Coyote Ugly at New York-New York

There are a lot of bars and nightclubs in Vegas where swanky dress codes are strictly enforced and you have to be one of the "beautiful people" to earn a place to sit on a reserved couch. Coyote Ugly is not one of those places. This is a drinking joint with a college party atmosphere. The Southern-style saloon, based on the legendary New York City bar and film of the same name, has wooden floors and walls, and wooden bars with no chairs or bar stools. Coyote Ugly's trademark is the sexy female bartenders who get up on the bar and dance, sing and encourage patrons to drink more alcohol. Surprisingly, you will find a pretty even mix of men and women. The men come to ogle the "Coyotes," and the women come to let loose and dance. Women are encouraged to get up on the bar and cavort with the bartenders. Sorry, men aren't allowed on the bar. Of course, with all the women to look at, most don't seem to mind. Women are also encouraged to leave their undergarments behind for the "Bra Wall of Fame." Guys are a little more reserved -- they simply leave neckties behind instead.

Any attire goes at Coyote Ugly. In fact, it might not be a bad idea to dress down because the bartenders occassionally take it upon themselves to spray the crowd with water. There is no DJ at the bar, but there is a jukebox with plenty of loud classic and contemporary rock music -- everything from AC/DC and Limp Bizkit to Kid Rock. Conversation is nearly impossible over the music, unless you go into the back room where there are some places to sit and escape the rowdy front bar. Coyote Ugly does not serve mixed drinks, only shots and beer, but there is a daiquiri bar outside Coyote Ugly selling frozen drinks for about $4. However, the drinks cannot be brought back into the club. There also is a logo shop with clothing and other items to commemorate your trip to Coyote Ugly -- the place where "misbehavior is encouraged."
