Casa Fuente in Las Vegas. Color me unimpressed. - Page 2

omowasu · 01-18-2013, 04:42 PM

I like going to the Davidoff store in Mandalay Bay - its a lot smaller than CF but I like gambling at Mandalay and having a cigar. Prices are higher than usual but not extravagant.

I agree, CF is expensive but definitely worth a visit.

Win a few bucks on the slots or dice and the experience at CF is care free like it should be. Easy come, easy go.

Did I hit a little to close to home with that one?

I really like going there. My new favorite is the casa fuente cigar. That's one you can't get anywhere else so that makes it a little special. The way I look at it, every night in Vegas your gonna drop a good deal of cash each night. So one night I eat upstairs at sushi roku then stop at casa fuente. Works out to about the same amount of cash as a show or blackjack beating.

I've never been to Vegas. If I ever get there, I want to see Casa Fuente. I'll certainly sit down and smoke a cigar. It certainly won't be the first time I've bought a ridiculously overpriced cigar, or paid an exorbitant price for a couple glasses of wine for Weeze.

I like John's take on it. I'd FAR rather lose the money at Casa than drop it at the blackjack table. I'm a victim of every vice in the world, but thank God I don't take any joy from losing money gambling. I just want to see Vegas for the architecture and boobs, that's all.

Different strokes, for different folks, I guess.

$34.95 for a Short Story Between the Lines is too rich for my blood.

Excellent points, guys.

Nothing better than relaxing at CF, smoking a cigar, drinking a mojito, and watching the world go by.

Holy crap...a BTL runs $15 at my B&M...That's an insane markup...wow..

Brandon · 01-19-2013, 04:39 PM

Good place to see some boobs while you puff away. Bring your own and just order some drinks. If you prefer not to smoke in the courtyard of a mall, it's best to stay inside.

St. Lou Stu · 01-19-2013, 04:50 PM

I don't care for the place, but I spend several hours there at least a couple of times a year.

Great Atmosphere - Free
Perfectly Poured Mojito - $15
Story Between The Lines - $35

Epic Boobs All Around- Priceless

That averages out to like $10 per item.

tchariya · 01-19-2013, 09:49 PM

You aren't forced to buy a cigar in CF.
The cocktail waitresses are pretty darn sexy.

I enjoy relaxing there with a mojito.

I also like smoking outside at the Rhum Bar outside of the Mirage.
Great atmosphere.

A couple guys mentioned the $35 BTL. Aren't Casa Fuente's in that $30-$35 ballpark? I've had a bunch across the years, seems that's about what I gave up for them. I know they aren't very good, but it's the house blend. That'd probably be a good choice for the atmosphere.
I'd probably spend the extra 15 bucks and get the $50 Anejo. I'd just consider the 35 bucks as admission.
How do the prices run on the other smokes there?

stearns · 01-20-2013, 10:38 AM

I walked through briefly, didnt buy anything but i thought most casa's were 18-22. nice area, i seriously considerd picking up those opus slippers

ripper · 01-20-2013, 11:03 AM

Casa Fuente is in one of the world's most distinctive malls with a grand sense of place and fun.
The staff is friendly. Manager Michael Fayerverger is a witty guy from Chicago -- good kibbitzer. If the cigars are too spendy, BYO.
Plenty of good restaurants, including Joe's Stone Crab, Cheesecake Factory, The Palm and P.J. Clarke's in the Forum Shops. Awesome restaurants like Rao's, Beijing Noodle No. 9 and Mesa Grill inside Caesars.
And the people watching is terrific.
