Great job documenting
Zorak
I stopped by twice last night. First was from 5:30-6:30. On arrival I was allowed in to stand at the bar but was warned that there was no seats available.
I returned a little before 9 and stayed until 9:30. There were maybe 10 people when I arrived and it emptied out from there. There was plenty of staff including people having come table to table and take a drink order.
One regret, the people serving and making drinks are Aria employees who are probably not getting the same tips/comp as normal. I felt bad for them in this regard. I didn't have cash but wished I could have tipped them.
Overall, great experience, but I am aware that Monday nights are not typical. It will certainly face capacity constraints especially during F1 and CES week (bartender confirmed he was going to be there for 2 months)
