Halloween is fast approaching, and visitors to Las Vegas know that means a whole lot of fun! Parties, attractions, and even special cocktails are all part of this year’s offerings to celebrate the spooky season.
The Venetian rings in fall with no tricks, just treats. A trio of cocktails at the property’s three premier bars, The Dorsey, Rosina and Electra Cocktail Club, are scary … delicious. The Dorsey’s Harvest Riot combines white rum, carrot juice, lemon, orgeat, grated cinnamon, an orange wedge and cherry; Electra’s El Diablo features tequila, lime, ginger juice, crème de cassis, club soda and ginger garnish; and Rosina’s Pumpkin Spice Carajillo is a delicious blend of vodka, Licor 43, espresso and, of course, pumpkin! (All are pictured at left.)
The cocktail goodness continues over at all three Minus5 Icebars—at The Linq Promenade, Mandalay Bay and The Venetian—where everything is made of ice: The Black Widow, a decidedly spooky spin on the margarita. This version features tequila, Blue Curaçao, Orange Curaçao, sweet and sour, lime juice, black sprinkles and a splash of grenadine. It’s served in—what else?—a glass made entirely of ice.
How about a true shock to the system? Freakling Bros. Horror Shows returns to the Las Vegas Valley until Oct. 31 in the IKEA parking lot at 6555 Riley St. From 7 p.m. to midnight each day, experience horror like never before. This is no movie; it’s real! The names of some of the haunts—“Coven of 13” and “Gates of Hell”—are scary enough.
Halloween definitely means parties in Las Vegas, and the Legacy Club at Circa Resort & Casino hosts an adults-only Masquerade Party from 8 to 11 p.m. on Oct. 28. All attendees receive a mask upon entry and can enjoy specialty cocktails and, because it’s Halloween, a dessert candy bar, full of goodies like saltwater taffy, gumballs, rock candy, sour belts and much more. Tickets can be ordered by going online to circalasvegas.com/legacy-club-events/
At Resorts World, the entire property is Alice in Wonderland-themed for Wonder World, from the Red Queen’s Castle at Zouk Nightclub and Mad Hatter Tea Party at Alle on 66 to the Mushroom Enchanted Forest at Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge and the Caterpillar Forest at Eight Lounge. Go through the rabbit hole and join the fun!
