• The Studio inside Hakkasan nightclub at MGM Grand welcomes SaadiQ Wednesdays, a new party every week at 10:30 p.m. Singer/songwriter Raphael SaadiQ teams up with DJ Franzen for a night of R&B and B-sides music. Cover is only $10 for females and $20 for males.
• A new speakeasy has opened at The Grand Canal Shoppes at The Venetian, 1923 LIVE. Guests can enjoy ticketed entertainment like a comedy-magic show and a live yacht rock band. On Friday and Saturday nights a free, live music party, NOLA Nights, brings the vibes of New Orleans jazz along with burlesque dancers, and guests are encouraged to dress up in Prohibition-era attire. Specialty Prohibition-inspired cocktails, along with a strong brown spirits program, fill the cocktail menu.
• Flanker Kitchen + Sports Bar at Mandalay Bay launched Taco Tuesday from 4-11 p.m. with $5 select draft beers, $8 margaritas and the 3x3 taco and margarita flight for $24.
• For those catching country star Morgan Wallen at Allegiant Stadium, don’t miss the party About Last Night with John Price at Foundation Room at Mandalay Bay. Price is Wallen’s tour DJ, and he’ll be throwing an all-country affair at the lounge on Aug. 8 at 9 p.m.
• Tiki fans, head to Glitter Gulch Tiki, a new tiki bar in the heart of downtown Las Vegas. Guests can immerse themselves in island vibes with beachy seating, a center bar and an intimate dance floor for live music while enjoying tons of exotic and tiki-inspired cocktails and well as Dole Whip cocktails.
• Cool down with the new sangria menu at Cabo Wabo Cantina at Miracle Mile Shops at Planet Hollywood. The summer sangria menu includes traditional rojo and classic blanco sangrias in addition to eight other options that use different fruit combinations. Each one is priced at $13.75, or get a tasting flight of three for $16.75.
• More cocktail specials can be found at Galpão Gaucho Brazilian Steakhouse. This restaurant has great views Stripside at FSLV—Fashion Show Las Vegas and offers a happy hour from 4-6:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and 3-6 p.m. on Sunday. Specialty pricing includes $9 caipirinhas and wines by the glass, $6 draft beers and $9 Jack Daniel’s or Belvedere cocktails.
• Mott 32 at The Venetian recently launched its dim sum brunch from Friday through Sunday. While the food is simply scrumptious, we beg you to go just to try the three new and unique cocktails served during brunch. The Kowloon Coffee mixes vodka, single cup extraction coffee, cream and soy sauce; the Tang-Tang is a version of a margarita with tequila, mandarin, condensed milk, lime, agave and a house-made Szechuan coconut crunch; and the Treasure Cloud is presented tableside in a dim sum basket with champagne and exotic fruits.
