Bars and lounges to choose from
CASBAR Lounge functions as the central 24-hour cocktail bar near the casino with scheduled live lounge entertainment Wednesday–Sunday nights and daily happy hours. The Tangier sits near the lobby and focuses on brown spirits (bourbon, scotch, cognac).

Practical tips for nightlife visitors
Minimum check-in age for the hotel is 21; many nightlife venues and all AZILO nights require guests to be 21+ with valid government-issued photo ID. Restaurants and the main pool deck are open to guests of all ages once a parent/guardian 21+ has checked in.

There is no free airport shuttle operated by the property.
- Bring government-issued photo ID for 21+ venues and AZILO entry
