If you’re looking for a respite from Casino smoke and meanderers on the Strip, you may want to check out BLVD Cocktail. It’s located in the Linq promenade, which supplies the only access. You can’t wander your way in from the casino. This is a good thing, as it limits unnecessary foot traffic.
There is semicircular seating around the piano. Table seating is available in the “pit”. Not sure if they want me to call it that, but oh well. Additional seating can be found at the communal bar and a drink rail around the pit. I went on a Saturday night around 10:30 and my group was able to grab a table due to some good timing. However, there was still ample space on the drink rail. There is also a patio out front, but it was a little cold during my December trip to take advantage of it.
BLVD is certainly catering to a younger, “craft” concerned crowd. The funky artwork and light bulb cloud certainly make for a “groovy” atmosphere. There’s no way that’s the right adjective. It is a neat space though, much different than the typical casino bar.
If you’ve seen one giant light bulb cloud, you’ve seen them all.
I’ve long been hankering for quality robot art.
The drinks are well made at typical Strip prices. I quite enjoyed my old fashioned. Those of you caught up in the Fireball craze will be happy to know that they make their own in house. Yep, craft Fireball.
My “Hot Take”
Decent drinks at standard prices
Nice spot for some live music. Think “old” covers (Billy Joel, Green Day, etc.)
Lack of foot traffic offers a nice break from the busy casino
