#1965 #S1077 - Ha!, Seattle - 11/4/2012

The full name of this place is apparently "Ha! Comfort House," which fairly adequately describes the atmosphere and food. There is a more intimate back room, but the small bar up front is where you'll typically find Alycia Prather, the owner whose laugh continuously punctuates her conversation and inspired the name. Alycia serves some pretty good spicy margaritas and the food is reasonable.

#1964 #S1076 - Whisky Bar, Seattle - 11/2/2012

A somewhat gentrified version of the bar that opened a block up 2nd Avenue in 2003, and gradually upgraded itself from PBR dive to a decent selection of craft beers and cocktails. The new new location takes that a bit further, with no vestiges of diveyness, a kitchen, and a nice selection of whiskeys, beers, and cocktails. Mind your glass if you're sitting at the bar however, as it is sometimes confused for a bagpiper stage.

#1962 - The Joint (Hard Rock), Las Vegas - 10/27/2012

 We went here for Halloween, so I don't have a lot to judge it on as a 4,000-seat musical hall.  Seems pretty basic.

#1961 - Gold Boutique Nightclub & Lounge (Aria), Las Vegas - 10/27/2012

"During the day, it's more of an ultra lounge. Then, around 10 p.m., Gold begins its nightly transition into a boutique nightclub.... Bottle service begins at $150, and the cocktail menu includes the signature 24-karat Martini whose ingredients, Duran notes, include real gold flakes." (lvrj)

#1959 - FIX Restaurant & Bar (Bellagio) , Las Vegas - 10/26/2012

A pretty restaurant with pretty people and pretty drinks in the Bellagio.  There are undulating waves of "Costa Rican padouk wood" across the ceiling, a nice level of lighting and pretty good food. If you're going to do a big strip restaurant/bar, this is a fairly good choice.
