I'd like a PBR, served in a cup of gold.

For those who cannot afford PBR there is always Red White & Blue. I don't know if they still make it but it did leave me with temporary blindness after drinking a case of it after the Phillies won the Series in 1980. Well, it was either that or the hash. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]

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

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]

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.

Well first I have got to say that gambling while drunk is generally -EV. But if you really want to do it, a couple of Old Crusties (Bacardi 151 with Wild Turkey shots) will certainly fix you up fairly quickly.

I'm late to the party, but I've gotten quite fond of ordering Scotch. I still don't know enough to tell a single malt from a double malt by taste, though. The only single malt I found in Tunica is the Glenlivet at the Horseshoe; not sure how that maps to Vegas options.

Double shot Jack Daniels straight up and a Heineken chaser at the Borgata in AC.

I drink this, rack out and go eat dinner. It saves me like 15 bucks for drinks.

Cocktail waitress: Cocktails? Guy behind the guy.
Mike: I'll have a scotch on the rocks. Any scotch will do as long as it's not a blend of course. Single malt Glenlivet, Glenfiddich perhaps maybe a Glen... any Glen.

Looks like people have the scotch angle covered, so I'll throw a vote out for VanGogh gin. Best. GnT. Ever. Haven't tried it in a gimlet or martini but it's good stuff. I think they make vodka as well.
