Making plans that everyone can agree on can get sticky—so let Las Vegas Magazine do the deciding for you. Grab your friends and get to partying with this selection of new offerings along the Strip and across the valley.
Get into the Christmas spirit early by celebrating at Silverton’s Bad Elf Pop-Up Bar back again this year at the property’s Shady Grove Lounge. The holiday spirit fills the lounge with an explosion of twinkling lights, wrapped gifts, ornaments, decorated trees and tons of elves (inspired by the popular Elf on a Shelf). While sipping on themed cocktails, like The Grinch Shot, Spicy Apple Cider, Candy Cane or Naughty Butter Beer, groups can also purchase one of three Bad Elf Experiences that includes the Bad Elf Puzzle Hunt, where you can win top prizes like a VIP dinner at Twin Creeks Steakhouse.
Head to Jaleo at The Cosmopolitan for the tapas restaurant’s new Sangria Hour from 5-7 p.m. Sunday-Thursday. Again, if there’s a group of you, for only $75 you can order the “board and bottle” special, which includes a choice of five Spanish cheeses or a selection of cured Ibérico meats paired with a bottle of red, white or sparkling wine. Other specials include $7 house-made sangrias, $8 wines by the glass, $6 beers, and tapas plates for only $5-$9.
Looking for some hot Latin beats? Head to Chica at The Venetian, where on Friday and Saturday nights the restaurant turns into Chica Late Night from 9 p.m.-2 a.m. Guests can hit the dancefloor as DJs spin live Latin sounds. There’s also a late-night menu of dishes like crispy tuna tacos and wagyu empanadas. Indulge in bottle service with premier liquors and enjoy handcrafted cocktails like the popular Chica-Rita with blanco tequila, pineapple, lime, agave and tiki bitters.
Hang at the sexy and sleek Scotch 80 Prime at Palms and enjoy its new happy hour every Monday-Thursday, from 5-6:30 p.m. Specials include a variety of $8 cocktails like the 1783 Old-Fashioned, Peach & Thai Basil Smash and the Dirty Blue Martini. Another awesome deal includes a flight of three different Scotches or a variety of wines by the glass, both for only $24.
For football fans, especially those heading to Allegiant Stadium on Sunday, Nov. 13, to watch the Raiders face the Colts, take the party over to Luxor and Mandalay Bay for The Fan District outside of The Shoppes at Mandalay Place, where you can enjoy a food truck tailgate party. Those who hold tickets to the game can enjoy pre- or post-game offerings at various spots around each property that include buy-one, get-one draft beers, swag giveaways and signed memorabilia.
Any bacon lovers in the house? Head to The D downtown and check out the new Bacon Nation bacon-inspired restaurant, where all dishes contain bacon, including the Bloody Mary cocktails. There’s also a delicious menu of adult milkshakes.
