We went out to Tangerine at TI a couple weeks ago. FW&BF was in town with a group of gorgeous gals, so P&AF and I met up with them there. I had never been to Tangerine before, although I always thought it looked cool from the outside. It seemed like it would be cool to watch the TI water/fireworks show from the Tangerine outdoor section. I can't say that I was as impressed with Tangerine as I thought I would be though. It was tiny, and I wasn't a huge fan of the DJ. It was also really amusing that periodically they have little burlesque shows in there. Out comes a little band, and a lady does a little striptease. Very interesting. Right before one of those shows started, a couple walked in who appeared to be completely lost. Possibly they were confused by the "Tangerine-Bar and Lounge" Label. Anyway, they were an elderly couple (think matching windbreaker suits on a guided walking tour of the San Antonio Riverwalk,) and they looked about as comfortable as a Vikings fan who just walked into a bar in Wisconsin on Sunday. Later on in the evening we left the lounge, and sat just outside the exit to re-group. As we were sitting there, out walked a very drunken man, who managed to projectile vomit while walking. Vegas really is particularly amazing for those vomiting in public places moments. Anyway, the bouncers immediately got to work on cleaning things up. Someone from our group decided to start up a little conversation with the man who appeared to be (or at least acted like) the lead bouncer.
Our Group: "Nice. That must be a fun part of your job."
Bouncer: "Yeah. It's pretty standard."
Our Group: "Gross."
Bouncer: "That's not even the bad part of the job. The crack addicts are the worst."
(He points to what appears to be scarring from a human bite on his hand.)
Our Group: "Ummm..okay..."
That was pretty much it for Tangerine. I don't think I'd pay to go there. Though I still think it might be fun to watch the pirate show from the balcony one day.
