The small (sorry, “boutique”) bar is hidden behind a wall that rolls up into the ceiling.<\/p>\n

Here’s some masterful video of Circa’s secret bar when it made its debut on Dec. 28, 2021. By “masterful video,” of course, we mean “your elementary school-age kids could’ve done a better job on the videography.”<\/p>\n

The first visual thing we ever captured involved spitting paint to create a silhouette of our hand in a cave.<\/p>\nAnyway, you get the idea.<\/p>\nThe bar seats maybe a dozen people, and is expected to operate mostly on the weekends (Thursday through Sundayish, there are no set hours).<\/p>\nThe button that opens the bar’s door is hidden inside the table games area. While everyone else was watching the big reveal, we were checking out the button location, because that’s just how we roll.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30666\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30666\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-30666 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/circa_secret_bar3.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30666\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Let’s just say the table games manager is a good guy to know.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe new bar was created to serve a fairly specific purpose: To keep high rollers playing.<\/p>\nThe theory is that while the player does battle at the tables, their spouse or friends can hang out at the bar a few feet away. Otherwise, the player and their entourage would wander off to Legacy lounge or Vicki’s or Megabar.<\/p>\nThe new bar is simple but effective strategy for increasing time on the tables.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30665\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30665\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-30665 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/circa_secret_bar1.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30665\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Just a wall with Marilyn’s eyebrows on it, nothing to see here.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nYou may have noticed we haven’t told you the name of the secret bar yet. That’s because it doesn’t have a name, making it all the more mysterious.<\/p>\nUpon our arrival, someone referred to us as the “O.G.” We are therefore proposing the bar be called “The O.G. Spot.”<\/p>\nThis was the best we could do on short notice. “Entourage Bar” has a nice ring to it, too. “Hangers-On Hangout”?<\/p>\nWe tried to think of a Marilyn Monroe-inspired name, but they all felt a little sad. “Bombshell Bar”? “Hottie Hideaway”? “Suspicious Overdose Lounge”? Just spitballing here.<\/p>\nThe story behind the story is it’s impossible to license anything from Marilyn Monroe’s estate, so while the bar’s working name was “Monroe Bar” during design and construction, the informal name has evolved into “Secret Bar.”<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30667\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30667\" style=\"width: 1200px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-30667 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/circa_secret_bar4.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30667\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">We’ll take a wild guess these are espresso martinis. We are far too busy and important to “take notes” or “remember things.”<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhatever it’s called, the new bar provides a fun new discovery at Circa, and the location is doubly satisfying because it’s near the excellent 8 East restaurant, as well as a secluded sitting area that features a sample of 8 East’s delicious fried rice, free of charge.<\/p>\nThe new bar is also near some of our favorite video poker machines, so there’s a reasonable chance we may never actually leave the building now.<\/p>\nThe hidden bar at Circa joins an ever-growing list of “secret” bars in Las Vegas, often referred to as speakeasies.<\/p>\nAmong the hidden bars are the Underground Speakeasy and Distillery at Mob Museum, Laundry Room at Commonwealth, Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den at \nResorts World, Ghost Donkey and Barbershop Cuts at Cosmopolitan and others.<\/p>\nWe aren’t sure if Downtown Cocktail Room is actually a hidden bar or just impossible to get into.<\/p>\nWe would do a listicle of hidden bars in Las Vegas, but are far too busy judging people who do listicles.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_30668\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-30668\" style=\"width: 800px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazyload wp-image-30668 size-full\" style=\"border: 1px solid #000000;\" src=\"\/vitalvegas\/dist\/images\/common\/transparent_3x2.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"800\" height=\"1200\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.casino.org\/vitalvegas\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/circa_secret_bar5.jpg\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-30668\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marilyn Monroe often talked about herself in the third person, not to be confused with the first person plural we use to avoid taking personal responsibility for anything.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile we don’t play high limit table games at Circa, we will probably swing by the new bar occasionally, despite the fact it doesn’t have video poker machines.<\/p>\nDuring our first visit, we mentioned Marilyn’s close-up featured fake eyelashes, and we were roundly cuffed for our sheer stupidity.<\/p>\nApparently, false eyelashes don’t clump, so these are Marilyn’s real eyelashes.<\/p>\nOne thing we know for sure is whenever a new bar opens in Las Vegas, an angel gets its wings.<\/p>\nCheers to Circa for keeping the surprises, and wings, coming. It’s also worth noting 8 East has tasty wings. Ah, the circularity of the universe.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Circa’s our favorite casino in Las Vegas, and it appears the place isn’t even done yet.
