Red Square

  • April 10, 2005
  • Rated 5 of 5 by Seano from Brooklyn, New York
Red Square is another amazing place to have a good time in Mandalay Bay. (Mandalay can do nothing wrong, as far as I am concerned!) In terms of creating an ambience, this place is stellar. Before you walk in, the beheaded statue of Lenin outside the entrance sets the tone for a truly exotic experience. The red lighting adds a visual cue, as does the Cyrillic-inspired decor. The bar - which specializes in vodka and martinis - is built to keep drinks cold. The bartenders are your comrades in cocktails; they are adept at making a wide range of drinks. We went here for our last drink of the evening (which, in Vegas, can probably come at any time of the day), and the crowd was fun and conversational. I recommend the Key Lime Pie martinis; not so Moscow, but definitely very Vegas, baby!

We went to Red Square to start the night out after my birthday dinner at Sambs. At Red Square I had the best Bloody Mary ever which they made with a pepper vodka. The bar there is made of ice which the bartender had to fill up with water every hour to keep frozen. So when you put you drinks down on the top of the bar they are sitting on ice and stay cold. They have a variety of fancy, yummy vodka drinks and everyone had fun. Next time I want to go there for dinner or lunch. They have vodka flights (shots of different flavored vodka) and caviar and what looked like a really good menu. We were way too full from our dinner to try anything else.

Red Square is the vodka bar for the sophisticated, cosmopolitan type. The menu is not inexpensive by any stretch of the imagination. Vodkas from all over the world are featured. Caviar, also in a range of brands and prices, is available to enhance the liquid refreshment. The Grey Goose is excellent.

Located in Mandalay Bay, Red Square is a unique experience. The bar is amazing and has more vodkas than I knew existed. The decor is very dark and red and definitely feels 'Russian'. Being a vegetarian, I wasn't a huge fan of the food. There was a limited selection and it was quite pricey. I left feeling hungry. While I don't recommend it for dinner, it is worth dropping by for a couple of cocktails and seeing the decor.

Red Square is a very cool, trendy restaurant. The decor is really neat with things like a solid ice bar top and a statue of Lenin with his head cut off. You will see lots of beautiful people (some obviously for hire) and will enjoy a good vodka martini.

The food itself is good but not great, so you may be disappointed given the price. My meat was overcooked the first time, but the waiter corrected that and brought me another steak despite my protests to not worry about it. On another visit to the restaurant, I had the tuna tartar and it was excellent.

If you want to do something really fun, go into the vodka room. You have to buy a bottle of vodka (which can cost around $250), but when you do, you go into a freezer to drink it. Normally, this wouldn't be that interesting, but the freezer is really cool. It has the head of Lenin in a frozen block of ice in the center. You are given Russian hats and fur coats to keep warm. Everyone looks ridiculous, but it is an experience.

I would recommend this restaurant if you have tried the other nice restaurants in Mandalay Bay, but not before then.
