal following, Liaison will finally be able to fill the void that Krave left behind.
