Smoke Your Stogies in Mandalay Bay’s Foundation Room
Considering that Las Vegas is nicknamed Sin City, there’s certainly no shortage of places to light up and smoke a stogie with the guys.
In previous posts, we here at VegasChatter have highlighted Casa Fuente, the standout cigar shop/smoking lounge inside the Forum Shops at Caesars Palace (take note: they also serve wine, scotch and brandy).
One spot we’ve overlooked: The Foundation Room on the top floor of Mandalay Bay.

Both flashy and accurate, Purple Reign manages to prove the old adage that imitation can prove to be a funky, highly addictive form of flattery (yes we’re paraphrasing, but you have to do that sometimes with shopworn cliches).
Led by an eerily effective Prince look-alike named Jason Tanner, the group spends nearly two hours performing a tight set of some of Prince’s best known hits, “When Doves Cry,” ‘Purple Rain,” “1999,” “Little Red Corvette,” just to name a few.
