Nightlife

Esquire talks to Mariena Mercer, the general manager of the Chandelier, the three-story bar surrounded by 2 million crystals at the Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas. And the things she’s seen. “Las Vegas is such an interesting beast. I'm driving to work, and I look down on the street, and there are fifteen people at a bachelorette party, dressed in pink wigs and boas and not much else. And then there's, you know, fifteen Elvises.” But her overall impression of Vegas is that it’s “a regurgitation of something else.” [Esquire]
