LIXX Bar

Meh is right.. .. waitress was nice but the drinks were overprices, especially for the amount of alcohol was actually in the drink. I was foolish and bought a sangria and of course 90% of the drink was just cut up fruit that didn’t aid to the taste of the drink. This was the only nice looking place to drink once you were on the floor for gambling so that is really the only real reason I’d go back to it.

I’d give zero stars if possible but it’s not. Service is slow to non existent, don’t bother complaining they don’t care!
Look at reviews, this is not the only negative review for this place.

Ok, I have to say at first glance I thought it was just a small, sad casino bar. But since I was staying in the Ameristar it was convenient. Their selection is quite limited, just typical mega-​brewery beers and mostly well liquors with a few of the common premium ones. The drink menu is pretty much just really sweet specialty drinks without anything really interesting. i started with an Old Fashioned which was passable, especially since I don’t think they were equipped very well to make a good cocktail. I quickly wound up just drinking some premium vodka rather than go for a sweet drink.
The bartenders were incredibly friendly and chatted with me while I enjoyed my drinks. If they weren’t genuinely interested in my story they certainly fooled me. Bonus points for giving me water without my asking so I would stay hydrated.
Would I go back? Probably not. I mean, if I lived in the area (which I will soon) there would be many more and better options, maybe even a real craft cocktail bar. But if I was traveling and staying in the Ameristar I would definitely be stopping by.

It’s absolutely amazing how different the service is at this bar from night to night. I stayed at the Ameristar for almost two weeks on two separate occasions, so I had many chances to sit at this bar.
Pros:
Some of the bartenders make phenomenal old fashioneds.
Cheap mid-​tier liquors ($ 5 makers, if I recall correctly)
Cons
Some of the bartenders make terrible old fashioneds.
Bartenders not exactly what I’d call speedy
The failure on this bar is completely staffing related. There are two bartenders in this gigantic circular bar, a gigantic circular bar which patrons can come at from all angles. Take that, and put two non-​high-​volume bartenders back there, and it’s quick for them to get into the weeds… and for me to get frustrated. Three or four minutes without being acknowledged is enough to make you go somewhere else to get a cocktail.

Came into the casino on a Thursday evening; slow night. Service at this bar was slow and inattentive! Bartender acted as though he was doing me a huge favor by taking and filling my simple drink order.
Would hate to see it on a busy night!

I tried their Pomegranate Mojito and it was pretty terrible — watered down and lacking much flavor. My cousins then wanted to try some of their gelatin shots; don’t waste your time. Their cheap prices aren’t enough to save this place. (I live in Las Vegas, so a $ 5.50 Mojito is relatively cheap to me).

Service is ok, just a little annoyed that some of the bartenders id you to get a drink (despite already being inside the casino), but the drinks are slightly cheaper.
