To tuxedoed people, velvet ropes are ordinary white picket fences and champagne fountains are lawn sprinklers. Kick down the fence and drink from the sprinkler with today's Groupon: for $25, you get bottle service and VIP seating (a $125 value) at ETA Lounge in the Aliante Station Casino & Hotel in North Las Vegas.

Located in the chic Aliante Station Casino & Hotel, ETA ensconces cocktail sippers in the sleek, colorful lines of its modern bar and lounge. Regally enthroned in the VIP section, guests can engage in intimate conversation amid solicitous Skyy vodka bottle service, drink mixers, and a private space to escape the heat of the dance floor or to get a doctor friend to take a look at that thing on your back. ETA Lounge hosts entertainment six nights a week, including DJs, comedians, live music, and karaoke. Blue-and-pink fluorescent lighting, stylish stone floors, and flat-screen TV's swirl together like a Sin City slushy to create a high-energy atmosphere, perfect for shaking one's tail to the music or nursing slot machine–induced carpal tunnel syndrome with a drink.
