Opal Nightclub

by Cynthia C.

Very small cramped area at the bar and horrible organization for big events.I did enjoy the sensual atmosphere of the lounge.  Tried to make reservations for dinner, but they discontinued dinner service.

Very nice space- high wood ceilings, comfy chairs that would fit two, a table for 6 with a canopy around it, etc. The drinks all Sunday night are $2 and they were showing the 5th element when we were there- great place to grab a bite, a drink, people watch, and dance. All of my favorite pasttimes actually, probably why I loved this place.

How much money did they spend on this place? Opal Lounge- oh sorry, Opal ULTRA lounge is very spacious, dimly lit, and well furnished. Leather sofas all around. In the place of chandeliers were brightly colored flowy draperies. The whole time there I felt like I was waiting for a performer from Cirque du Soleil to spiral down from one of them. The Mont Bleu (re-vamped Caesar's) did a good job with this lounge. I can't speak for any other weekend, but a group of us went up to Tahoe during MLK holiday and this place was packed. The service at the bar seemed understaffed for the crowd, but other than that- we had a great time.** The TV screens near the bar played videos of extreme snowboarders/skiers performing impossible jumps and maneuvers. Neat**

Our bachelorette party was so original that we decided to go to bachelorette night at a casino lounge in Tahoe...where of course we busted out "Beat it" type dance floor wars* with the 7 other bachelorette parties and 4 bachelor parties.There is nothing special about this venue, other than it was free and unassuming, which in the clubbing world is in fact saying a lot.  But they followed other protocol such as overpriced drinks and Alizee-flavored top 40 hits.*not really though because our bride-to-be had a "suck for a buck" shirt (which is supposed sound especially dirty but really just involves lifesavers) and so the rival bachelorettes cleared a red-sea-parting-like path to the choiciest dance floor territories for our hot creative genius selves, and all the bachelors bought us continuous flows of weak drinks.  At least, that's how I remember it.  It was pretty fun, until one of the bachelors who bought a round turned out to be an Iraq vet determined to sit me down and tell me the most sobering details of his daily struggle with PTSD and the whore of an exwife who cheated on him with his best friend****Because the universe wants me to be a psychotherapist.

Came here on a Friday night with a bunch of girls while our bf's gambled in the MontBleu casino floor.  After reading up on their website, it seemed like a chill place to go and had to check it out.  Upon entering we had to pay 10 per girl, sucks, but girl drink free all night on Fridays at Opal, so we couldn't complain. The venue is simple.  VIP tables surronded the small dancefloor while larger VIP rooms are along the walls and upstairs. The bar had seating areas and bar stools taht overlooked the dancefloor. The bartenders were very nice. Free drinks that night were only on well drinks and shots. They used cheap, which I call headache vodka for our well drinks and shots., like I said couldn't really complain free is free, right?Overall we had a great time. The dancefloor wasn't crowded, the DJ played top 40s which pleased everyone in the crowd.  The crowd itself was diverse, however it was an older crowd that partied that night!!  Hookah (20 per hour) was misleading.  There was a waitlist that was 5min to an hour long! AND they only had TWO hookahs!! Most likely a place I would not go back to.Between 2 and 3 stars.  We got a chance for a date night and decided to go clubbing.  Saturdays are free for ladies, but $20 for guys.  Your admission gets you in to Blu as well.  The bartenders were just lame, no mojitos no ideas for drinks...they just wanted to crank out the vodka and red bulls.  The clientele varied from bachelorette parties (there were a lot of these), creepy older single people and some folks that were probably in depends.  The music was okay.We ended up in Opal after an evening of casinos and drinking because there was no cover for women. Loving it already.The place was a bit slow, but we didn't care. We danced and attracted other people to the dance floor. We were invited to the VIP lounge with it's cool sofas and hookah bar vibe. We met cool people, had great conversations, great drinks and didn't leave until about 2:30 (no last call in Nevada!)It's not as crowded as Blu, the other club in Montbleu, but it's not stiflingly hot and you actually have room to move. You don't have a bunch of unknown sweaty bodies pressed around you. It's a chill place, which was a great way to wind down the evening.They also play pretty much every Lady Gaga and Katy Perry song in existence. Take that how you will, but I could find that in any club in the Castro.

First off, let me state that I went here on the fourth of July and found the place to be pretty empty for a Friday night at almost 1 AM. I don't know how other people got in for free, but we had to pay $10 for guys and $5 for girls even though we were rolling through later in the evening and hardly anyone was there.Though, the furnishings and decor are fairly nice and contemporary, the place doesn't really have the vibe of a club. It seems more like a room trying to be a hip club in LA, Miami, or Vegas but somehow it just doesn't all come together. Maybe there are too many tables that are too spread out for it to be a club? Maybe it was the lack of people there that night? But something made it seem like a movie scene trying to be a hip club more than a hip club itself.The hookah we ordered smelled good but didn't actually taste very good unfortunately. In the end though, Opal is a cool place to come to in Tahoe if you want to be in the club scene but still be able to go out and play black jack.

I was lucky enough to be at the grand opening of the Opal Ultra Lounge. Free drinks and free food was the perfect way to get introduced to this swanky bar and hookah lounge in Tahoe. Everything I tasted was exceptional for this event.From the first moment I stepped foot in this ultra lounge, I was impressed. They created a festive and fun atmosphere that is also sophisticated.When I met the mixologist and her customized liquor cart filled with a variety of organic ingredients, it was love at first sight. This is a trend I can get behind. I think she is a one of the kind at the moment ... but great ideas always seem to be duplicated. I give this establishment 5 stars because there is a lot of effort and expertise that went into this endeavor. It certainly is a risk to open a new spot in this town. Sometimes it is crowded and sometimes it is dead. If is seems less crowded than you would expect, it is because it is in Tahoe and it can be a little sleepy sometimes. And if you are in town ... get a drink here and see if you like it too. If not, the casino is in the next room.

One of the only places that you can get wasted at, dance like a drunken fool, then pass out while smoking hookah.  Awesome.The place is kinda small but has a nice feel.  They have dancers that juggle various items on fire.  I would steer clear of them as they drop these often.In terms of hookah flavors; from what I remember they were pretty subpar.  Ask if you can mix your own flavors.
