Thursday, January 22, 2004 2 AM: Club life with Meme Hsu
This weekend, I spent my time with the crew of Carnaval Court. The "party" consisted of the best lighting and sound guy around, Matt, the band members from Reflex, an '80s cover band, and the hottest and funniest bartender I have ever met, Osh. We hit up the Boston, at 1030 E. Flamingo Road, for some live music, a few games of pool and darts. Here's a tip for all my female readers: Do not play strip pool or strip darts if you are drunk. You may end up in your g-string at the end of the night. The Carnaval Court is an exciting outdoor entertainment venue located at Harrah's Las Vegas, 3475 Las Vegas Blvd. South. This is a great place to hang out if you are waiting for the clubs to open. The circular bar at the Carnaval Court boasts some of the world's top flair bartenders like my newest crush, Osh. All I can say is it's amazing what they can do with their hands. In addition to the great bar staff, guest can listen to live bands, such as Reflex, which takes the Carnaval Court stage daily, performing a wide range of music, from pop to jazz to beach music. Stop by the Carnaval Court sometime and check out some of the coolest guys around. Remember to tip the bartenders well and tell them I sent you. Open Sunday-Thursday 1 p.m.-12 a.m.; Friday and Saturday 1 p.m.-1 a.m. (Harrah's Las Vegas, 369-5000, www.harrahs.com)
