Champagnes Cafe

Something about Champagne's Cafe just screams "Red Light District." Could it be the red velvet rococo wallpaper? The dozen or so posters of Marilyn Monroe? That swarthy character in the pinstripes leaning on the well-stocked jukebox? Or is it just those red lightbulbs? In any case, this relaxed, cozy and dark watering hole across from the Boulevard Mall is an off-beat tonic for those who've suffered the boring sameness of most of the bars, sports and otherwise, that dot the Las Vegas landscape.
