Libation Sensations
It’s with great pleasure that we present our second annual Drinks Issue, dedicated to an aspect of entertainment that arguably no city does better than Las Vegas. We’re home to some of the best mixologists, bartenders, sommeliers and servers in the world, and we’re proud to spotlight them and their amazing creations this week in Las Vegas Magazine
• A big part of the excitement of bars and lounges is the prospect of discovering a bartender who helps redefi ne the drinking experience. Associate editor Kiko Miyasato interviewed five of the city’s top experts and had them make their unique creations (“Hey, Bartender!” p. 30). Get ready to discover some great new drinks—and learn about the people who make them.
• We’re all about valuable information that we can pass onto our guests, and with that in mind, we enlisted the help of two of the city’s top wine experts in helping visitors make the best decisions when it comes to pairing a good vino with a meal (“Through the Grapevine,” p. 18).
• Some of you out there may be looking for great tea- and co ee-based drinks. If so, check out associate editor Em Jurbala’s flowchart directing you to the best choices, depending on your individual preferences (“Find Your Fuel,” p. 38).

• No two words put a bigger smile on the faces of tipplers than “happy hour,” and Miyasato has assembled some of the best ones in town (“Sweet Deals,” p. 40).

They’re Putting on the Spritz
Italian-themed destination excels at liquid refreshments
It’s a time-honored tradition among Vegas visitors to promenade along the Strip. Depending on the direction, a walkabout can lead to discoveries that may not have been on the original travel itinerary and can take an epicurean turn. Should the route pass in front of Park MGM, the opportunity to explore Eataly Las Vegas awaits just inside the resort’s entrance next to Dolby Live.
A hard left leads to Eataly Bar, the newest addition to the Italian-style mercado inside the smokeless casino-resort. Advertised as being “where the spirit of the Amalfi Coast meets Las Vegas,” the horseshoe-shaped Eataly Bar specializes in spritzes and serves up an eye-opening espresso martini.
“Definitely, spritzes are one of the very famous Italian cocktails,” says Italian-born Luca Esposito, general manager of Eataly Las Vegas. “We do love our classics, but we work on getting creative as well. Our team is committed to come up with multiple options to make sure we can meet all different tastes.”
Options abound at Eataly Las Vegas, from fine dining at Toscana Ristorante & Bar by Eataly to the counters of La Cucina del Mercato. Eataly Bar completes a trio of bars including upscale Gran Caffè Milano and stylish L’Apertivo,
but it specializes in pizza al padellino. The crispy edges and soft, airy center can accommodate a variety of toppings such as thin, tantalizing slices of potato. (Trust us, you’ll want to try this!)
Eataly Bar’s menu offers 10 types of spritzes to meet the demand of fizzydrink aficionados. “They’re definitely loving it,” says Esposito. “I think the most common spritz that people know of is the traditional Aperol spritz. We add different ways to discover it.”
There are different ways to discover wine while visiting Eataly as well. “Each of our restaurants is designed to provide a different wine experience,” says Esposito, citing Toscana’s beverage program as being recognized with awards from Wine Spectator magazine two years in a row.
So vino served while watching dinner prepared at Chef’s Table contrasts with the presentation at La Pizza & La Pasta, where Italian cuisine is paired with 9-ounce wine carafes through March 30 during its Restaurant Fest. Eataly Las Vegas celebrates Italian cuisine year-round, though, and elevates dessert to a heavenly level. Don’t forget to take the cannoli. –Matt Kelemen

The Past Is Present
Celebrity entrepreneur’s newest Las Vegas outpost pays homage to its legendary host property in serious style
The Vanderpump clan’s first two Vegas venues were great ideas that raised the bar for hospitality on the Strip, but Pinky’s by Vanderpump feels … different, almost like it was destined to be. Opened in December 2024 at Flamingo with 32 bar seats, 166 table seats and dessert drinks garnished with Flamingo cookies, Pinky’s immediately felt integral to its property. Adult flamingos are usually shades of pink, and if anyone can incorporate pink and flamingos into a design concept that pays homage to the legacy of the historical hotel, it’s Lisa Vanderpump (whose nickname is “Pinky”).
A big part of that is the drink menu. Pinky’s is a mix of guests with table reservations and people traversing the Strip who happen upon the establishment and are drawn in by its socially friendly environment and classic décor. But what keeps everyone there are the enticing drink selections.
“The Less Depresso, More Espresso has just taken off,” said Ryan Kelly, Flamingo’s director of beverage, of the martini with the pour-over presentation that piques the curiosity of onlookers. Other favorites are the Jailbird, presented
in a brass birdcage, and the Pinky’s Pumptini, the gold flake-garnished variation on the martini featured on Vanderpump Rules
“This was all a collaboration with Pandora, who is Lisa’s daughter,” said Kelly. “She’s amazing and extremely talented, and she helps with every piece of the food and beverage menu. It was months. It was phone calls, it was Zooms, text messages, ideas, different glassware choices. Every one of our drinks is served in a different glass.”
The effort paid off, as anyone who has perused the drink menu can attest. There is some crossover with the Paris Las Vegas and Caesars venues (Vanderpump à Paris and Vanderpump Cocktail Garden, respectively), but most of the drinks are unique to Pinky’s.
“I think Lisa Vanderpump and (designer) Nick Alain really leaned into that,” said Kelly of Flamingo’s long, storied history. “Lisa always describes it as wanting to step back into time. I think once you walk in that door and cross that threshold, you truly do feel like you’re back 70 or 80 years ago.” –Matt Kelemen

A Very Special Treat
Speakeasy inside food hall serves some of the best cocktails in the city
It’s the purrfect hidden retreat for an adventure in cocktailing. Here Kitty Kitty Vice Den is kinda like a kitty—sometimes it’s impossible to find it. The bar and lounge really is hidden, and we’ll tell you how to find it. Just look for the Fuhu Cha Chaan Teng food stall inside Famous Foods Street Eats; you’ll see that one wall seems to open and close beginning around 5 p.m. every evening.
Inside this space, a team of top mixologists whip up unique specialty cocktails
like the punch bowl-sized Jerry Thomas Brandy Punch, pictured, made with Hennessy V.S, Grand Marnier, aged rum, hibiscus and grenadine.
Don’t sleep on the Bartender’s Choice cocktail. You’ll be asked questions based on your drinking likes and dislikes, but also the types of foods you like, scents you enjoy and movies you love, all leading to a cocktail that is uniquely yours.
The atmosphere and décor are reminiscent of a cool speakeasy one would
find tucked away in the night markets of Beijing. But be forewarned: This is a small, small space, which makes it even more of an experience, because you’ll feel as if you’ve been let into a special secret. With its impressive mixology program and its marvelous atmosphere, HKKVD is more than worth the effort it takes to find it. –Kiko Miyasato

Through the Grapevine
Need advice on wine? The experts are here to help
Need help in choosing the right wine when dining out at that fancy Strip restaurant? No problem! Las Vegas Magazine ’s Ken Miller enlisted the aid of two of the Strip’s top wine experts, Dylan Amos, wine director at Delmonico Steakhouse at The Venetian, and Louis Hamilton , sommelier at Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at MGM Grand, to answer some burning questions wine newbies might have. Have fun—and drink responsibly!
What are the best red and best white recommendations for wine newbies?
Hamilton: Chardonnay is a great white to start with as it’s not overly assertive and usually has a hint of oak, which imbibes a hint of brown spices. Pinot noir from California or Burgundy is wonderful as a first red wine because the tannin levels are usually more aligned with being smoother and elegant.
Amos: For both of these, I’m suggesting wines that won’t break the bank but are serious as well. Try the delightful white blend from Albert Boxler Edelzwicker Réserve. Crafted from grand cru pinot gris and riesling (and a few other grapes), this white from Alsace is balanced, bright and yummy. It’s
approachable for the newbie and has the sophistication for your more experienced friends. You really can’t beat Oregon for quality at all price points. Failla Willamette Valley pinot noir is bursting with red fruits and subtle spices and florals with a soft, easygoing finish.
What wine should you pair with steak?
Hamilton: A full-bodied syrah from Cornas or Walla Walla is a perfect steak pairing due to its bold structure, dark berry fruit and signature white pepper notes. Both wines have the acidity and spice to enhance the steak’s richness while balancing its char and seasoning.
Amos: At Delmonico, our go-to wine to pair with all of our steaks is the 2020 Chateau Palmer Alter Ego. The quality of tannin matches our seasoning, the minerality pairs with the dry aging, and the elegance and structure match our A5 Japanese wagyu. It’s a win/win all around.
Wine varies so much in price. What’s a great cheap, mid-price and expensive wine?
Hamilton: For an inexpensive wine, try Côtes du Rhône or Gamay Beaujo-
&A
lais. For a mid-price wine, I like to venture into Spanish Priorat and Rhônestyle blends from Paso Robles. For an expensive wine, try 1er cru Burgundy (I like Volnay and Chambertin) or older Super Tuscan wines from Italy.
Amos: For an inexpensive wine, Portuguese whites. The bang for your buck in this category is unbelievable. We work with Luis Seabra Xisto Ilimitado, and it drinks like it costs two to three times its price. For a mid-price wine, we work with a Napa Valley cabernet called Band of Vintners. It’s masterminded by master sommelier Desmond Echavarrie and fills a gap that has been abandoned—a quality Napa cabernet that can be drunk every day. For an expensive wine, Bartolo Mascarello Barolo. An old-school stalwart that believes in blending to make the best wine every year. A masterclass in winemaking with unbelievable quality and aging potential.
Other than your respective restaurants, what are some hot spots on the Strip for wine?
Hamilton: We enjoy La Cave at Wynn for its ambience and amazing selections. Also, Hugo’s Cellar offers a taste of old Vegas flair inside Four Queens.
Amos: Wally’s Wine & Spirits at Resorts World Las Vegas has … everything.

Different Drinks
Tour the valley and try these no-alcohol sips
We know you came to Vegas to frolic down the Strip, spending your days (and nights) imbibing, gaming and sightseeing. But while you’re here, why not explore further, taking a tour of the Valley’s hottest hubs and their yummiest bevs? All nonalcoholic of course—that way, you can drive yourself all over town!
Start your journey at Fine Company in Downtown Summerlin, which is a convenient stop if you’re on your way back from a morning hike at Red Rock Canyon (wink
wink, nudge nudge). Order the Groovy, a fizzy concoction flavored with tangerine, lemon cordial and mint, for citrusy satisfaction at this comfortable neighborhood hot spot.
From there, head to UnCommons to find Todo Bien, a tiki tequileria. Try the N/Alote, a unique combination of sweet corn, piloncillo, almond milk and cinnamon or have the Sundown Sipper, pictured, a delicious combination of pineapple, pomegranate and lemon.
No tour of the valley would be complete without a trip to the bustling Chinatown area, and there’s no more iconic bar than Golden Tiki. Sip the Tropical Vertigo, a combination of Kalinago Carib, ginger, pineapple and lime juice, topped with seltzer.
Finally, back to the Boulevard and into hookah lounge Blue Martini at Town Square Las Vegas to enjoy a Spritz-Cello, made with Pallini LimonZERO, sparkling water and vanilla. –Em Jurbala
Oui, We Are So There
Paris-themed restaurant’s After Dark series highlights cocktails and entertainment
One of the Strip’s most elegant spots for brunch and dinner is now one of the coolest spots to imbibe and party into the wee small hours. Chéri Rooftop, a French-inspired restaurant that also boasts some of the most spectacular views of the Strip (thanks to its ideal location directly beneath the faux Eiffel Tower), recently launched a new party series, Chéri After Dark.
Every Friday and Saturday, Chéri Rooftop transforms into a high-energy party atmosphere, featuring live DJ performances, bottle service and curated cocktails. Toast with your cocktail or champagne and dance the night away. (Reservations are strongly encouraged, and can be made at cherirooftop.com.)
To really get yourself in the party mood, order signature cocktails like Margarita’s Trip to Paris, pictured, a sumptuous sip made with Don Julio blanco, Cointreau, St-Germain, Chambord, fresh lime juice and raspberry. If you’re more of a whiskey fan, the Eiffel Sour combines Rittenhouse rye, lavender bitters, fresh lemon juice and absinthe, with a Bordeaux float. And cognac aficionados won’t want to miss the Ooh La La, a heady mix of Remy Martin, mango, fresh orange, mint and club soda. –Ken Miller

LA GRANITA
Caramella at Planet Hollywood
702.785.5551
Although it’s only March, Las Vegas is starting to see some more-than-decent thermometer readings. If you’re like me, you’re always looking for a little relief from warm temps, and for me, this is the go-to drink for that. This tasty cocktail has been crafted from Maestro Dobel Diamante tequila, orangecello, grapefruit, lemon and prosecco. The tequila itself is a blend of three varieties—extra-añejo, añejo and reposado—which goes through a filtering process after aging to create a crystal-clear spirit, hence the name. It has notes of honey, maple and caramel (seems fitting considering the name of the restaurant, eh?), and even a little vanilla, which create a background depth for the bright, citrus ingredients, and the bubbles of the prosecco tickle your tongue. –Nina King
CUCUMBER AGUA FRESCA
¡VIVA! by Ray Garcia at Resorts World Las Vegas 702.676.6020
The perfect morning-after drink, this vibrant-green bev will leave you hydrated and refreshed when you order it during brunch at ¡VIVA! The lightly
sweet, cooling drink is made by blending cucumbers with water and straining that mixture to create a pulp-free juice that is then sweetened with agave or honey, given a pinch of salt and flavored with a squeeze of fresh lime. It’s a simple, subtle concoction with a taste so pleasant that one sip will win you over. It certainly had me hooked, as I spent La Granita

hours trying to re-create the bright beverage, only to come up slightly short of perfecting its delicate balance of flavors. Make this drink even better by kicking back with it on the restaurant’s fabulous patio. –Em Jurbala
SINGLE BARREL OLD-FASHIONED
Bourbon Steak at Four Seasons Hotel Las Vegas
702.632.5000
Ask anyone who knows me reasonably well: My absolute favorite cocktail is the Old-Fashioned. Always has been. Always likely will be. There’s just something so timeless about something that is made with just a few basic ingredients. And one of the newest versions on the Strip has quickly become a new obsession of mine. This truly signature product at master chef Michael Mina’s newest Strip restaurant adds an apple accent, with apple brandy mixed in with Russell’s Reserve 10-year bourbon (with coconut!), mulled Demerara and toasted pecan bitters. The addition of a dried apple slice adds a wonderful, colorful accent to what is already one of my favorite Old-Fashioned versions ever. –Ken Miller
L-O-V-E
Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa Resort & Casino
702.726.5504
When Wilson Barrera, bartender at Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa Resort & Casino, was creating this new cocktail, he wanted to add a rim, but something different than just another sugar-dipped rim (as delicious as those are). So he added a brush of raspberry compote, and—man oh man!—does that little unique touch send this slightly sweet and well-balanced cocktail over the top. I couldn’t put it down between sips. The blend of Grey Goose Strawberry essence vodka, lychee syrup, Aperol, lime juice and egg whites is sent into another level with that simple touch of sweetness. And forgive me for breaking the rules (I know we’re picking one cocktail), but I can’t help mentioning that Barrera promises he’ll also make you the best espresso martini of your life, so now you have two reasons to visit! –Kiko Miyasato

Visitors to Las Vegas increasingly want a custom experience based on recommendations. They want aspects of classic Vegas mixed with something special not offered by every resort, especially when it comes to libations. Speakeasies, special presentations, craft cocktails, happy hours, hors d’oeuvres and hot teas contribute to the evolution of the food and beverage scene of the Strip and Downtown Las Vegas, as do the concept innovators, design visionaries, bartenders, hosts and servers whose efforts and expertise combine to create memorable moments for guests.
Those moments are created via presentation and panache at Barry’s Downtown Prime at Circa Resort & Casino, which lists its drinks cart at the top of its extensive cocktail menu and wine list. The handsomely designed steakhouse incorpo -

rated the mobile cart to allow mixologists like bartender Sam to make Old-Fashioneds and Manhattans tableside.
“Over the years we traveled a lot (for research and development),” says co-owner Yassine Lyoubi. “You always want to go out, try new stuff, and one of the restaurants that was on our list for the longest time was Eleven Madison Park.”
Manhattan’s critically lauded Eleven Madison Park had four-star fine dining and drink cart service that Lyoubi fell in love with and inspired the amenity at Barry’s. Precision mixing of regular or top-shelf selections, including a tequila variation, in the dining room stokes curiosity among guests who wind up ordering tableside service themselves.
Curiosity is what leads guests of Bellagio to find The Vault, an upscale, sophisticated speakeasy hiding in plain sight on the casino floor. There are no signs, but there is a symbol on the entrance’s exterior that guests with reservations are directed to. The interior is dark, intimate and luxurious, with sophisticated music playing through the sound system at conversation-friendly levels.
It’s a setting worthy of the heavy-bound menu of cocktails, written by an anonymous author with Pulitzer-worthy prose.
Datamosh
Read about offerings like the Vapor Trail Old-Fashioned, made with Japanese whiskey, served in a translucent cover filled with maple smoke and poured in a spinning glass: “Like a mystery unveiled, the enclosure lifts to reveal an enthralling elixir, meticulously crafted to deliver a richly satisfying multi-sensory experience.”
Speaking of such experiences, after perusing Omega Mart, the surreal grocery store with a fantasy backroom area inside AREA15, visitors have the option to stop in Datamosh, a cyberpunk’s vision of a speakeasy with a menu of specialty cocktails, spirits, beer, wine, hard kombucha and mocktails.
Datamosh’s Meowjito blends white and golden rum with guava for its spin on the mojito. Vodka-based Happle Juice keeps the doctor away with apple liqueur, apple juice and apple blossom bitters. Paloma Pop!! mixes tequila with grapefruit, while Orange Dream blends vodka or mezcal with orange juice and vanilla whip.
Immersive visual venue Arte Museum eschews alcohol for the options provided by its ARTE CAFE. After traversing the attraction, a teahouse experience awaits. Drinks and desserts are served in a relaxing environment on tables that double as media art, with images that move and react with the motions of a teacup.
For a sky-high drinking experience, there’s no beating the Happy Half Hour at the High Roller at The Linq Promenade, where an open bar can be reserved and enjoyed as the observation wheel makes its 30-minute rotation. Up to 25 people can be served in a cabin that reaches an altitude of 550 feet and provides unparalleled views of the Strip, as well as a drinking experience that is truly distinctive.

I prefer a little subtle-tea, if you know what I mean.
Well, when in Vegas … I’m into that!
Order this bit of buzz concocted with Stoli vodka, espresso and New Deal Co ee Liqueur, a spirit made from cold brew produced by Marigold Co ee, which is a Portland-based, women-owned, small-batch co ee roaster. Sip this sweet treat while enjoying any of the decadent desserts o ered here. We highly recommend the triple lemon cake that comes with a totally delish amaretti cookie.
Amalfi by Bobby Flay at Caesars Palace. 702.650.5965
You could get a boring brew from Easy’s Donuts and Co ee, but something totally rad awaits in the tucked-away speakeasy that hides behind this stall in Proper Eats Food Hall. Once you find this hidden hot spot, order the Shroomin’, an absolutely stunning mixture of Botanist Gin, matcha, lemon and honey served in the neatest mushroom glasses on a smoking moss and mushroom board. You’ll definitely be posting this one in your after-travel photo dump.
Easy’s Cocktail Lounge at Aria. easysvegas.com
Known for its signature (and award-winning) black sugar bubble tea, this beverage stall that sits across the walkway from Famous Foods Street Eats serves countless delights. For an ultra-rich energizer, sip this combination of co ee, tapioca pearls and creamy whipped topping. If that seems like a bit much for you, order half sweet and enjoy while you peruse the resort.

How much are you looking for?

I’ll pass for now.
Just a quick pick-me- up is all I need.
Let’s keep it reasonable. I’m not wasting my time in Vegas sitting in a coffee shop!
how do you feel about a sip that’s also a Snack?
Absolutely not, just a drink for me.
You’ll absolutely love this elevated take on a traditional mocha from this San Francisco “bean-to-bar” smallbatch chocolate maker. It’s made with European sipping chocolate and a double shot of espresso, topped with cocoa-nib whipped cream. Don’t forget to order a sweet snack from award-winning pastry chef Lisa Vega, who’s mastered that art of making high-quality chocolate with just two ingredients: cocoa beans and organic sugar.

are you looking for a ol’ cup of joe or something a little Plain fancier?
I’d like something a little zhuzhed up.
I’ll stick with something standard.
Step up to this 24-hour co ee counter to taste the carefully crafted Zingerman’s Co ee, a Michigan-based brand that sources its beans globally and roasts them to perfection in small batches. Find all your café drink staples here, but we’d recommend embracing the simplicity of a single cup of brewed co ee so you can taste the various flavor notes that give Zingerman’s its incredible taste.

I’d love to sit a spell, people-watch maybe.
Do you want to or Grab and go Stay Awhile? or RIch Refreshing?
Truth be told, Zeppola Café is a Las Vegas Magazine sta favorite, and for good reason. The quaint spot just o St. Mark’s Square is the perfect place to stop in, grab a pastry and a cuppa, and stay awhile. Order the London Fog, a tea latte made with sweetened Earl Grey and steamed milk, often flavored with vanilla or lavender.
Zeppola Café at The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian. 725.204.6595
I’ll indulge, why not?
So mething to cool down with sounds really nice.
Journey o -Strip to the ever-popular Chinatown area for this fruity find, made with oolong tea and flavored with honey-marinated ginger and a hint of raspberry. You could take your tea to-go, but once you step into the adorably appointed drinkery, you’ll surely want to stay awhile. Garden-like décor fills the industrial space, creating a perfect juxtaposition of urban and whimsical design and providing the perfect backdrop to socialize or scroll.

As you order that cocktail, take a closer look at the ingredients— you might find global spirits with a whole history and traditions. Here are a few you might encounter, and some that might be more visible this year.
Tequila is one of the more wellknown global spirits, sourced from blue agave grown around Tequila, Mexico, and surrounding regions, produced there from the late 1700s. Its popularity has grown exponentially, and you’ll find it in the Spicy Cucumber margarita at Rosa Mexicano at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood, where reposado tequila has been infused with jalapeños and serranos, or the Smoked Maple margarita at Emeril’s New Orleans Fish House at MGM Grand with Montezuma tequila and barrel-smoked maple syrup.
Mezcal is also distilled from agave. (In fact, tequila got its start as mezcal, but now uses di erent methods of production.) Although it has a characteristically smoky profile, that is just part of the charm, says Tim Weigel, a

mixologist at Circa Casino & Resort who will be leading a session at this week’s Bar & Restaurant Expo in Las Vegas. “It is quite versatile even though the public perception is that it is just a ‘smoky tequila.’” Find it at Swingers Las Vegas at Mandalay Bay in the Paloma Prima with Dos Hombres mezcal, Aperol aperitivo, Fever-Tree sparkling grapefruit soda and lemon juice; or at Crush at MGM Grand in the El Diablo with Mezcal Verás, Amaro Montenegro, hibiscus, morita chili pepper and lime juice.
Another desert spirit is sotol, a clean, bright spirit made from the plant of the same name. Those plants take 25 years to mature, and each produces only one bottle of sotol. “Sotol is really making some inroads. It responds well to vegetal and herbal ingredients, giving you that desert flavor while providing a drier option that the public clamors to be served,” says Weigel.
It’s certain you’ve heard of rum, but what do you know about it? Sugar cane-based spirits have been made for
thousands of years in the Southeast Asia island nations. Rum made its way to the Caribbean by the 1700s, where an association with sailors became well-known. It’s now distilled in many locations, including Zacapa, Guatemala. That’s where Zacapa Solera 23 was born in 1976 for the 100th anniversary
of the town. The rum is distilled from the first pressing of the sugar cane, and woven petate bands around each bottle help support more than 700 textile producers. Try it in The Fireside Fashioned at The Tangier at SAHARA Las Vegas, which features Zacapa Solera 23 rum and Licor 43. An unusual option for a rum experience is the Fruit & Pebble with Diplomático Planas rum, Taylor Fladgate tawny port and Fruity Pebbles syrup at Glass Bar at Planet Hollywood.
Similar to rum is cachaça, a fermented, sugar cane-based spirit dating from the 1500s that is wildly popular in Brazil. Sip it in The Modifier at Bazaar Mar at The Shops at Crystals.
Taste two separate Japanese ingredients in the TLM at Golden Gai at The Venetian, where sake, the classic rice-fermented beverage, and Suntory’s Haku vodka are mixed with lemon and lychee juice. Haku vodka is filtered through bamboo charcoal, yielding slightly sweet tones. Japan has also gained recognition in the spirits world for its whiskies. The earthy spirit can be experienced at Resorts World Las Vegas’ Carversteak in the Sakura Harmony, with Tenjaku blended Japanese whiskey and Matsui Shuzo umeshu (a Japanese plum wine).

Why choose one downtown haunt when you can enjoy them all?
Going out for a night of revelry in Downtown Las Vegas should be on everyone’s to-do list, but there are so many unique bars and lounges nestled into the tightly packed district that visiting just one bar couldn’t possibly be enough. This part of town calls for a bar crawl, and luckily for
right there. Start at Atomic Liquors, Las Vegas’ oldest freestanding bar with an incredibly storied history for some incredibly creative mixed bevs. Try the Cuclear Reactor, made with tequila, cucumber syrup, lime and elderflower for a sweet and refreshing sip, or enjoy one of the local beers on

in addition to handcrafted cocktails. For something striking to post on your socials, order the Violet Vibes, a bright purple mixture of gin, creme de violet, hibiscus and lemon. Sail on down to Stray Pirate for a tiki bar experience like none other. This menu has cocktail strength indicators, so you can decide to take it easy or go totally all out. Next, seek out Liquid Diet and taste some of the strangest concoctions a mixologist could cook up. If you’re feeling bold, order the horseradish shot, which comes with a tomato chaser. To end this night you’ll need to make a reservation at Seven:45, an R&B speakeasy that only admits 40 people at a time.

Just one block over from Commerce Street sits Main Street, one of the most bumping boulevards in the area. You can start your tipple tour here or continue on from the Commerce Street route.
Works for some hilariously named and totally tasty drinks like the #Free Britney before heading to ReBAR, a locals’ favorite bar with a fantastic patio. Then pop across the street to Velveteen Rabbit for inventive cocktails like the Cigars & Cigarettes, made with fennel and clove-infused bourbon, Elixir d’Anvers, ginger, Peychaud’s bitters and a spritz of Laphroaig Scotch. End this romp at the funky and fun JammyLand Cocktail Bar & Reggae Kitchen. The menu features drinks made from artisan ingredients with flavors you certainly can’t find elsewhere. Order A Tale of Two Pears for a smoky, sweet mix of pear-infused mezcal, fresh lime, prickly pear syrup, pink peppercorn and creole bitters. What a fantastic finisher! Happy crawling!
THE DRINKS COME OUT AT NIGHT
PRESENTED BY OMEGA MART
Omega Mart’s cocktails are full of personality
While Omega Mart is full of hilarious products and mysteries to explore, their best-kept secret is actually the Datamosh bar, tucked away within the exhibition.
Most Omega Mart shoppers walk right past it, searching for portals and other dimensions, and overlook it entirely. If you’re lucky enough to find it (spoiler alert: it’s near the Pharmacy), you’ll also find that, like everything they do, the drink options go beyond the ordinary and venture into the deliciously weird.
The cocktails at Omega Mart’s Datamosh at AREA15 reflect the sense of whimsy and humor evident in the rest of Omega Mart’s surreal grocery store. Each has its own personality—literally!
