Warm up with some new winter cocktails at one of downtown’s coolest hangs, Vegas Vickie’s. The lounge is home to the 20-foot-tall neon sign, Vegas Vickie, a cowgirl, complete with hat and boots, who has watched over the famed Fremont Street for more than four decades and now lives inside the Circa Resort & Casino at the lounge named after her.
With plenty of seating, the hot spot is the perfect place to enjoy the new winter specialty cocktail menu inspired by different states across the nation. Start with the Raising Arizona, made with Elijah Craig small batch bourbon and mixed with PX Pedro Ximénez sherry, lemon, sage, egg white and fig. Las Vegas has long been considered Hawaii’s Ninth Island, so in honor of the connection, The Ninth Cocktail takes flavors from the islands and blends together Rémy Martin 1738 cognac, banana, salted caramel, Nocino, pineapple two ways, tiki bitters and macadamia nuts. Vegas’ next-door neighbor gets a nod on the menu with the California Love, a mix of Mount Gay XO rum, blood orange, grapefruit, cardamom and pomegranate.
One cocktail has remained a perennial favorite on the menu—the Wish You Were Here. It’s mixed with Glen Grant 12-year Scotch, peach, Amaro Nonino, St-Germain, lemon and apple cider vinegar. The bonus of this cocktail is that guests receive a Circa-branded postcard with the cocktail; you can fill it out at the bar and the staff will mail it off for you. Let your friends know about all the fun you’ve been having in Vegas!
