• Take a trek to Vegas suburbia, better known as Henderson, and check out Ethel M Chocolates Factory & Cactus Garden to book one of the Spring Chocolate & Mimosa Tastings from May 24-30 at 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 and 5 p.m. The experience includes four specialty chocolates paired with four fruit-flavored mimosas. Must be 21+.
• Who’s seen The Devil Wears Prada 2? I know, I won’t bore you with questions (wink, wink), but in honor of the movie’s release, Peacock Alley at Waldorf Astoria recently added The Devil’s Martini to its summer menu. The cocktail is a bold reimagining of the classic martini. This version is a mix of Grey Goose, Sakura vermouth and hibiscus extract with a preserved Japanese baby peach for garnish.
• Who’s in town to see the iconic No Doubt residency at Sphere? In honor of the band’s appearance, Juliet Cocktail Room and Electra Cocktail Club, both at The Venetian Resort (walking distance from Sphere), hosts No Doubt-themed parties through June 13. At Electra Cocktail Club, enjoy DJs spinning pop-rock and throwback hits from 10 p.m.-2 a.m. At Juliet Cocktail Room, enjoy a preshow shindig with live bands from 5-8 p.m. and then hurry back after the concert to enjoy DJs spinning pop, rock, ska and punk from 9 p.m.-2 a.m.
• With a name like Bonus Round Totally Awesome Bar + Arcade, a good time is guaranteed! The newly opened space at MGM Grand offers classic arcade games paired with a menu of specially themed cocktails, canned beers and game-night bites like wings, pretzel bites, sliders, pizza rolls and churro bites. An awesome happy hour called Power Hour from 9-11 p.m. Monday and Thursday is one helluva deal, with unlimited arcade game play and unlimited well drinks and draft beers for just $45 per person!
• Try and scope out the speakeasy behind the donut shop at Proper Eats Food Hall at Aria. Easy’s Cocktail Lounge is totally invisible to passersby, but once you gain access, it’s an intimate lounge that drips in chic velvet curtains and club chairs, candlelit ambience and a small stage for live performances. On May 27, enjoy America’s Got Talent season five winner Michael Grimm as he performs a unique blend of Americana, soul and blues. And two special tequila cocktails are being served on that night only, the As Seen on TV and The Viral Espresso Martini.

• Another speakeasy, hidden inside Caspian’s Rock & Roe at Caesars Palace, throws a Tuesday bash, Pop Punk Night on May 26, with pop-punk hits and anthems. The evening starts out a lil’ mellow with an acoustic set from Ziggy Zeno and is followed by a smashing, rock-out-loud performance from Kamikaze Sons.
• If a more chill night is your speed, head downtown to Doberman Drawing Room, where they serve up some of the most unique, tasty cocktails in the city. The bar recently released a new menu inspired by the fictional worlds created by moviemaker Wes Anderson. The whimsical menu layers ingredients and technique to create one-of-a-kind sips like The Life Aquatic, Isle of Dogs, The Royal Tenenbaums and more. The bartenders walk you through why each cocktail’s flavor matches up with the movie it’s named after—it’s quite the cocktail experience.
• Closing out Memorial Day Weekend, head to the clubs to sweat and groove to a wicked lineup of world-renowned DJs. The calendar includes: DJ Pauly D (May 24), Justin Credible (May 26), Tiësto (May 29) and Steve Aoki (May 30) at Omnia Nightclub and Fisher (May 24) and Louis the Child (May 29) at Omnia Dayclub, both at Caesars Palace; Rick Ross (May 24), Telykast (May 28), Justin Credible (May 29) and Ohgeesy (May 30) at Hakkasan and Alesso (May 30) at Palm Tree Beach Club, both at MGM Grand; Martin Garrix (May 24), Amiri Paul (May 25), Cedric Gervais (May 29) and Tiësto (May 30) at Tao Beach Dayclub at The Venetian Resort; and Noizu (May 29) and Meduza (May 30) at Zouk Nightclub at Resorts World Las Vegas.
