We loved the new Tag Lounge and Bar at The Quad before it even opened<\/a>, so we had to visit again to check it out.<\/p>\n

In a world exclusive, which makes it sound far more impressive than it is, we uncovered the inspiration for Tag’s name: It’s an acronym for “Totally Automated Gaming.” (Since it’s an acronym, we should probably capitalize it, but shouting puts us on edge, so nevermind.)<\/p>\n

Yep, automated. In other words, all the games in Tag have no live dealers. The name also came about because “tag” can relate to social media, as in “tagging photos,” or as shorthand for “hashtag.”<\/p>\n

Tag lends The Quad a splash of much-needed color.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Tag’s seductive decor goes a long way toward silencing those who say The Quad’s interior is bland. (Also, as we’ve been saying for some time, The Quad’s casino renovations aren’t done. Patience!)<\/p>\n

Returning to Tag we found more things to like, including tabletop touch screens, like those at iBar at Rio Las Vegas. They’re like giant iPads, but without the monthly service plan. The tabletop screens have games and Internet access, making them fun diversions and conversation-starters.<\/p>\n

\"Touch<\/a>
It’s weird having a machine in a casino that doesn’t accept bills, but we could get used to that.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Even on its first day of operation, Tag was doing brisk business.<\/p>\n

Here’s a video walk-through of our new favorite bar that we haven’t actually had time to hang out in but we think you’ll like it, anyway.<\/p>\n
