Le Bistro Lounge

Finding real jazz combos in Las Vegas is often a hit-and-miss venture; in some hotel lounges, one gets the goods, in others, one gets watered-down funk and a big-haired singer strangling some standards beyond recognition. Fortunately, the Monday-night tradition of jazz in Vegas (held for years by the Four Queens Hotel-Casino) survives at Le Bistro, a tangle of red neon and chrome just off the casino floor at the Riviera Casino and Hotel.
