The very best cigar bar I have ever been to (with the exception of La Bodeguita del Medio in Mexico). If you smoke cigars, drink, and are in LV... go to Casa Fuente, you will not be disappointed.
The place is a gem in the middle of LV and Caesars itself. The place is great and open patio seating inside Caesars Forum Shops, wonderful for people watching while having a drink and smoke. Here are the great things about the joint:
Waitresses - usually pretty good looking and their uniform is a white linen skirt (g-string always) and white linen top (small).
Staff - always very helpful and attentive
Cigars - full humidor featuring the Fuente brand (maduro Hemingway long story is my usual)
Drinks - easily the best mohitos I have ever had in the US, they even have tangerine mohitos; great selection of mixed drinks and sipping hard alcohol
Overall just a great place to go with the boys, or by yourself while the girlfriend shops in the Forum area.
So for those that do and those that don't.
If you smoke, the cigars are all Fuente labels = fantastic
If you drink, the mojito's are the best in Vegas; period.
If you don't smoke or drink, the servers are beautiful and the French press coffee and espresso is fantastic.
The bottom line is that this spot is the ultimate man cave in the middle of Vegas's premier shopping mall.
After hearing about this place from a friend I was looking forward to several of the things he had described. Hot waitresses lighting your cigar, giving you drinks and striking up conversation seemed like an excellent thing....
I'll get into the cigars last.
Thing was...this guy was wrong about a couple things. They do have hot waitresses...oh so damned hot waitresses...wait one more...damned HOT! They were very nice too but they're not there to converse with you, they're there to waitress they're not Geishas LOL Leslie, Alisha and I'm sorry but I forgot the name of the 3rd waitress I'd met, but all three were smokin!!!
The bartenders were great folks too! Patricia, Jen and Ray were nice, attentive and if you don't know what you wanna drink and don't want a 4 Horsemen, just ask them and they've got their craft down. I don't remember all the stuff we had drank but what stands out was their White Gummy Bears, Washington Apples and the Orange juice in a can.
The cigars are pricey and honestly, instead of the $40 Opus X or Casa Fuente's signature stogie, I was looking for my Illusion MK that I have on Fridays at West Coast here in Cali.
What made this place for me were it's employees. From the guys at the cigar register, the girl helping folks pick a stogie to the all important bartenders and waitresses that give the happy dreams...oh the memories.
****NOTE TO THE SBC****
We've prepped them for your arrival.
If Patricia is your bartender, mention you'd like a 4 Horseman or 3 Wisemen for the Token White Guy and see her response.
If Jen is your bartender, try to get her out to party. She's hilarious, but she never went out with us.
If Ray is your bartender ask him for the best burrito joints.
If Alisha is your waitress....don't stare so damned hard son!!!!!! That's my future wifey!!!
For all of those who have read my reviews know that everywhere I go I will find a cigar shop out there, and Casa Fuente is my go to place on the strip for cigars, though there is one other that is modest in comparison that I will yelp about later.
So here they have Ashtons and Arturo Fuentes (of course) as well as a cigar that's priced at $125 where they only sell it there, limited selection of 6000 made. The other cigars are not overly priced at all.... they range between $8 - $125 you just need to know what you're buying. I got a Ashton import for $14 - anywhere else $14. They even had a nice cameroon wrapper one for $10 that smoked great.
I'd get deep into the nuances of the cigars and what not, but you know me, I like to yelp for the common man.
So humidor was a good size no larger than the Big Easy in Sherman Oaks, can fit about 5 shoppers comfortably, they have an awesome bar with tasty libations, but I found out that besides a mojito get a pepsi or a coke and you'll be good, because like the mojito it's sweet and pairs with well with the bitterness of the cigars. But when you order a soda it's $5 and served in a plastic glass, so get the mojito for 5 bucks more.
The service is nice, but there was only one on duty on their outside/inside patio. Where people walk in because you look so cool out there ;)
So grab a stick and enjoy a cocktail. (it may be nicer to stay inside so you're not reminded that you're in vegas)
Prices: Expensive
Atmosphere: Clubby, Chic
Service: Excellent
The eye candy here is over the top! Did not realize the extensive selection of cigars they carry. Owner was very helpful, friendly and informative. If you are a cigar aficionado, which I am not, you will love this place. Location is a bit odd but it worked!
One of the reasons that I love Vegas so much is, as the saying goes "What goes on in Vegas...." things you may do there you may not be able to do at home or in your home town. Case in point, assume I drive down to Hillsdale Mall in San Mateo. I head over to the food court and slide over to the juice bar for a smoothie and get comfortable. I then sit down and pull out a churchill sized Arturo Fuente God of Fire, and begin to light it. Before the tip of the cigar even begins its glowy red path, I am immediately pummeled with various food products and verbal epitaphs, especially from a rather surly group of girl scouts and gray-haired retirees.
This is not the scenario at Casa Fuente at the Forum Shops in Caesars Palace, oh quite the contrary. At Casa Fuente the staff is very helpful and knowledgeable. And while the selection is limited to actual Fuente family produced cigars Montesino, Ashton, etc, the entire Fuente line is available. Including the above mentioned God of Fire, Double X, all the Hemingways, and the exclusive Casa Fuentes sold only at the store.
The best is after purchasing your Arturo, you venture out of store sit at the bar or at the café tables order up a round of mojitos or cuba libres, pull out your cigar and light up....ahhhhh sit and watch all the people go buy. Draw deep on the Dominican beauty in one hand and exhale, and then take a sip of your adult beverage in the other. Life is pretty good at this point. Not to mention the reactions of those who may double take, then realize "Oh yeah we're in Vegas, it's okay". Pricey perhaps, but it's about the total experience.
Nice venue, but very expensive. $14 mojitos and even the easy to find Fuentes are double MSRP. The waitresses are easy to look at, but watch your check for errors.
You cannot go to Las Vegas without going to Casa Fuente at Ceasars Palace. The is a great place to go to sit and have a cigar. The drinks are good and the SERVICE is great! The people that work there really understand cigars. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Casa Fuente.
My favorite cigar is the Casa Fuente double robusto. Great place to sit, relax, people watch, smoke a good cigar and drink.
I have several reasons to love this place.
The MOST important is NOT, however, the cigars. Yes, the cigars were great -- and they have something for everyone . . . as long as it's made by Fuente. (Fortunately, however, I like their cigars so this wasn't a problem.) No, the best thing about this place is that it's the ONLY place in Las Vegas I've found that has (not "good" but) truly GREAT ESPRESSO!
OK, yeah, it's the cigars that draw people to this place. And, as I say, they have a good selection, all the accessories, AND it's the only place in the Forum Shops one can light up. They have "outdoor" seating (I mean, come on, it's Vegas -- who wants to be outside in 101-degree heat??? You're "outside" in the Forum Shops! They also have a dark wood bar and a couple of tables "inside", with a flat panel TV tuned to whatever game is on at the time.
They offer a full bar, but surprisingly limited in what rums they offer. Well, I was surprised, based on the fact they're going for the look and atmosphere of "old" Cuba. A lot more whisky than rum, though the 12-year old Montecristo does provide a nice rum to sip while enjoying a cigar. They also make the best Mojito I had while in Vegas, too . . . .
What's not to love?
AND . . . let me add that, while it IS true the crowd is mostly men, there were a number of women here -- some enjoying a cigar, some now -- AND not every table here was smoking, either. One couple showed up and ordered tea. Apparently they were regulars, too, as the waitress knew them be name. One cup of green tea and an Earl Grey later, and they were off . . .
Casa Fuente: it's not just for cigars anymore! ;*)
While us girls went to Spago the guys waited for us here while smoking cigars. We joined them afterwards and they looked as if they had "died and gone to heaven." It's the perfect place for men to hang out while women shop and carry on their business.
This place is always packed which is a great sign. The service was friendly and attentive too.
My wife had to get some cigars for a co-worker back home, so we decided to stop by Casa Fuente. We both had no idea what to get him, so we asked the sales rep in the humidor. He was already smoking a cigar, so who better to ask, right?
He suggested some Arturo Fuente Cigars. Since I was in the mood, I decided to get one as well. Had the cigar cut for later. I decided to smoke the cigar at the bar where I had some money at the sports book. Cigar went down smooth. One of the smoothest cigars I've had. None of the crappy aftertaste you have in the cheaper cigars.
Overall, the place was great to browse and the staff is very knowledgeable. I would stop by again the next time I'm in town.
The cigars here are great. There's no question. The big problem for me is cost, whcih should say that I shouldn't be buying cigars in Vegas because you pay through the teeth for them. IT's a nice set-up, a good place to smoke, and most importantly, it feels like a cigar bar should. I had a helluva Manhattan here, despite a somewhat lacking selection of bourbons.
The guys were knowledgable and the place was fun, but really, I didn't feel like the price was worth it.
I love Fuente cigars. And no better place for a married man like me to hang out while the wife shops than a good cigar bar. Not so keen on the seating "outside" in the mall, but I guess it's okay for people watching. Minus one star for the lack of service - the waitress was overwhelmed. And she tried to charge us for one round more than we had. A seemingly common occurrence in Las Vegas - at least this trip. And at least she asked before she closed us out.
What counts here is that it's a cigar. Bar. In a mall. With Pisco Sours. And fresh Mojitos. And an HD TV showing UFC. Enough said.
If you like cigars, this is a great hot spot for the relaxing puff. For drinkers, the mojitos are the best. For drinkers who may not like cigar smoke, perhaps find another establishment. Fortunately, I like to occasionally smoke cigars and drink mojitos, so it's the place to be. The cigar room is very nice and you get a good education on the brands(my friend had his first cigar)
The servers are very polite, helpful, and not to mention extremely attractive! I mean very attractive, my friend who was getting married even had second thoughts, LOL. Their outfits mirror those that Jasmine from Aladdin would wear(minus the veil).
Great way to wind down the Vegas experience if you're in the Forum Shops.
Viva Las Vegas! Ever since my bf and I have been going to Vegas, we've made it our tradition to stop by our favorite bar/cigar lounge at the Ceasers! This place has a great atmosphere and not to mention the HOT looking women servers!
Avoid this place if you're disturbed by cigar smoke because you will reek! But if the smoke doesn't bother you, stay and sip on the mojitos and red sangria (white sangria is a tad too sweet for my taste)!
My bf always smokes the cigars there so I assume they have a good selection. :) On my end, I just sit back, drink, and people watch!
At Forum Shops at Ceasers Palace, this place is heaven. Only sell Fuente cigars and quite an atmosphere inside and out. Plenty of drinks but hey its Las Vegas what did you expect. I like to relax here on sundays outside read my paper and drink!
I know nothing about cigars, but this place seemed to have a pretty good selection. I picked out a small one ($21?) and ordered a mojito ($14). Cigar seemed fine, mojito would have been great if it didn't have so much sugar in it.
Definitely a good place to wind down with a cocktail or glass of sangria and smoke a cigar before (or after) dinner.
My favorite place to chill in the afternoon in Vegas, I get a nice Opus X or God of Fire and kick it with some Caipirinhas. The waitresses are beautiful, friendly and provide great service, their uniform is what I would imagine a waitress wearing in pre-Castro Cuba at a beach resort. My last trip to Vegas, I was here everyday after lunch.
Probably the best mojito of my life, and the cigar was not bad at all. Amazingly, the help made a great recommendation. Asked for something smooth with a vanilla draw, all though they do not stock my personal favorite, Montecristo, Arturo Fuente makes an awesome cigar. Great place to rest and take it all in.
What a great place to drink, smoke and watch the masses unveil themselves in sin city.
This place was pretty cool! They had a wide variety of cigars and also a nice sitting area between the cigar area and bar for smoking =)
