    As for the venue, it sits next to PublicUS and offers good sound plus easy access but terrible ventilation. A non-smoking venue, ignored without consequence by many in attendance, leave it to a couple of assholes "moshing" to prove a nuisance. If security had any balls they'd have tossed 'em after one warning instead of four. That said, if you want smaller bands at smaller venues in this city you have to go out and support, and on 4/18/25 Sparta took the stage at The Usual Space for an exceptional set. While Sparta never achieved the commercial success of The Mars Volta Jim Ward's music has always seemed to carry forward At the Drive-In in its own way.

    Worst gig ever , Do not even spend your money on getting tickets for this place, You get the ticket with days in advance, the show started at 8pm , We arrive at 10 , and they oversold the show and people like me and my friends that have tickets already , they scanned the ticket, stamped my hand and still won't let us in cause the place is full already, why do they over sell the place if they have a max capacity. There's no refund and won't let people in. Fuck this place and I'll make sure everyone in the line leaves a bad review

    Came here to see a local band ( close to modern) and this place is just on the outskirts of Fremont street I recommend taking an Uber or cab there cause the streets around there are alittle dark, so the doorman was friendly went in and this place is super clean, decorated well, really nice bar with a vast selection of spirits with one of my favorite tequilas which is hard to find (forteleza) the bartender girl was super cool and made a good drink , plenty of seating and they have a taco truck parked right outside not sure if it's there all the time but it was there when we went l, they have a great sound system! Overall just a really cool bar that doesn't over charge you for a drink and they deejay after the band played was really good too like a dark wave deejay I will be back when I'm back in town if you get a chance check this place out !!!!!

    Amazing venue! Clean - trendy - modern - spacious. Great bar with a variety of drinks, staffed by bartenders with great knowledge. The space can open up to a bigger venue that is suitable for a range of events. Live music. There's an ATM by the bathrooms. Bathrooms are very clean, modern and spacious. There's a parking lot attached on the side. Highly recommended.

    Main entrance on Maryland Parkway.

    A Public Fit Theatre Company has done a major renovation of their theatre which they call The Usual Place. The entire interior has been redone and there is nom need now to know the way into the theatre from the back alley. Instead, the main entrance is on Maryland Parkway. After parking in the lot south of the building, simply walk to Maryland and the entrance is there quite near to the entrance to PublicUS. On entering, there's a ramp that goes slowly to a bit higher level. Check in here if the ticket person is not outside. In this area are the new restrooms which are simply amazing. It's like being in a restroom at the Bellagio. The interior was deliberately left open so a different number of seating options could be done by a director. What a remarkable change from my first production here when it had a lot of machine tool equipment. A Public Fit, thanks to you for the new house! It's superb!

    Cute spot downtime. I came here for a burlesque show and it didn't disappoint. It's intimate with a bar and good prices. They sell snacks outside which isn't ideal but knowing upfront doesn't hurt when you can eat before or after. Show was great. Dancers, hosts, both great. The show says starts at 7 but that's when doors open. If you want to sit with friends, be sure to arrive at the same time or have one person buy all the tickets. Will be back. Nice fireplace on the patio for a smoke break.

    I don't think I liked beer turns out IPA's are the exception!

    I Love! Love! This place. After a long back to work week, meeting up for drinks at the "usual place" with my coworkers to decompress is awesome! Carlos the owner/bartender is my fav. He knows his spirits and beers. I told him the first time I sat at his bar I don't like beer. Now I love! Love! IPA's! I'm a whisky girl, and guess what? A great selection. This is gonna be my spot! Cheap drinks like it's happy hour, a locals hang out spot for sure! Let's not tell the tourists!

    Not inside but they do have an outdoor patio which you can smoke outside and a food truck right in the front for those late night cravings

    Is there an age requirement?

    Hi Olivia, Yes, we are a bar and you must be 21 to enter.

    Is there live music on saturdays?

I discovered this gem a…read morefew years ago, and it has become an absolute must-visit for every single trip to Las Vegas. The indoor space is sexy and dark, beautifully designed with lots of velvet and rich textures all around. In a cool contrast, the back patio is a bright, vibrant mix of pink, turquoise, and white. While you're out there, be sure to snap a picture in their photo booth! The staff here is simply INCREDIBLE! They are always so welcoming and do a fantastic job of helping walk you through the menu. Because the cocktail menu changes frequently with unique, rotating themes, you get a completely fresh experience every single time you visit. On my last trip, the theme was music through different eras of time, which was easily one of my favorites yet. They also have standard house cocktails, be sure to check out the punch of the day! Before you leave, don't forget to check out their cool merch and swag, which is beautifully framed up on the wall right behind the bar. No matter where you are staying in Vegas, make sure to put Velveteen Rabbit at the very top of your destination list!

When I saw that the cocktail had gin I was a bit worried but our server assured me that I won't taste it. He didn't lie, I absolutely love it! It was perfectly fruity but a bit sour in all the right ways!! I thoroughly enjoy the outdoor patio and interior decor, it really set the mood/tone for my experience. Will definitely be back to try more cocktails!

However the night quickly turned sour when we tried to exit. We came in through the ally in the back because we purchased a special ticket for Juneteenth. We came in ordered a drink and then went upstairs. Music was great vibes great. I always wondered why my job was soooo big on a "notable farewell" and now I get it. We tried to exit the through the same area where we entered. It looked like an entrance only area so we saw an exit sign to the left of the bar in the back. We walked over but we saw it blocked off. We 100% WERE NOT going to try to get past the blockage however the Asian, woman, bartender in the back promptly approached us shaking her finger and rolling her neck telling us we could not exit there. Well to us that was very obvious. When we asked her where to exit she blatantly ignored us and started flashing her flashlight at the security. Never helped or guided us at all! I get it she might have been tired of telling people that they cannot exit there all night, however it was out first time trying to locate an exit and for her to flip out on us like that is unacceptable. We eventually made our way to a security guard who told us to exit in the front. AT NO POINT did ANYONE tell us "be sure to exit out the front". Maybe adding that line when entering through the back would be helpful. All in all I had a good night until the bartender in the back threw off the vibes of an otherwise successful Juneteenth.

Note that it is significantly less expensive to go on a Sunday or M-W than a Thurs/Fri/Sat would be... When I was there, they were very strict about their no photos policy. A few people in the club took their phones out on occasion, but it was nice to be mostly distraction free. The people I saw attempt to take photos were reminded of the policy and forced to delete the photos. I watched it happen twice... The security was locked in this night- Huge security staff and everyone could see them enforcing policies. The bottle service was great. Expensive, of course, but you know you're paying for that. Our server was so kind and accommodating. The busser was incredibly attentive. We got a bottle of rosé and a few cocktails. The cocktails were delicious and quite unique. Lon the Don was my favorite. The live music was incredible! A lot of talent and a wide variety of songs. The energy was electric. The DJ between live sets was great too, he really kept the hype going.

The venue itself is beautifully designed, with a more intimate, sophisticated feel compared to larger Las Vegas clubs. It's a great option if you're looking for something stylish with a strong music and ambiance focus. The overall vibe is smooth and elevated -- great music, well-dressed crowd, and an atmosphere that feels exclusive without being overwhelming. One thing worth noting is the camera policy. The venue emphasizes a no-camera experience, which I understand is meant to maintain privacy and keep the focus on the moment. However, I did notice a few cameras out and about during the night, which made the policy feel a bit inconsistent. Not a major issue, but something that stood out. Overall, it's a great spot for a more refined night out in Las Vegas. I had an enjoyable experience and would definitely return.
