Spiked is one of the hipper bars located at Harrahs. Its got bright pink lights highlighting the alcohol/bar area that catch your attention. Above the bar are a few televisions displaying some random eighties and nineties music videos. They caught my attention. To the right of the bar is a lounge area where a small band or artist plays music. My drink was delicious. I can’t remember the name, but it was off their speciality cocktail menu. The prices were high but bearable. Its a good place to hang out before or after dinner or a show.

Decent bar. Too much ice and over priced though. The drinks aren’t technically watered down, they just have an iceberg in every glass that is just there to make more money(it’s a casino). It’s still the best bar in the area although it’s far from civilization. Bartenders do vigorously shake the drinks to put on a show though which is terrible because that will dilute the flavor of the drink(I don’t ever shake drinks I make). Drink prices are about $ 6 to $ 11, most being $ 9 to $ 11. They have some interesting drinks for sure.

They have a good selection of liquor and cocktails to choose from. Their beer selection is limited but I heard there’s a craft beer bar just across the casino. They are generous with the shot sizes and the prices are very reasonable. Only $ 6.25 for a shot of Grey Goose. The bartender actually poured us a 1.5-shot size the first time and a 2-shot size on the next round. Thanks!

Whenever I’m at harrahs and looking for a drink, I usually have been going to this bar. The décor is really nice and modern. It’s a great place to grab a drink and chill in the little lounge area they have. They also have video machines at the bar. You can play keno, poker or slots. I would give this review 4 stars for the bar itself. However, the service on the other hand is a different story… The last time my wife and I went there, we got a few drinks at Spiked. The first time we grabbed drinks, it took a while for the 2 bartenders to help us out. It wasn’t that busy so not sure what took so long to get served. The issue was the second round of drinks we ordered. We came back and ordered another round. At this point, the bar was pretty empty. Only a few people were there and not ordering drinks. My wife and I sat down waiting to order a drink. The blonde bartender with glasses pretty much ignored us. Her head was always down and didn’t really acknowledge we were even there. A guy sat down after us and she helped him and his friends out before us. She even went right in front of us making their drinks and didn’t even say she’d help us out or ask if we’ve been served yet. I had to flag down the other bartender who was making drinks for the waitresses. This was pretty bad service especially with the bar not being busy. Next time if I see that bartender again, I’ll remember to go to another bar.

This bar is located by Total Rewards. It’s next to the hotel check in. The lounge area is gorgeous. I actually had my wedding reception at Harrahs Rincon and we took photos at this lounge which came out beautiful. It’s a decent sized bar with some video poker/keno slots. They have a special drink menu and some drinks are really good, some not so much. I give it 2 stars because of a recent visit. My husband and I sat at the bar and there were 2 girls bartenders. One was making drinks for the cocktail waitresses. The other blonde girl with glasses was not working on any orders. She didn’t acknowledge us at all. A couple of guys sat at the bar and she took their order right away. She went in front of us and still didn’t acknowledge us. Rude! All other bars I go to at least acknowledge us and ask of we’ve been helped. Finally, the other bartender helped us out. I was pretty disappointed with the service. Maybe you’ll get lucky if you go here when there’s a better bartender.

Have been waiting for Spiked. to open and it does not disappoint. Beautiful bar with great selection of spirits including old staples like Johnny Walker Blue Label and a yet unopened bottle of Remy Martin Louis XIII. I asked the bartender to make me something with strawberry infused Rain vodka and he created a light and delicious martini, Yumm. My brother ordered Cosmo on the rock which was ok. For round two I had St Germaine martini with egg white and basil and many more ingredients I could ever remember. I just love basil in anything even by itself. The lounge has large and comfy seating area perfect for a pre party, there was a bachelorette party group while we were here. Bartenders who likes to show off his skills are awesome. A wonderful addition to the casino floor to relax or to get the night going.
