    We originally came to this bar because we had free cocktails through our myVegas slots game. We ended up gambling at the machines and getting a bunch more free cocktails and not needing to redeem our vouchers but then we decided to grab the drinks to go so we redeemed them anyway. Basic lounge bar in a Vegas hotel - good drinks, good service. No complaints. It is what it is.

    Excellent seating, bartenders know their stuff, and the live music was great. Some fun games too if you want: giant connect four, foosball, shuffleboard, and more. Screens for the game(s) and the bar area has digital poker if you want.

    Great place for live music and dancing on the south strip. Reasonable prices. beers are $10 & mixed are $15 (before tip). Similar to Carnaval Court (Harrah’s) and Fremont Street (downtown LV). But less tacky than Fremont Street venues. I will return when on this end of the strip.

    Nice casino lounge for drinks, live music and dancing. 3 drinks ran about $50. There was a band there called Neon Black and they were awesome, especially the saxophonist. I would def stop by to catch them perform again.

    Fun amazing bar. Great drinks and our bartender Joe Zito was so attentive to details. I really feel like he gave us a Show!

    If you're looking for a quiet place to work during a weekday, there are a lot of seating options in this lounge. I was able to find a spot quiet enough for a conference call while I was waiting for a room. A server found me hiding there, and did an excellent job taking care of me so I never had to pack up my office to go to the bar. I wish I got her name, thank you!

    I just wish more people were on the dancefloor on a Sat. Friendly staff.

    No menu and no price list for drinks. When I asked the bar tender what the prices were, he gave me a much lower $ than was reflected on the bill! The service was awful 😖 and I still can't believe they expect you to order drinks not knowing the prices or even what type of wine you are getting.

    Visited Rhythm and Riffs while my visit to Delano hotel. The drinks were excellent. Tony Vennrico was entertaining and sang some great songs. He was friendly and talked to the crowd.

    This lounge has live music on select nights. This was a Friday night so a band was playing. Weeknights you might just see a solo guitarist. Music performers appear to change nightly. There’s a bar and lounge area where you can also smoke. There’s a small dance floor as well.

    They have great FREE live music most nites late. Flavia is an excellent server! She remembers her customers from one nite 2 another. Tip ur servers people! Live music society is AWESOME! R fav band there, but there r other really good bands that play there. Great spot for late nite music and drinks. Rob is a fantastic sound guy. One of r fav late nite spots.

    Great atmosphere with live band and room to dance - goes late into the night

  • 5/5 James P. 4 months ago on Google
    A great place to unwind from the usual LV gaming and enjoy a cocktail and live music. The talent was great all three nights we were at Mandalay Bay.

  • 4/5 Ryan A. 11 months ago on Google
    I visited this area in Mandalay Bay most nights during my stay. The atmosphere was really good most nights and drinks were well done. I took away one star because one night the music was just not enjoyable.

    The boyfriend and I really love this little lounge area, you can take a load off, people watch, especially for conventions this is a great spot to stop and drink your coffee and just prepare yourself for the day. Although we do come here and sit right behind the sign so no one else can see us and we have great lighting and privacy. We also used this spot for a business meeting and it's great that they let you have free range of the place and place chairs and tables a certain way for a circle. They also have live music/alcohol in case you want a night cap

    I came here with my family after the Michael Jackson show. So glad we came here. We really enjoyed the live music and the seats were all cozy. We got a good seat and spent the night dancing and drinking. The band was fine we really liked the whole experience and would definitely come back!

  • 5/5 Scott N. 11 months ago on Google
    Nice place to unwind after a long Vegas day, sip some drinks, enjoy a beer or two, and jam out with the live music. It's like a "quiet" oasis where you can drown out the slot machines and hustle and bustle. (We also have a bet going within our company about a couple of people who we have seen 3 years in a row dancing too the bands. We think they might be paid, but no one will confirm it! Either way, rock on you two!)

    I enjoyed listening to the live band playing music, people were enjoying them too. Great night.

    Bar at the heart of Mandalay Bay. It is a good bar and fun for people watching. Of course the drinks are strip expensive and the service is inconsistent. But if you want to stake out a spot to watch the action at Mandalay evolve over the course of the evening, R&R is a winner. It's not fancy. It's good for every taste.

    The singer Hal Saltar and the group were absolutely amazing... They are extremely talented!!

    Fun venue with live music and good drinks by the restaurants area in Mandalay Bay. We spent a Friday evening there after having dinner at Fleur and had a great time

  • 5/5 Dave S. 1 year ago on Google
    Incredible hard working team. Great service, gaming, food and live music all in one space!

  • 5/5 brianbky 1 year ago on Google
    Great music. Cool mixed crowd. Not too rowdy and not too mellow.

  • 2/5 Efe E. 1 year ago on Google
    We had breakfast there and it was probably the worst breakfast I’ve had. Dry eggs, tasteless hasbrowns etc. Maybe the dinner menu is better but it’s a hard pass for me.
