Best Cocktail Bars in The Golden Nugget Hotel & Casino

Lovely atmosphere and cocktails! 5 plates was enough for 4 people to have a bit of everything and feel satisfied. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would stop by again.

Vanderpump Paris is amazing! My wife and I loved it. We were sat down quick with our reservation. Oliver was one of the nicest people I’ve ever met, he helped us decide on what we wanted and what would pair well with our drinks. The atmosphere is stunning and relaxing. Food and drinks were delicious. We are definitely returning next time we’re in Vegas!

The staff here is AMAZING!! Some of the drinks are pre batched but the bartenders are more than willing to help make you a drink with what they have. My thanks to Jason and Cesar!!

I enjoyed an outstanding meal at MSP! The duck breast entree was perfectly cooked, and the accompanying sauce and farro side nicely played off the richness of the duck. Fry bread app and dips was unique and a fun way to start. Huge shout out to owner Kim, who is a paragon of hospitality. Her enthusiasm and care are rare and much appreciated. She makes sure to visit every table and chats warmly with her guests. I will return when I am in Las Vegas and enthusiastically recommend you dine there as well.

Pre-movie dinner at the bar. As is typical, I had had menu items already selected before arrival, only to be derailed by the new and limited once actually in the restaurant. Was sold on the Featured Cocktail, Beowulf ($18; named by Cami), because black walnut and honey. Incredibly smooth, rich rounded taste. One of the new fall/winter menu items was the Green Apple + Red Endive ($21): A salad which pinged every part of the tongue, as long as the forkful managed to spear every type of ingredient. A tasty sensory exploration. Salty, fatty, crisp, crunchy, sweet, sharp. Was interested in trying the special sake and so, after a glowing description from Drew, opted for the Wild Boar Lasagna ($28) as pair. But before the dish arrived, I got a wee taste of Kikuhime Kukurihime Daiginjo Sake so switched to that liquid instead ($35 for 4 oz). Lasagna: Incredible. Multiple layers of perfect pasta interlaced with succulent rich (but not heavy or cloying) meat in a shallow pour of earthy salty sweet sauce, with an extra cheesy punch from the foamy topping. The edges had been described upon delivery as like those of brownies, and did have that extra crispiness and depth of savory flavor. I mopped the plate. Finished with the Creamy Bitter Boozy ($16): A great balanced sipper to end the meal. Value: Fine to me, although a couple of my choices may be viewed as even more budget-busting than usual. Atmosphere: Relatively subdued for Sparrow + Wolf, with the bar not as packed as it usually is, but still energetic. Very friendly seatmates. Service: One of the highlights of the meal, led by Drew. Attentive, with informative stories on the background of various food and drink, enhancing an already amazing dinner.
