ETA Lounge

Does the bartender even want to work here? Her Manhattan is decent but she named the price right away as if she did not want us to stay. Yep, you are right, you are not gettin g a tip! I’ll stick with my water since you didn’t want me to look at your beer menu…

Husband and I, sore throats and coming off of having fevers, took a last minute impromptu date. The original plan was to watch Deadpool. Until we stood in line and the husband mistaken the 855 showing for the imax experience. No imax for me. I’ll puke, and so will. the ticket price induce more vomit. Since this review isn’t about movies nor the theatre… let me get going.
We opted to chill in the lounge for a couple of drinks. How perfect since the bar was full all around except for some seats that weren’t smacked inbetween people. The no children gods were looking out for us. There are couch seatings along the inside, but I always thought it was reserved for those doing bottle service, etc. No bottle service here. Just pour me a glass of something.
We weren’t immediately greeted nor helped as all the bartenders were handling business on the other side. When a couple of them finally turned around, I made contact with the waitress. She soon approached without dismay, took our orders, asked if we wanted to start a tab, and off she went to do some mixology.
UNR vs UNLV was on. Twas an exciting game towards the end, considering we obly caught the end of the game. Music was playing which had me singing along to, plus, there werent any obnoxious drunk (s) inside… winner. Good looking out no children gods.
It was very clean and the decoration is very modern. I know on some nights the waitresses start dancing, and there’s a dj. We probably were a little early in the night to even catch it, but I didn’t care. Being couped up from being sick… I preferred the no dj vibe. Just wanted to sit and chill with my man over some drinks. Don’t get it twisted though, had there been a dj… my mother-​in-​law would’ve of whooped us for dancing our cold away because we only had movie duration alottment. Lol.
Husband just had Malibu and pineapples, while I opted for a top shelf margarita on the rocks. Both came out to 17bucks. It’s pretty averaged price to me considering you are in a casino. Other casinos do charge way more so I wasn’t in for a surprise. Fortunately, are drinks were potent. Lol. Twasnt overly «diluted». The patron to my margarita definitely kept the chest warm. I typically ask for a top shelf margarita or patron because the other types of tequilas make me puke. Nothing like cheap tequilas sliding down your throat with your full knowledge.
3 starts for just being average. The ETA lounge did its job for me. Nothing extra special or unique. Good neighborhood spot to kick it, have a few drinks, and socialize. In which I will recommend because of the above mentioned.
Definitely NOT a kid zone so leave the strollers and babies at home!

Use to be our favorite lounge in North Las Vegas to hang out with a verity of music. Now it’s nothing more then a copy of Revolver minus the good atmosphere. Aliante needs to can the Cowboy Troy want to be DJ and bring back the more balanced musical blend that it use to be. I can now see why they loose so much money and why Station Cosino’s bailed on them. It seems like the executives have no idea how to attract a younger crowd.

Worst service ever! INCREDIBLY RUDE service, terrible experience. Drinks took forever, so I asked, «What’s taking so long?» The bartender that didn’t make our drinks interfered and tells me, «Honey, do you have a problem?» Really? Ruined my night with bad energy. Doesn’t explain to me why the drinks took so long, but gave me an attitude. I had never experienced such rude service, ever! She even asked me to leave and pointed her finger towards the door. I was furious! I went to the casino security stand and asked for their manager. They only had their food and beverage manager in charged. Vanessa did apologize and asked if she can comp us a few drinks. It was nice of her, but we all decided to leave because of the bad vibe we got from the lounge. Definitely have a sour taste with Aliante Casino just because of what happened on 9÷5÷2015. 10 of us had to change our plan that night since we did plan to stay and gamble. Definitely wasn’t worth the $ 110 in drinks when I was treated so poorly.
P. S. I know for a fact that this would never happen at Red Rock Casino or at any other well-​managed casino in Las Vegas.

First off I been to this casino for five year. We love the sports bar and Eta the music great but we had nothing but problems with Amada she mean and bitchy. she make us feel terrible every time we go. We start looking in the bar to see if she there. We skip it now because she there. she will serve other people first and even ignores us on several occasions. We complained she still there ruin our night. its really sad. We just go somewhere else The sad thing is she means to other customer all the time. Please fire this sad mean person. This is from 2011 to 2015

As a regular in the ETA Lounge I’m probably biased but I’ve always loved the décor and the staff. On the weekend they have a DJ and a couple go-​go dancers. Sometimes it’s a little slow but it’s always a great place to just have a drink and sit with friends. The gambling ain’t terrible. Too bad there isn’t food served at the bar but they allow you to bring some in from the food court if you want. They make some great drinks overall. Some may experience a touchy staff person or two and I have first-​hand witnessed it. Generally speaking if you run into someone in service that’s annoyed then don’t tip and move on. Unfortunately sometimes people like to exchange words and that works two ways.
But if you get a chance to check out the Lounge I recommend it.

This is by far one of my favorite «locals» bars to stop in for a few drinks with a group of friends. The bartenders are always so welcoming and attentive and pour some of the best drinks in town! The lounge itself is beautiful with comfortable seating everywhere! Drinks and bottle service are reasonably priced and considering they often have live entertainment it’s a great value if you’re looking for a fun night out with friends.

My friends and I started coming to ETA Lounge when they were hosting a trivia night for a while. Even though they’ve since cancelled it, we still come almost every week. Sometimes I go on my own, too, because I prefer it to a smoky, loud bar like PT’s or Timbers. During the weekdays it’s really low-​key and a nice place to hang out.
We usually gamble a bit, and the bartenders are super attentive and friendly. Our usual bartender is Amanda, and she is awesome, but we also sometimes have Lingo, who is also nice. They seem to be there the most. They’ll both chit-​chat with you and have fun, but if someone walks up to the bar they stop what they’re doing and go right to the person.
On the weekends, it’s a different environment. They have dancers on the stage, there’s hookah, the music is louder, and there’s more people. It’s still fun and the service is still on point. They have a dress code, but it’s basically just against looking like a bum. Nothing outrageous. Just don’t come in your gym clothes. I never see them harping on anyone about it.
I’ve also come during a couple of special events, for the Superbowl and New Year’s Eve. Both were really, really busy, but they were appropriately staffed for it. The wait was never out-​of-​hand.
The prices are pretty normal and if you’re gambling that isn’t a very big deal anyway. I’ve seen people hit the progressive a couple of times, too, so it’s not a complete wash.
The only downside is that they don’t have draft beer, but you can ask for a glass if you want one and they have no qualms about it.

I’m giving this place only one star and it hurts me to do so. I moved to the area about 6 months ago. I was excited that there was a «nice» and «classy» place down the street. I went to eta for the first time last week on a Thursday and Lingo was behind the bar. Lingo was awesome, friendly and very attentive. I played the machines and just drank club soda with a lime which Lingo ensured my drink was never empty. Lingo informed me that they were having a party on Valentines night and encouraged me to check it out.
On valentines day, My husband and I were at the sports bar having some drinks and the bartenders there were great and friendly, we ended up going back into eta for their party. I wanted my husband to experience the great service I have had the night prior. That was until
Amanda served us. We ordered 2 beers and Amanda told us the total, didn’t even greet us, my husband made a comment about the beers being slightly higher than the race and sports bar, but I told my husband it was because eta offered entertainment. We paid for our beers without incident until Amanda stated to my husband «if you can’t afford the drinks, go back to race and sports». I was shocked at this comment because my husband is a physician and money is not an issue for us. I told Amanda we weren’t complaining and my husband was just confused. She continued to
look at the gentleman next to us and say «I hate dealing with broke white trash». I told her she had no right to make those comments about us and that we paid without complaining and there was no reason for her to attack us. She proceeded to tell my husband and I that this would be our last beer there and told us to go to a bar that we could «afford». Needless to say, its unfortunate that 1 bad seed will ruin the great service that we received from Lingo. Judging by the other reviews, it looks like Amanda is an ongoing problem. I had requested to speak with a manager and waited almost a half hour with no manager to be seen. I encourage anyone who hasn’t been there yet not to go there when Amanda is working. I have never been so disrespected by a bar tender before. Hopefully this casino will see this ongoing problem and handle it. It’s very unfortunate to have such a great place close to home that we now will not go back to as long as this disrespectful young lady is there. And hopefully their management could learn a thing or 2 about being efficient and handling a customer complaint without waiting 30 min and still no manager.

Small, like new, hip bar inside the Aliante casino. Reasonable prices and attentive staff. Regular, live entertainment and no cover. Great place to relax and unwind.

Each time we have gone to this lounge, the drinks have been awesome (long island ice tea, mojito, and some stiff jack on the rocks). Lingo even came back on several occasions to make sure that our drinks were satisfactory. The dancers are entertaining, after much debate my girlfriend and I agree that the Asian girl is the best dancer. The fun part for us is the people watching… never fails to bring the laughs.

This place is inside the Aliante Casino. It looks brand new and has a nice vibe and atmosphere. It’s a cool place to hang out to play some video poker/​blackjack and have some comped drinks at the same time. Bartender service is good in a sense that they make sure your good with your drinks, but not as friendly or talkative most of the times I’ve been there. Take note this was during the afternoon on a weekday where there was probably on 3 – 5 people only at the bar. Either way, I make sure to tip them well.
On weekends, its a bit more livelier and people fill the surrounding couches and smoke hookah which is cool. i might go try that in the future. There is also a single go go dancer dancing on a tiny stage.
I know this isn’t your neighborhood bar where everybody knows your name, but I suppose its better than nothing around this area. If you want to kill time and get comped drinks while playing video poker, this is your place.

ETA is an amazing bar as long as Amanda is not your server. She is very argumentative and just mean. All the other bartenders are an absolute delight. If we see Amanda behind the bar we walk through to the sports book lounge.

This place has many pros and cons. The DJ is good; mixes great selection of songs with good bass. Sofas are comfortable. Hookahs are offered. They had girls dancing on the stage which kept the night entertaining.
On the flip side, the drinks were terrible and the bartenders were inattentive. I stood at the bar watching the 2 bartenders (keep in mind there were only 3 other people sitting at the bar) talk to each other, look at me, talk to each other some more, look at me, and then finally come over and ask me what I needed. HOW ABOUT A DAMN DRINK?!
***Note: The Long Island that we ordered was horrible: mixed very poorly, tasted like tequila on ice, no hint of coke sweetness, no smoothness of a tea. The bartenders just didn’t seem to care.
