There's a club in town at the new Hooters Hotel & Casino that was the San Remo. I guess they call it 13 Martini Bar. It is a "retro martini lounge with nightly live music." On Wednesday nights, they offer free drinks to ladies between 9PM and 12AM. As usual (well, not necessarily as usual in Las Vegas, but as you might expect anyway) the drinks they offer for free are rail drinks. Just the same, free drinks are free drinks. When we got there, the two fab ladies we were with went up to the bar to order drinks. They each got white wine. I wasn't going to drink to begin with, but when the waitress came around I decided I would order after all. I sort of wanted champagne, but figured that wasn't included, so I went with red wine. The waitress came back empty handed quite a bit later.
Waitress: "I'm sorry, wine isn't included in the free drinks special."
Maryse: "What? My friends just got some wine, right there." (pointing across the table.)
Waitress: "Who?"
Maryse: "Them, right across the table from me. That's wine. White wine."
Waitress: "Ummmm..okay. I talked to the bartender, and we decided it wasn't included, but I'll go ask again. What kind of wine did you want again?"
Maryse: "Just your house red."
Waitress: "What's that? I mean, what kind does that mean?"
Maryse: "Just red wine. Whatever you usually serve. Your house red wine."
Waitress: "Okay..."
She returned after another ten minutes or so.
Waitress: "We don't have that. The bartender didn't know what it was."
Maryse: "Fine. Just bring me a vodka/cran."
The waitress actually did bring me by a glass of red wine some time later. I don't know what the hang-up was.
Otherwise 13 Martini Bar seemed like a nice enough place. The band wasn't great, but the sax player was really good. They need to put up another curtain to separate the bar from the casino. It loses a little class with the slot machines and Hooters girls just on the other side of the bar.

Thats funny. I bet she's knew because I had such a hard time figureing out what a dry martini was when my first customer ordered...of couse I felt like an idiot. Why don't all people just drink Coors Light?
