Good (expensive) drinks to order in a casino

[jacksquat]

red white & blue....$.99 a six pack in the early to mid 70s. home poker games and cheap beer......ahh good times.

back on topic... i always assumed that if you ordered top shelf booze in your comp drinks, you probably got the cheap bar booze. i am a beer drinker, so i don't really know.

Tanquerey 10 is a step above and most places carry it... makes a great Gin and tonic

Vodka------Effin. Kicks the heck out of Kettle One and Grey Goose

Unless you're looking for a true dirty martini, in which case I've never tasted anything better than a Ketel One.

As an aside, the coldest martini I've ever had came from that martini bar inside Wynn that is....I think it's nearish to the room elevators? Highly recommended. I don't think the waitresses in the poker room will bring you drink from that bar, though.

If you're a bourbon guy, try Woodford Reserve. Tequilla? Patron Silver.

Or try out quality single malt scotches like Macallan, Balvenie, Lagavullen, etc.

But be careful. I enjoyed so much Macallan in the poker room at Venetian last summer I wound up sleeping on the floor of the bathroom in my suite.

Can you get Macallan, Balvenie or Lagavulin in the poker room? I am going to the Wynn in a couple of weeks, and if these are available, that would be awesome. Also, anyone know if you can get Bookers Bourbon? Thanks.

Scotch - Johnnie Walker Blue

Bourbon - Maker's Mark

Ever had Cost Cutter beer??? It was private label beer marketed by the Kroger grocery store chain back years ago. Gives new meaning to 'Rot Gut'. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

I would like confirmation of this as well.

It would bring a whole new level of value to playing B&M poker. That [censored] is expensive.

This reminds me... as of Monday a week ago Caesars LV no longer allows you to order by brand. You may only order "vodka", "scotch", "bourbon", "tequila", etc now. Poker room has decided they won't pay for premium booze. MGM I know also refuses to offer top-shelf (you can get it if you pay for it). Monte Carlo refuses to serve Red Bull in the poker room (dunno 'bout ethanol-containing fluids).

So no, you ain't gettin' snooty single malt scotches from every poker room.

a Rusty Nail is good if you like scotch.

I know I can't get top shelf stuff at most poker rooms, but does anyone know what you can get at the high end places, specifically at the Wynn where I am staying, or at the Venetian where I will be having dinner one night? If anyone knows the highest end Scotch, Bourbon, Cognac and Tequilla either of these places serve I would appreciate the info. Thanks.
