Le Central

PROS:
* Delicious and creative cocktails (like the Smoked Manhattan!!!)
* For Vegas, not too bad on the price tag
* Very scenic; beautiful décor
* Easy location; right by the main/​front entrance to the casino/​hotel
CONS:
* Very noisy due to proximity to said casino and main entrance
* Very smoky due to lax indoor smoking laws (not really their fault, I guess, but a serious consideration if you are averse to second-​hand smoke)
BOTTOM LINE:
For the location and relatively decent prices, I really like this bar. It’s pretty easy to get a drink, even during fairly busy times. For the décor and design, I absolutely LOVE this bar. It really has a regal Parisian feel about it. Beautiful use of blue and gold and white throughout. Plenty of TVs at the bar, along with a few video poker machines. Most of the bar is gaming-​free, though, so plenty of space to relax and just unwind with a tasty beverage. Great servers working there usually, too, but watch out for outside panhandlers who come in. Because the bar is so close to the entrance, it’s a popular spot to make a fast buck on you.

I probably spent my most time in Vegas this past trip around le central. Open all night but more importantly they had the best tvs for watching the playoffs in the hotel/​casino– which is kind of sad for the sports book.
The prices are high and it can get slammed where it’s 4 deep but the bartenders/​servers do their best to keep up with the pace.

Grabbed a couple beers here while waiting to check into our room at Paris. Nothing spectacular, but we were able to watch a football game on one of their many TV’s. They also have a seating area with food and waitress service, but we decided to just sit at the bar.

Good location, rude bartenders, cocktail waitress slow slow slow. 25 minutes still no drink

Nice spot to sit and relax, but horribly slow service. Doesn’t Hotels in Vegas, like Paris make money selling booze at $ 14.00 for a cocktail?

This place is amazing. Recently remodeled it is absolutely stunning with the staff to match. Our server traci gave us a great tour of the new cocktail menu and i ordered the blueberry infusion which was outstanding. My husband had the woodord reserve which was also delicious. We will be back next week when company comes to town

Located in Paris Hotel Casino on the Famous Las Vegas Strip. This is their lobby bar. For the uninitiated a lobby bar in Las Vegas is not some sleepy little lounge with some cat playing oldies on his Casio while you sip a subpar highball. This a full blown scene. Great for people watching while you enjoy a proper cocktail. Sure it’s loud sure it’s wild, but hey this is Vegas! A great place to stop in and have a touch of the creature to get your evening, or morning started, I did say this is Vegas didn’t I? It’s open 24 hours! Live it up you are in Las Vegas for cryin’ out loud!

Great people watching bar. Located in Paris hotel this is a round bar with plenty of seating 3 steps up from the casino floor. You can watch the passing parade of shape sizes and outfits while having a drink or two. Like most of Vegas drinks here are expensive — $ 16 for a regular Martini. If you drink Bloody Mary’s they have a special Ketel One Bloody Mary for $ 6.
I’ll stick with the Martini and if you are looking for a better price you can walk through to Bally’s where the Martinis are $ 12.

What a great spot inside the Paris Hotel at this circle bar in the middle of things. You feel like you’re in a little french village, watching the people go by! Great for sitting with friends while enjoying a cocktail!

Overpriced, and not that great. This restaurant is located in the lobby of the hotel and is therefore very busy and loud. The service was average and my food was too salty (had the fish and chips). The portion sizes are large which is a plus.

As other reviewers have commented, this bar offers a 2 – 1 martini deal 12−7pm Sunday to Thursday. Their official martini list is on the short side but the bartender I had (Darren I think) was more than happy to make a variation on the martini list when I told him what I was looking for in a drink. He’ll give you your second martini right away but if you’re not impressed with the first he’ll make you a different one free of charge until you tell me that you’re happy with it. Just don’t get the Chambord Fleur de Lys: it’s a martini that sounds delicious but is so sweet that it tastes more like a desert than a martini. Le Central offers good people watching, one of the better martini deals on the Strip, and a casual place to strike up a conversation with a fellow Vegas visitor. However unlike most other casino bars you can’t play video poker at the bar, meaning no comped drinks for playing but those other bars probably serve worse drinks so it all evens out.

Absolute dream and chocolate martinis to die for! Strong and delicious! $ 16 each but come for the 2 for 1 deal from 12 – 7! The bartenders here are friendly and there was plenty of seating with views of the casino and passers by. It was a nice stop to chill out and cool off for a bit! Plus, they fill your glass to the very, very top! When the bartender poured my chocolate martini it was a bit short so she literally mixed in all the additional ingredients and poored some left overs in an additional glass. YUM!

The main reason to go here is to people-​watch and to drink 2-​for-​1 (i.e. $ 8 a piece) martinis.
Luckily for me, a Manhattan is a martini, and my cocktail of choice. I was flying solo, so I grabbed two of them, a nice chair with a view, and my Kindle.
They don’t skimp on the booze here — both glasses were full to the brim — and the bartender knows how to make ‘em smooooth.

To echo a previous reviewer, the 2for1 Martini deal is a good reason to visit but its still not cheap. Four Martinis after the discount still came to $ 32. I’m not sure I would pay full prices here, at $ 16 a drink.
Service was friendly enough, and the setting is certainly fun. Big comfy seats, ensconced in big faux wrought iron railings, surrounded by all the people wandering the cobbled streets of Paris. Its a fun place to people watch and relax for an hour.

Le Central is «thee» hang-​out bar in Paris, it’s just always the place to find people. With it’s awesome location and watered down drinks, it’s the «it» place to be whether you are meeting up for a quick drink before going out or winding down a long day. The bartenders are hard to get the attention of but once you do they are really cool.

A nice little lounge that became a pit stop. You have a bird’s eye view that expands over the casino. Our server was extraordinarily rude, but I wasn’t about to let that bother me, I was on vacation. I may go there again, I may not… but it’s good to know it’s there.

There is one reason to visit Le Central: Happy hour. Seven of them, in fact. From 12 noon to 7 pm, Le Central sells its (very tasty) martinis for half price. This doesn’t make them cheap, but it does make them reasonable, and that’s something, especially in a nice place on the Strip.
Le Central is often crowded, so it’s hit or miss whether you’ll find a table or a seat at the bar. But if you can snag yourself a seat, this is a nice place to sit and watch the world go by.

Every casino has its own center bar, this happens to be the one for Paris. Right across from the Le Café Diner, this place is always swarming virtually anytime at night. And because of the lighting within the casino, drinking here almost feels like drinking outside (minus the Vegas heat).
Prices here aren’t too bad for a casino bar, cocktails are reasonably priced though specialty drinks can be as much as $ 15 each. Service has been prompt, courteous and quick almost each time I’ve stopped by here. And because its in a casino, the smoking can get a little heavy at times. This is one of those places to people watch while relaxing with a drink or ten.
