Good times and good cocktails collide at Gatsby’s Cocktail Lounge. It’s upscale and chic meets house party vibes inside this hot spot located on the casino floor at Resorts World Las Vegas. Early evening welcomes more relaxed vibes, but once 10 p.m. rolls around the DJ kicks things into gear late into the night Thursday through Saturday. Making a reservation for a table is the best way to go if you’re with a larger group, but there’s plenty of open, high-top table and bar seating, too. But once those beats kick in, everyone is usually up on their feet and dancing.
Fueling the fun is Gatsby’s impressive cocktail program with a plethora of specialty cocktails. There’s even a secret menu (be sure to ask the bartender about the Champagne Bubble Bath). Go classic with a Moscow Mule with Absolute Elyx vodka, Fever-Tree ginger beer and lime juice or a Gatsby’s Gin & Tonic with Bombay Sapphire gin and your choice of Fever-Tree tonic in cucumber, elderflower or Mediterranean flavorings. Special recipe highlights include the Lavender Lotus (pictured) with Tanqueray 10 gin, dry vermouth, crème de violette, lavender syrup and egg whites and the Some Like It Hot with Volcan X.A. tequila, Fresno chili peppers, cilantro, lime juice and agave.
Don’t miss out on one of the best Monday deals on the Strip, $5 Martini Mondays at Gatsby’s. Yup, you read the right! $5 martinis! From 4-9 p.m., imbibe on five martini choices all made with Tito’s Handmade vodka: classic, lemon drop, Cosmo, dirty and espresso.
Into bubbles? Gatsby’s is lauded for its collection of rare, vintage and popular champagne selections as well as a robust wine selection, hand-selected vintages that excite the taste buds.
If you want to make it a complete night of it, Gatsby’s comes in clutch with a food menu, too. Cheese and charcuterie boards are great for sharing, and there are even sushi rolls like rock shrimp tempura, hamachi and snow crab California roll. Other highlights include wagyu gyoza, blue fin tuna tartare and what some claim are the best chicken tenders ever!
