Butterfly Bar and Cascade Lounge

Not sure why they redid this lounge… again…but it’s very nice.
The bartenders are friendly, quick and it’s location next to the smoke free zone is very nice.
I miss the high back chairs off to the side, but still nice.

Christopher makes an amazing lemondrop martini & was very friendly. Will definitely be back

Didn’t realize Wet Lounge was no longer at Grand Sierra because of the new night club LEX. Not everyone is into the club scene and or paying a $ 30 cover. Grand Sierra should have kept Wet Lounge open for people who prefers something more low key.

Great place to party in the middle of casino. Good selections of drinks from draft to cocktails. Service is good as well. It can be crowded on a special event and wait is quite long. Other than that. check it out and it a great lounge to party and hamg out

I am not sure I should give three stars or not but I am feeling generous.
This ‘Lounge’ is right in the middle of the casino between grouping of slot machines, the keno lounge, a café and a poker bar, and a couple of tables.
The walls are made of curtains with movable partitions on the outside. Seems like a feeble attempt to use up some floor space for something other than slot machines.
On the night we went the place was pretty empty but it was early on a Saturday night about 10:00PM. I guess the hipsters and hot crowd come later. There were only a few areas to sit scattered about the floor and all were full. However, all around the edge were tables and seating that were empty. I asked one of the servers what that was about and she explained to me that I could ‘buy’ one.
For $ 200 I could get a bottle of my choice (Vodka, Tequila, Gin, etc), all the mixers we wanted, personal table service, and security for our belongings for the evening. Since there were only four of us this did not make any sense at all. And neither did the price since there was no one there.
Many people did not stay as there was no where to sit. Perhaps they should let people sit there until someone is willing to pay for extras?

All, you can drink for $ 20 on Thursdays?! Awesome.
Just don’t advertise that any real food comes with it. Be honest and say that there are pigs in a blanket, cheese and crackers, and coconut shrimp.
This place is worth it if you drink your $ 20 worth, but if you’re coming here to eat and drink, this is the wrong place.
Not too many people were dancing on the Thursday I was here, and it was a convention weekend.

Live DJ. Good atmosphere but not digging it’s location inside the casino…

They did a really good job redecorating this place which used to just be the 200 W 2^nd or something odd. They have a stage area with live bands usually covers and nice lounge seating like in Vegas. It’s open to the casino, so if they really want to make it more of a club, they should close off more walls or something. Since GSR doesn’t have a nightclub, it would be a cheap way to create one here. The only bad thing is that they’re understaffed when it’s packed like on First Friday’s so you have to wait a while for both waitress or bartender. First Friday is GSR’s big carnival event where it will be most packed than any other day of the month. I’m impressed by what GSR is doing now and the direction they’re going. Charlie Palmer is now more accessible without cutting quality. They have an awesome Latin restaurant with both empanadas and papusas. Where else can you get them both in Reno??? And great décor throughout the casino. Also, GSR, don’t get rid of Mustangs, the only cowboy bar in town, seriously, and hire Jamie G back you moh-​rons.

Chic and stylish, Wet recently opened and replaced the old 2500 East bar at the GSR, and it is a huge improvement. White marble, new carpet, and acrylic give the whole space a very modern and hip feel. The bar is lighted from both above and below and there is a stage for a band or DJ near the back. In the front, two waterfall fixtures flank the stairs of the main entrance which opens up onto the casino floor.
The club also has private pods which are seperated from the main area with curtains. The furniture in the pods and on the main floor are pretty whismical, it definately gives the area a slick vibe. Natalie, the club hostess said we could use the private pods for a $ 100, they sit about six or eight people and she said the rate goes towards our drinks which is nice. The two nights we were there the DJ was pretty on it, and took requests. The dance floor was busy as well with high energy.
One of the bartenders said there is a DJ or band there every night, which is good to know. They said on Fridays there are drink specials related to their First Friday Festival. Good place to hang out with friends or dance.
