Tips for Dining, Eating, and Food Shopping in Arizona, New Mexico, and Nevada (exc. Phoenix, Las Vegas)
Start New ThreadIn general, where are the best cocktails in Vegas. Especially Margaritas and Martinis. Not concerned about the atmosphere or looking for anything especially "trendy", just good, strong, good value cocktails...
Thanks!

Was in Vegas last week & Got dragged to Margaritaville in the Flamingo. Food was horrid as expected. Drinks were terrible also. You would think a place that lauds their drinks so much would at least have the decency to put some alcohol in their drinks. Avoid at all costs! Believe it or not, Toby Keiths Bar in Harrah's made a better drink. Strong & good flavor - nothing fru-fru.
The Food Network has had a lot of buzz lately for Toby Ellis (Pure at Cesears) but his drinks look a bit more fussy. He has won several awards for his drinks.
Cheers!

If you like Martinis, try Red Square in Mandalay (unless you are purely a Gin Martini person)--their vodka selection is unbelievable! The surface of the bar is coated in ice, so it keeps drinks cold.
For margaritas, the best I've had are at Isla located in the Treasure Island. As many tequilas as Red Sqaure has vodkas.

Another great pace for a Fab cocktail is Parasol Down @ the Wynn @ Sunset.
Try the Savory Martini and watch the light show....
If you want Kitschy Las Vegas and Great Cocktail....try the Peppermill/Fireside Lounge

I have heard about the "Scorpion" at Peppermills. However, I don't see it on the menu. Any ideas on that?
Thanks so far!

Great, interesting, creative, and strong drinks at the bar at Daniel Bouloud at the Wynn.
And a second vote for Parasol Up (Down?) at the Wynn too.
