Why:
Adjacent to some gaming areas in the Venetian casino complex sits a gem of a lounge bar called The Dorsey. The Venetian is a little more upmarket than the casinos further down the strip and this lovely bar is not the place to wear your trackies and Nikes.
It is swanky without being ostentatious and is where the young and hip, middle-aged and wealthy and all of those in between come to start, finish or continue their casino-hop. A visit to The Venetian is probably incomplete without a visit to The Dorsey.
Like many lounge bars on the Strip, this lounge is intimately lit, partly by the small lamps on or near your low table in front of the lounge you’ll be sitting on, partly by the lights of the bar and the gaming machines outside, and partly by the almost too white smiles of the mainly female wait-staff all rocking their LBD’s. It is an unashamedly smooth and sexy vibe inside but equally high-class, and each of the wait-staff who will serve you are not only obviously visually attractive but also eloquently well-spoken.
Post-9pm you will enjoy the beats of a talented line-up of DJs. At other times, music is otherwise smooth modern house blending into the background so you can take a breath and have a conversation at low volume.
Their lengthy list of in-house cocktails is impressive and they will also happily serve up decent versions of your favourite cocktails that are not on their list if you ask nicely. However, you will likely be quite content with what is on their list and you will likely be quite happy to tip well if the service we received was anything to go by (and we suspect it is).
