There's a pernicious trend I've noticed recently at high-end Vegas lounges, including Clique at Cosmo and Vista Lounge at Caesars: Servers saying they can only give you bottled water.
No, it's not because they lack conventional plumbing behind the bar. It's so they can add another $8-$10 to your tab.
EVIL. Especially considering that Vegas is in the desert -- and there are a lot of inexperienced drinkers who don't consume enough water along with their alcohol.
Anyone else encountered this? If so, where?
(In contrast, just a few yards away from Clique at Cosmo's Queue Bar, there's a nice big frosty water dispenser and plastic cups at the end of the bar, free to any and all passersby. And at least some of the MGM properties have fruity water in big dispensers near the check-in lines -- I've seen this at MGM Grand and Mandalay Bay. Now THAT is civilized!)
